First thing you probably notice is that everything stays the same or increases with each rank upgrade. Well this makes sense, the larger contribution you make to keeping this server up and running, the more that you should get in return (it's like an investment)

Well there is one rank upgrade that does not make sense, the $250 rank upgrade. You actually lose blocks in your kit from upgrading.

From $100 to $250 donor you lose 50% of your iron
From $100 to $250 donor you lose 75% of your sand blocks

This is a big deal to me because iron is a valuable asset and costs quite a bit to obtain. Some may say o its just 8 iron. Well I counter that with the iron trading rate. It is 2-3 grass blocks per iron. That means the iron lost in the donor upgrade costs me 16-24 grass blocks each day. I am not sure if you are aware, but the price of grass blocks has doubled in the last couple of months. So this is like the loss being 32-48 grass blocks lost in each day.

Furthermore, the sand lost is painful. Sand is illegal to obtain through trading or "buying" at /warp grass so the only means is through donor kits. Well, I was used to getting 15 blocks of sand being a $100 donor before I upgraded to being a $250 donor. Now it takes 3 times as long to get the same amount of sand I could have gotten before. This is upsetting because my sand "income" is not as low as a $50 donor.

Hopefully I made my point in why I am upset in the surprise I got from upgrading to a $250 donor. I would appreciate something being done about this

 

Logistical thread. Seems odd that you pay more to receive less.

 

I also spotted this the other day when considering my upgrade options. It'll be interesting to see what the response is.

 

Donating isnt necassarly for the perks, only donate if you want to help the server, perks come afterwards as a reward.

 

I agree with this thread, i mean that i a lot of money and for that you get less sand and iron so u support

 

We do get more commands with the rank, also getting a colored name and prefix. While getting more cobble in the kit and 2 extra diamonds then the donor100. The kits are just a extra thing we get for donating. Same as commands. Also Sand blocks are worth nothing, as we cant trade with it.

 

You don't get it do you?

Just like mackle said, you are donating to the serving. You deserve nothing in return; they give you this stuff as like a "Thank-you." They will never raise the amount you get just because you're not satisfied. It is NOT a purchase, it is a full on donation you should expect nothing in return.

DONATION, NOT PURCHASE!

 

250 is really unfair. I only donated 250 for the "diamonds". Now 100 gets diamonds too? I mean, diamonds are going to be worth nothing soon, looking at how many 100 donators there are.

You loose items in 250? I mean the colour name and everything is really nice, but diamonds are getting worth sh*t and 250s get less items? Well, now Im just asking myself: "Why did I donate?"

If other 250s read this, I expect they be pissed too. I mean, 150$ is not just nothing. I got that from my own pocket money that I worked hard for. And now this? This is nonsense.


Yes, I know items are not a that big deal. But if I where a person who builds a lot? There are probaly some 250s out there that do that. Where do I get my new matierials from?

Now 100 donators, you're going to hate at this message, but think of it in my sight. You donate 150$ from your own pocket money which you worked hard for, and then you're kit gets downgraded and your diamonds are going to be worthless in a few months.

I'm pretty pissed at reading this as you can see. Before leaving a comment or rating bad , seriosly think of it in my sight.


Cypriotmerks or Noobcrew, please change this. ​

 

I agree with you in a certain extent...Since there is no other way to obtain sand except from the donor kits I agree that we need more sand for building purposes ,but in the matter of iron lost in our kit , I disagree with you since people sell 50-60 iron for a diamond, so you can just spent one diamond from your kit and get almost a whole stack of iron and by doing that you give people the opportunity to get diamonds which they do not have in their kits and you get the iron that you need. In my opinion every single kit is fair enough, we should be pleased and not asking for more since we already have more than enough!

 

I say the exact same thing to you.

You DONATED, they even had a FULL list of terms and condition(doubt you read them) VERY CLEARLY stating the fact what you give is a donation. NOT a purchase, NON refundable, and COMPLETELY 100% donation fo your money to the server. THAT is what the donation are, if you don't get your kits, perks, and such, and/or don't get paid back, TOUGH. Like I said, the Terms and Conditions stat very clearly that you are giving your money for the purpose of donation, NOT of purchase.

 

Alright guys this thread is stupid period whatever you say.
Imagine you going to a store and seeing a sign that a homeless man is holding it says donate please,
U give him 10$ then a day or two later you go back and ask for your money back or I'm going to tell the whole world you stole my money. It's a DONATION. I can't stress that enough. Think about it. You get 2 more diamonds than 100 dollar donors, right? We'll you are complaining about not getting enough grass. USE THE EXTRA DIAMONDS TO BUY IT, IT IS REALLY THAT SIMPLE. There is even a donation page. Why donate just to complain, you didn't have to but you did it so it's your fault, make this thread before you donate and start complaining.

 

I'm not going to get into what I think about kits with upgrading, because I believe that it is totally worth it; also including all of the extra perks you get. However, I love to build pixel arts and I believe that the SAND decrease in the Skygod kit is a bit rubbish if you ask me. I'm always in need of more sandstone for Blonde hair, Yellow background, etc. And having to waiting a whole week for (8 sandstone?!?). I just believe that the sand needs to be increased in /kit donor250

 

I think that you should be able to recive more for giving more. This thread is very well done. I disagree with Craft and Mackle because just because you "donated" doesn't mean you should recive less than the lower donors, Though I AM just a 50$ donor, I think the higher ranks should get more.

 

I pay money for rank not donation. If this is consider a donation ill put this though my tax return account

 

I know we get less iron, but you get the luxury of 2 extra diamonds which you can spend on more iron. And if you count the /kit donor10 every 3 days, you get 10 iron average per day, not 8.

Essentially the only thing I agree with is the sand, because it's non tradable it's impossible to obtain even with the 21 weekly diamonds. Granted we could buy glass, but I'm sure there are Skygods who wish to decorate a beach biome etc.

 

FINALLY someone that is a sky god understands. U have TWO extra diamonds I thank you blahblah
