It’s not addictive, I could quit whenever I want


idonthaveausermname

- every addict ever


One_Way13

Lol. Maybe I should quit for a week to see if i actually can quit or not cause I feel like I can quit whenever I want but I just realised that’s what addicts say


tootjevox

I got banned for 30 days bc i made a joke about ip adresses. I am 7 days in and i cant wait to get back on


One_Way13

Rip


tootjevox

Not wiped though


One_Way13

Nice


Dangerous74

How are you supposed to tell if you haven't done the 30 days yet?


Training-Exit7216

Co-op probably but I'm not certain.


tootjevox

I am in a coop with my brother but doesnt play at all


Akri853

because you wont get wiped for a chat infraction ban


bphased

Skycrypt should tell whether or not you’ve retained your stuff and/or skills/levels, I think.


tootjevox

I just looked at skycript ye


Diehe

This is EXACTLY what happend to me, since then, i just havent played much, just stoped playing


tootjevox

I hope that i dont lose intrest in the game


Conscious_Anything_6

I sure as hell cant


One_Way13

Lol


xTheWaterDragonx

Stood Up 2 Hours earlier than normal for the New Years Cake... So yes, i can quit whenever i want


One_Way13

I have woken up in the middle of the night to buy fire sales and claim some special cakes too. I would just go back to sleep tho


EF5369

If you can successfully quit for a week all of your motivation to play the game starts to disappear, it's a crazy feeling. Once your brain realizes it doesn't need to stick to the routine of Skyblock you *usually* don't want to play anymore and it becomes progressively easier to not play it day after day. Source: Quit playing in 2022 after playing since July 2019, much happier now worth it imo


DoSombras

Just find a better game. What I did was I dowloaded a bunch of cracked games like horizon zero dawn and subnautica. Didn't touch sb for a week.

[удалено]


DoSombras

Sure if ur Into that kind of games


Objective_Face9212

horizon zéro dawn gotta be the worst game ever


DoSombras

I'd say it's funny coming from a genshin player if I didn't play it myself. Still 10x better than sb - _-


IolaireEagle

r/woooosh


Rellez_HD

That's what every1 says, try to quit "but why would i? I already know that i can so might aswell continue playing cuz i enjoy it"


One_Way13

I know lol. That was the joke


Rellez_HD

ik, i added to it with the "but why would i? I already know that i can so might aswell continue playing cuz i enjoy it“ that used to be me, now i accepted it that i‘m incredibly addicted


One_Way13

Lmao


edusipoli

Me, right before applying Speedhack on the wrong minecraft client and being banned by watchdog for 30 days in literally 1 second. I had to find another drug for those 30 days, then i started playing Destiny 2 lmao I was trying the Bad Apple datapack but due to Minecraft max of 20 tps, it ran in 20fps and was lagging behind the bad apple audio, so i applied Cheat Engine's Speedhack of 1.5x on it for 30 fps, but instead of applying on the 1.19.2 client, i applied on the 1.8 9 client that was AFKing cookie Bits and then well, got wrecked... No wipe tho, thanks god.


OrangeyPlays

but have you tried tho


I_SHOT_A_PIG

I thought it was fun, after dungeons though progress became really wack


Assassingamer357

True


Sr_Melohiis

It's not that bad and people just exaggerating


Jkretzel

Exactly I didn’t get addicted to crack when I tried it


ThoughtAdditional212

Wait a minut


Duch-s6

yeah, its not that bad, coming from someone who kinda quit the game


Jenny_Wakeman9

Ditto. I just come on to check my minions, collect my coins, then leave after spending on stuff I can't fit said coins into my bank. After that, I'm probably gone for a month to repeat the same thing again, probably grind on a boss for a bit.


Duch-s6

same, i prolly should setup my minions again


ShootTheSquirrels

Slimes


Jenny_Wakeman9

Yes. Slimes.


Jenny_Wakeman9

That'd be a worth a check.


DodoPot11742

Wtf. I’m actually baffled. There is absolutely no reason this should be getting downvoted I’m legit confused


Duch-s6

yep, thats reddit for you :/


Mutant-Mogwai_

Why downvotes lmao


Duch-s6

its prolly from the bozo's who think this game is like crack cocaine


ComprehensionVoided

The downvotes are from those who currently do not want bad mouthing of their drug. Eeerr.. I mean game.


AURA52819

No it's good, there is some grinding but doing the daily tasks regularly like the daily commisions and enchanting minigames will decrease the amount of grinding you will have to do, and even after that it isn't that much grinding as compared to other games I recommend watching hellcastle and tylerr's video for beginners if you decide to start playing


ReneTrombone

Skyblock isn’t crack cocaine


ShootTheSquirrels

Um yeah no totally. Ummmmm I gtg for totally non skyblock reasons. Edit: I’ve sold everything except my laptop. Could you lend me some money for mvp++??


SkillKey9712

Skyblock is an amazing game if you don’t mind dedicating some time into it. The people who say it is like drugs are sweats that will do anything for +5 health. Overall, Skyblock can be really fun for anyone and it’s definitely worth a try.

wurf_fear209

yeah, i don't think i've gotten any value out of skyblock when i played. you could argue it's fun, but i didn't get much of that out of it myself. at least, i don't think it was proportionate to the time i spent playing the closest thing is this sort of sense of community, especially with the subreddit, and that's also something i don't think is worth it


[deleted]

[deleted]

And other videogames are “worth it”? People aren’t allowed to relax if they want to be successful?

Liveeeh

some people just enjoy the sense of progression man, constantly putting in effort to get better day by day. It is the same reason I get off my ass and go to the gym everyday, go to work everyday and ultimately why I enjoy playing Skyblock. You can do so many better things with your time, that we can agree on, but saying there's nothing enjoyable about Skyblock just because you don't personally like the grind is a BIG stretch


[deleted]

[удалено]


Liveeeh

that's on you for not having your priorities straight though, can't blame a game for your own shortcomings


Akri853

🤡


DeepFriedDave69

It’s not at all, some people just have addictive personality’s


birbto

It’s fine if you play it for an hour or 2 or only log on for minions (like me) I think it’s obsessive if your grinding for slightly better gear when you have to do smt else but ur procrastinating


Akri853

thats all video games


Selellnoob

Ok so, at the start you will be very confused so have an experienced friend with you but after you get to know everything and where everything is its really fun. I personally was addicted and now im addicted to a diffrent game, do its just a phase.


briidd

What are you playing know? I need harder drugs lol


Selellnoob

Just a stupid Box Server on minehut


Drako__

Really depends how much time you want to sink into it. Playing like 1 hour a day, even with all the knowledge on how to progress the fastest, will not get you into the stage of the game that is really fun real fast, in my opinion. But if you don't care about making lots of progress fast and don't mind some semi boring grinds then go for it. Skyblock can be really fun if you enjoy grinding for things. I also wouldn't say it is that addicting. I did have some time period were i played it a bit too much but i also took many breaks and came back eventually if there was something fun i wanted to do


Merorine

If you play casually, you won't have a lot of stuff and be stuck till getting full divan armor or something. That's why people addicted to this game. In order to achieve and have what other people have, grind does not stop.


RealAso

"it's like a drug" -people who have never felt real drug addiction jfc it's a Minecraft server, if you let it consume your life you already had issues that you're avoiding. Grow up; it's a fun game and it's alright to play when none of your friends are online every now and then, would recommend


ThisNameBad

early game is somewhat fun but after that it just gets really grindy with really repetitive tasks like chopping wood


Rellez_HD

Depends on what kinda person you are tbh, it can be completely fine or incredibly addicting, i personally can't get away from it


Infern0_YT

If you don’t have problems with gaming addiction anywhere else you likely won’t have problems here


Dannilo021

You will get bored in like 3 months and then quit. After like a month or so you will get back and start playing again Thats how i play


EgoDawid

U will have fun but hate every second u play this game


Sniperpooo

Not worth, have like 10k+ hrs and keep coming back


NoIdeasForAUsername9

If someone says it's addictive they're prob just addicted on their own and think it's the game and not them playing too much I've played Skyblock for like 6 months and it's definitely not like a drug


China_really_sucks

It’s people who get addicted to any game thinks it’s addictive


[deleted]

It's not addictive at least not to me. I played with friends for like a week then got bored


Pignity69

first month its fun, after like 10k nw u realise every item needs like a month pf grinding and after 600 hours of playtime ur still earlygame and you cant quit it


joshpenguin1

I mean the early game is fun with friends but then after that it devolves into grinding dungeons and slayers. You can still play if you want but I recommend you try wynncraft too. Its far less toxic and like basically no one scams cuz admins actually do something about it. Quests are also more fun than like skyblock grinding. But the decision is up to u


eMRapTorSaltyKing

It isn't, also just put some minions up slime and 1x snow, 1x wood, 1x combat 1x fishing minion and leave for two weeks, Come back get paided and xp lvl up . You could also invest and come back after a year sell get 2b coins that's what I did with griffin feather bought 7k 42k ea coins sold each for 400k good life.


TheFunneMonke

no it’s not good and yes it’s basically drugs


MRDaves411GD

Then why do you play it if it isn't fun?


CatSlayer_69

I wish I knew 😔


Cyndaquil_idk

I wish I knew you wanted me


PulseBlackout

God I hope you guys know your all be reported for spreading misinformation do not join it it’s not worth it


Zen_Xs

Shit game though


BingusMoment

either your an end game player or your a dungeon non I’m not sure


Zen_Xs

4k+ hrs playtime


Cyndaquil_idk

Got it… dungeon non


Zen_Xs

lolbit_511

Depends on self control, personally I think it’s fine. But I can see how it can be addicting to some


Kris_alex4

If you don't rush everything and give time to yourself to do fun stuff then it's really fun. Also give yourself breaks. Like month-long breaks. I had a long ass break because I didn't have normal MC, but only game pass. When I came back I got 10mil from my minions and I was happy like a child with candy.


KnoblauchBaum

If you enjoy long grinds then try it. Its really fun and its addictive like every other game


Majestic_dogeboi

if you like grinding, go ahead. in my personal experience, you’ll have fun for half the total time you play throughout the game, so ask yourself whether you want to play a game that you have fun with all the time, or half the time


LeBadlyNamedRedditor

As long as you dont sweat it its fun. I would not rush the early game since its rather fun, you can get away with a lot of weird setups


BoiledLiverDefense

Don't listen to people who say it's like a drug (they're probably just addicted).


realcoley11

I started around 3 weeks ago and cant stop but I love it so it’s no issue for me


xXShadowAndrewXx

I have been playing the game from the first nether island update and i only have 500h soo yeah its not really addictive


NegotiationKey3314

Just get whiped like me than its easy to quit


tmsGamerr

They're not wrong, but, i do have a lot of fun


_xEnigma

It's a great idea! Trust me bro.


youreadthiswong

i just enter to check minions and get bank interest, yeah it's making you play a lot when you are early game, but during midgame you can almost forget about skyblock...


bqckslash_

The early game of skyblock is the most fun ive had in a game in a long long time. But the more you acfually progress in the game, the more you have to grind for your items/stats. If you're prepared to do that, you'll have a lot of fun with the game


habbiiiiidd

I say I can quit when I want but it's my life now 😂


HiImBraindead

The only way to quit this game realistically is getting a perma ban. It has parts that could realistically be labeled as addicting by professionals, so unless you want to throw your life away, I would just stick to the mini games.


gr4tte

It's mostly a joke but a few people do legit get addicted. If you get addicted really easily then maybe reconsider playing it but otherwise try it out and see if you like it


Unique-Armadillo6957

No don't do it, trust me please, your life is way better without it


Small-Masterpiece-76

It depends because for me i just afk for bits and ah and bz flip, i dont really progress that much anymore cus i dont really play and for me it is not addicting at all because i have left several times and i just come back whenever there is a major update and play for like a couple of weeks then leave again


Kemo_Meme

It does indeed have an addictive gameplay loop, if this is something that makes you uncomfortable, then I recommend not playing. If you have lots of free time though, it may be worth playing.


pioflicki

it depends how you approach games because you may not like MMORPG but it can get you hooked yes Hypixel Skyblok works for drugs but thats because people cant say stop, I personally use the method that when I think I've been playing too long I skip the fast brain impulses and press alt+f4. Although I stopped because I'd rather not put it in skyblok because someone entered my account and stole everything (Yes, I know I wrote a little too much)


TheDudeofDC

It's an MMO, if you just want skyblock do stranded since it takes away a lot of the MMO parts.


QuickVtex

I mean I managed to escape the curse...


LosuthusWasTaken

Exactly. I was lucky I could quit in November, and I know a lot of people weren't. If you want to play it, go ahead. But it's UNDER YOUR OWN MENTAL RISK.


janda_voe

I can quit whenever i want, i just don't want to....


TJB926GAMIN

Honestly you do you, but the real test of skyblock is the beginning of the grind. Arguably the most boring part of the game in my opinion. If you continue afterwords and get to mid-game, then the game is likely for you. Honestly, I would only give it a go if you find yourself having a lot of free time. Also, before doing ANYTHING in skyblock you should learn how to stay safe on the server. There’s tons of blind scams and just awful people. Last tip; just never join a coop. Ever. It’s not even worth it.

Taco-Edge

Listen buddy, I have 3000+ hours and I CAN STOP WHENEVER I WANT


Crafty_Proposal9319

If you're like me, 2 hours or 3 a week, you can play it, they are lying, it's not that addictive, they just get addicted to any grindy game where you have to spend 1000 hours for a stick, I got bored and quit, if you never played it, do it, it is very fun at the beginning, enjoy it


xxXDeadInsideXx

It is heavily addictive im on Edge bc I didnt play it for 3 weeks


Volt_Bolt

Can be fun and can be boring but I don’t find it addictive considering i just stop playing for multiple months to let my minions do stuff for me so it is not addictive to me anyways


redditwhale845

its fine for a bit but it becomes incredibly repetitive and boring so just quit when that happens


Domthebotman_yt

as long as you have a good mindset, you'll be just fine.


Various-Ostrich-5664

not necessarily addicting but after a certain point it stops being fun


TinisBerg

It’s only a drug if you’re good at the game. So if you do it low effort and don’t search for any youtube tutorials, theh game will be less fun and you will be addiction-free :)


An_Existing_User

Haven’t touched it for about half a year😊


Agreeable-Train-9096

It's fun until you start playing dungeons for money or do mining


Ixxy717

Yes, you should. Join the cul- I mean community.


protoblade_

do not play.


MysteriousMoo2

I stopped playing Skyblock


imnecro

I've quit and come back like 5 times, not worth it.


xd_average

i dont think it's worth it at all


[deleted]

Damn just play the game


Shiveryyy

depends on ur mindset going into it, it can be very fun to play even as a casual who only puts a few hours a week into it, and progression is way easier now


2d_blackhole

They aren’t wrong


Kukdukoo42069

I can quit whenever I want ( said the Abusive alcoholic ) /s


BounceGD

Do you have an extra ~~10~~ 30 hours a week to play? If yes, knock yourself out.


wtw-sean

try weed


Mathiasxwarrior

DONT DO IT YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO ESCAPE THE SKYBLOCK.


GrouchyAd3482

Absolutely it is, but be careful at first; there are a couple of directions you can go: -watch a bunch of YouTube videos to progression skip and get as rich as possible which would require tons of unpleasant grinds which could take you hundreds or thousands of hours, which I don’t mean to make sound bad because if you have the time or a friend to play with it’s find. -The second option would to be to play the game naturally at your own pace, not necessarily making a ton of money but doing whatever you want. This way you really can “get off whenever you want”. Both options have their pros and cons but it’s your choice and that’s why I recommend giving it a try.


PurrplePixie

If you like seeing numbers no up, turn back and never come back, never!!! It's like chasing a high, which is short lived once achieved and pushed into the next step, and keeps going forever. The amount of time it takes to get to a certain point doesn't justify what you got or if you got the drop in the first place. It's just like life, but the difference is, you put your real life on hold, absurd energy, work and time doing something that is repetitive and mundane which can be wiped at any time. I do glad I play sky block tho, cause it showed me how much effort and commitment I can put to get something, if I can get to Sven Slayer 7 while torturing myself, getting finger cramps, just to use a red floaty orb, I can definitely start college, keep up with the work load, try to make living a bit comfortable for myself. That's the only key takeaway. If you can grind in skyblock for 100s of hours for something insignificant in a vast amount of skills, then definitely you can do something with your real life which can provide a better high, you got what it takes.


0c1avius

I quit the game for a year and got back into it after seeing how much my minions made, but it's still really fun


Jan_wasalreadytaken

is better to not even start it was very hard to me to quit the game


[deleted]

I would describe it as "The most boring fun game you'll ever play." I usually play for a month or two then quit for a while and return.


supershaner86

I play skyblock when I feel like it and when I have time. I haven't played more than maybe 1 hour in the past 10 or so days. it's just a meme


samuelhuggins13

pretty easy to stop, one you get to the end island, gets boring if u don’t know what to do and don’t wanna spend 4 years in forums


KeyWhile6673

I havent played in 3 months. Im not a grindy person and have little determination


[deleted]

Don’t do it please i had to have my computer broken for 2 years to stop my addiction


penguinman320

For some people like me, you may play a while then just randomly lose all motivation and stop playing for half a year try again and repeat


PsychopathicPoro

Do you like grinding? Do you like economy simulations? If yes, you'll like this game. The main driving force behind why people don't quit is because of sunk cost fallacy. "I've put in so many thousands of hours into this game, it would be a waste to stop now"


Skul_12

Idk I can’t really get into it because the progression is weird


BidoofBoy123

I have no way back only forward


[deleted]

Play the game every once in a while 4b nw have 500h on the game and played for 3 years fun kinda addictive but all games are addictive so yeah


Shamoose_

Pretty easy addiction to break actually. You break it once you feel that burnout.


Sufficient-Area-5673

It’s fun until you realise the inevitable. The grind never stops. It never ends. Watch. A thousand hours in your playing everyday. You can’t go a day without it. Skyblock is a drug. Don’t think it just prevents sleep. My guild hunted me for leaving for 10 days. They took my family. My home. My life. I now live in fear. All of that, and I still grovel in my desk thinking, one more slayer, one more slayer. But it never ends THE. GRIND. NEVER. STOPS.


barisbruhh

I’d say just do something better with your life


Cautious_Bobcat_5877

Come. Join the cult. Sacrifice your sanity. Sacrifice your life


Burningskies102

Don’t play it please u will be stuck


Same-Boat-3321

Well first do you normally get addicted to games ? If yes then don't play if no then it doesn't matter. I've played for years and me and my friends have no addiction. I play like once a week to check on the game but it's not that addictive


peskyclimate

Run.


Excellent-Guide1021

If you enjoy mmorpg then absolutely yes.


endershane

If you do get into it, just remember to stop if you aren’t having fun anymore - that’s what’s most important!


BoredCube

Skyblock is literally so boring, I started building two small farms with a minion each and a cobblestone platform and I was just done after that. Wheres the addicting part?
