    Overall, I feel as though skyblock.org is WAYYY too easy. I mean after I made the mob trap at our island, you really make money as though it's nothing. After you make some money, EVERYTHING else becomes too easy in terms of money making. Diamonds are too easy to obtain, iron is incredibly easy to obtain in terms of what the current prices are. Players are making a killing and spending so little to get such items. Repair costs are beyond pathetic.

    I want to suggest the following changes:

    Diamond -> 5000 skybucks
    Iron -> 2000 skybucks
    Redstone -> 100 skybucks
    Grass -> 250 skybucks
    Sand -> 500 skybucks

    Unique Saplings -> 750 skybucks

    Slime Balls -> BUY [20 skybucks] SELL [2 skybucks]
    Snow Balls -> 25 skybucks
    Clay -> 25 skybucks
    Lapis -> 50 skybucks
    Enderpearl -> 30 skybucks

    64 wood planks -> 160 skybucks
    64 cobblestone -> BUY [250 skybucks]SELL [30 skybucks]

    Pumpkin-> BUY [10 skybucks] SELL [2 skybucks]
    Melon -> BUY [10 skyblocks] SELL [4 skybucks]

    Jukebox -> 7200 skybucks
    Enchant Table -> 10500 skybucks

    REPAIRING -> 1500 skybucks

    Gravel -> 100 skybucks
    Book and Quill -> 200 skybucks
    Cake -> 65 skybucks

    Netherwart -> 160 skybucks
    Lava -> 1250 skybucks
    Soul Sand -> 350 skybucks
    Nether Brick -> 55 skybucks
    Nether Brick Fence -> 55 skybucks
    Nether Brick Stairs -> 72.5 skybucks
    64 endstone -> 1400 skybucks
    Glow Stone -> 200 skybucks

    Gold nugget -> 10 skybucks
    Gold bar -> 90 skybucks
    Blaze Powder -> 180 skybucks
    Blaze Rod -> 360 skybucks
    Ghast Tear -> 180 skybucks
    Gold Sword -> 150 skybucks

    ALL FOOD ITEMS -> from 5 skybucks RAISE TO 30 skybucks

    Keep melon slice count at 5

    I really meant it when I said complete overhaul of pricing. The pricing right now is just downright pathetic.

    If anything, I would like to raise the prices even more than what I suggested up there.

    I like the idea but in my opinion it would be alot of changing because u would first of all have to change the prices and then change the voting. but i guess it could be a good idea but alot of work but good luck to ur idea taking off :D

    The voting will remain. The point is that you have to WORK your butt off to get "rich". Why do you think .net is such a success? Because it's hard to obtain items. You need to perform a great deal of work to actually get somewhere.

    I decided to take the challenge of attempting to become the richest player in skyblock and nuny will be helping me so me and him are trying to do this challenge. I think it will be incredibly challenging to do this with this type of change.

    There will be MANY people who will despise this change because they don't like a challenge. They are too scared to try to work their way up.

    In two days me and nuny were able to go from a new skyblock to a fully working island with a mob trap as well as two slime spawners which yield us incredible amounts of cash. At this point all we really need to do is sit back and relax. I HATE THAT! There's no fun in accumulating money.

    Yeah, whenever the opportunity is given I exploit the crap out of the game. I can't resist doing it, but I hate it. I went to the shop immediately and saw the slime prices. So after making far too much money off of a not too complex or special mob trap, I quickly built up a slime farm. And basically we have a quick source of money that we can casually mooch off of while we build whatever we want with the money. I have always been a fan of 100% vanilla minecraft, and extreme challenges because they feel more rewarding and meaningful.

    I agree, we should once again make .org a bit more difficult, or at least prevent exploits from advanced players.

    I feel like the prices I suggested are not even sufficient for such a thing. If you buy diamond armor for example with the new prices, the repair cost is still a joke. Perhaps the repair costs should be like 3000 skybucks.

    Also quick question: how do repairs work? You press it and it repairs EVERYTHING? Or just a single item?

    If it repairs a single item then the price should be 3000- 4000.

    If it repairs everything then it should be 5000 - 7000.

    It only repairs one thing. But I think the best way to make the price right is to try and incorporate anvils.

    Still overall I think we need to add difficulty, and maybe make more items possible to get so there are even more challenges to complete.

    Anvils would be extremely hard to get, and things like beacons maybe even more.

    I'll be honest when I say this, everyone is not donors. (Sure I am) but when I started I would be outraged at these prices, i'll be honest, though I personally, would be able to handle it, the helping hand of the economy portion of these server is what made me love it so much in the first place. I would say no for all the poor people out there.

    I really am not a fan of this idea. This isn't just a step up in the economy. This is one giant parkour jump. This will literally bankrupt me entirely with little way to gain anything back. I have to disagree with this topic. I like skyblock.org how it is. If anything (I'm a default), I would appreciate a higher sell price for melons considering the effort to get them.

    It poses a challenge to get the items said above.
    Then the above post needs to be edited a bit to take into account newbies who are starting out. In all reality none of the items in org that are sold are needed so I don't see any reason why not to change all the prices to what I have.
