    Ok

    I was recalling earlier how kind deeds on Skyblock are often returned where no reward was saught. For example, when dropping items, players sometimes drop items back. Granted it may only be a sapling or steak, though it's the sentiment that matters.

    So, a fun test to see how generous/honest the Skyblock.Net community are. The premise was simple. I was selling a Godded diamond pick at /warp skybase for whatever the player wanted to pay me. That's right, I'd accept anything.

    Anything!

    Here are a few 'transactions' from this evening. I plan on doing more soon or when I have the time (rare these days!) so maybe see you around.



    Special mention to Aubreygirl (last player). Well done for being so honest. If you see me in game, look me up if you need anything.

    Indeed. There are lots of them out there like that.

    There are also those that don't pay anything. Do you think the sample in the video is an accurate demographic/cross-section?

    No I do believe that more of the community are as generous as the last one to be honest.
    But maybe I'm wrong.

    Very good idea for a video! I feel like a larger part of the community is more generous than portrayed. I would like to see more of these in the future though :)

    The funny thing is that the weed guy must have been rich as he was able to afford an anvil to rename his items!

    I'm surprised only 1 person didn't give you anything. It means the skyblock community is very nice :)

    I think it was fairly representative, though this may have been swayed by how wealthy players are. It could be that a new player would really like a God pick, though doesn't have 2/3 grass to buy one. This was the opportunity to get one!

    As for people giving nothing. chancers gonna chance. I hold no ill feeling toward them.
