    Good Evening,

    This may not be a particularly popular suggestion, but I want to throw it out there.

    In my opinion the payout given my Skychat should be reduced significantly.

    I don't know the actual data, but I would hazard a guess that the majority of /baltop have acquired a good portion of there balance through winning skychats.

    It seems strange that the most effective way to get 'rich' in game is to sit staring at chat and not actually playing or making use of a traditional minecraft mechanic (mob farms etc).

    Feel free to shoot me down or to add some of your own thoughts- I'm genuinely intrigued to see peoples views on this.

    Maybe limit skychat reward to $200?

    Support just look at arceuz who got 100 k in a day, I think we need something else to replace skychat with or something else like really big nerf since it’s always same persons that wins

    No support, though me being a fast typist and winning often too, my issue is that it's just a minigame. You dont *need* it to play. There are always ways to improve typing speed as well.

    You are 100% right...it is just a minigame. Its pretty weird that a minigame is the best way to 'win' the game?

    Support, I'd like the skychat to have a lower reward since it's very easy money. I've also seen suggestions of having a limit of how many times you can win skychat, giving more people a chance at winning.

    Support.
    SkyChat has made many players very rich. I find this unfair, in a way, as there are those who work hard to gain money, building farms, replanting, growing, harvesting and selling; they do not have a chance to be in that top five. Lowering the reward wouldn't harm anyone. It's not like it's gonna ruin the economy if we lower it, anyways, it'll just fix it up a bit.

    Support,

    I know me, Frxn, and Bert have been abusing skychat since org came out, I'm pretty sure 1000$ is too op for skychat,

    make $200-$500 or a grass block.

    There are 3 people that got $100k fairly now.

    The people who are winning aren’t fast typers, they are just timing it. It shouldn’t be every 5 mins, it should be random. And I’d say like $200 a pop

    Neutral Bert and Fran get there money more legitimately I’m in a coop with them they farm a lot and sell stuff to get there money

    I think it should be from anywhere 4 mins to 10 mins and the winnings from 200-750

    Either a serious reduction in reward and/or a random delay between each scramble is definitely atm

    I want skychat replaced with something fairer and that requires more luck than stalking the chat.

    But 100-200$ per word and randomised times would be nice

    support, it's only a minigame and shouldn't give such high rewards

    Support, it’s an addition to help vary gameplay - it shouldn’t be the main source of funds when it is not the main focus of skyblock.

    I’ve seen other suggestions that randomise the time of skychats as well, which would be a true test of reactions rather than solidly every 5 minutes.

    Support, I really wish they could just make the reward around 100-200$ and not higher so we don't profit more money plus make it randomized like I have suggested
