This is the most misinformation I've ever heard in a single video. 5000 hours combined and I don't regret it at all

Here's the thing: I think a lot of the motivation to play SkyBlock is satisfaction in oneself from validation from within or praise from the community. SkyBlock doesn't have a sanctioned goal. Yes, you're expected to increase your SkyBlock level and your in-game net worth, but you're not obligated to do it. Completing the game takes an insurmountable amount of time, but continuing to progress in the game is much less detrimental to your social and mental health with enough self-control. Someone who plays 1 hour a day will progress slower than someone playing 3 hours a day; that's just the reality of MMOs. But the rationale for playing 3 hours a day is completely internal, for the purpose of progressing as fast as possible. Those who compare themselves to others will always feel the urge to play more to reach endgame as fast as possible, but those who care about enjoyment will just play as much as they want to. My main point here is that quitting SkyBlock is not necessary to have a healthy relationship with video games, nor will quitting SkyBlock immediately resolve your overall video game addiction. People always try to quit "cold turkey" when they realize playing SkyBlock is a problem for them, rather than trying to balance their life to include some free time for gaming. However, SkyBlock is ultimately designed to be time-consuming, and some aspects of the game are just poorly designed. Farming as a skill, with how much time it takes to complete all tasks in The Garden, no longer feels like an active game, but more of a never-ending simulator. It makes sense why those things just suck up time and cause players to spend more time online, but SkyBlock isn't directly responsible for video game addictions for the most part. Good video nonetheless.

the story sounds like my life rn exept i got 3000h alone

Only 2500 hours? I had 3k when I quit. Thank god I don’t have to deal with this addiction anymore.

when i quitted skyblock i started going to the gym💪

i escaped at around 500h but dam that game sucked

Start playing Ark and u will understand What a fcking Addiction is,lol

Ive developed an unhealthy relationship with this game but more broadly technology, and i feel like if i quit then i'll fall deeper into depression. Im disfunctional, and i feel like this game makes me feel a bit better.

I just macro, simple lol. I can go to a party and come back to 100m coins I didn’t even work for 😂

The goal of skyblock and what we got out of it isn't the best gear or the most money. It's the friends we made along the way. And my friends I play skyblock with are some of my best friends I've ever had.

Banger video, can’t believe it’s your first!

If you're rich enough or crazy enough, SkyBlock might be a good choice, otherwise consider quitting. It's a game of self-torture.

this made me wanna play more skyblock

i have alone 2.8k hours im cooked well i dont play anymore

as a person with over 10k hours in minecraft and 4k hours on skyblock im happy i quited even tho shit hasnt realy got better with the problems skyblock costed me there is a high chance i will return but at this point i want atleast 1 rng drop the only reason i stuck around for so long first my friend kicked me off of our profile so i had to start a new one and get past him than my friends wanted to start a coop so i helped it ended up being my main and just like that 4k hours gone im still in mid game about to enter late game tho but i quited and dont plan on returning till 2025 atleast

the fact thats its therapy is gold allat aside i wouldnt really say its a bad game if you dont get addicted to it it gets bad when you ivest a shitload of time in it tho

Im so addicted its now starting to affect my grades 😭

Just play the game and do irl stuff too idk it aint that hard

played f7 while watching this

2500k hours those are rookie numbers

let me get max skyblock xp first and then i’ll stop

Just play a healthy amount

But its the same with every other game, well popular game Lets take fortnite some people have been playing since 2017??? Damn and its basically been the same game maybe new mechs and guns still the same Also a game like warframe not as popular as fortnite but still pretty popular...the grind on that game is as bad if not worse than skyblock Oh what do you gain from these games? Absolutly nothing But their all fun and im not defending hypixel that game has got me hooked frfr Crap i typed for too long welp back to m7

skyblock didnt ruin my life, rust ruined it🔥🔥

I was the same :(

Bro i relate :sob:

im chilling on 3600 hours =p glacial update go brrr

i spent 600 hours on mining, instructions unclear

agreed, 1.9k hours

Great Video Man! I am still 13 and I've realized that even I was an A+ child before playing skyblock all day all night. I cant really get myself to quit it so whats the solution: Should I get Myself Banned???

tbh if you think 2500 hours is that bad i raise you my 3000 cs hours and my 2700 rust hours in pandemic

not even joking rocket league and skyblock are all I play these days lol

me myself i only have like 4.7k hours and its not enough :sob:

I might stop playing after mining update but then I dropped a wither scroll

I’m forced to take a month off due to a major chat infraction ban…

i once farmed melons for 28 hours with a 2 hour nap in the middle and made almost 400m, if i dont reach the daily npc sell limit every time i farm i feel like i wasnt productive enough

why people make it "skyblock problem" and not "me problem"? like i have 1200 hours in skyblock and i didn't have same problems with social live as you. so...in my opinion you just treated the game too serious. 0 hate towards you. just honest opinion

Skyblock can only ruin your life if you let it.

I play skyblock. It didn’t ruin my life. Be like me, be better

honestly this is so real, we need more people to see this, and i need to figure out how to get skyblock out of my mind for good after thousands of hours :p

I’ve always wanted to become a top player at something and when I realized skyblock was less skill based and was more on strategy and time placed in, I knew I just had to go all in. I might not be the top 1, but at least I can be part of the top 100 one day.

Conclusion? Skyblock player gave no sense of respect

For me at least, skyblock is not that deep, and it didn't effect my life in the slightest bit, except for like an hour or less every day. But thanks for sharing your story.

Okay actual comment time. I understand the feeling of breaking free of a game that's owned your life for years. I do. But I think the issue isn't 100% with the game, I think it's primarily with the person playing. It's important to have a balance in life for all the things that are important to you, but Skyblock differs very little from other games in the sense that they can be addicting and throw your life balance off. Skyblock does seem to be a big progenitor of this behavior, but if you look deep enough the same issue can be found in every game. Finding a good balance of any game in your life is important. On saying Skyblock is a drug- it technically isn't; however, this little drug called dopamine is absolutely what's causing the confusion here. A sense of progression and getting items and rare drops hits your dopamine really hard, trust me I know, but this is no different from many other games. The battle pass system and the progression inherent with them give out copious amounts of dopamine. Saying this is skyblock specific issue is naive and categorically false. TLDR: If you're addicted to skyblock and have a crappy life as a result: skill issue. All hyper successful modern games do the same thing.

Isn't this applicable for most videogames nowadays? Why put time into games right now when you can have friends and be social

bro im really addicted to sb since day 0 ngl, i even got wiped 3+ times and still create new profiles... 💀 It really ruined my life ngl, since pandemic :(

You really opened my eyes, thank you dude

Fr genuine advice quit while u still can I wish I could but gotta hit farming 50 right

This video is so good that i think i might stop playing...... HEY I DROPPED A GIANT SWORD

If you think about it hypixel skyblock is fixing short attention spans 💀💀💀
