I used to play when payouts were given and yes, it was filled with tryhards instead. This was the season prior to me getting to #2 is top where Invaded no longer gave out payouts (It was sad knowing I could have tons of dollars in my account but oh well). As someone who did go through this, yes, it is a good idea. I'm not sure it would be good to give out $100, maybe a little less if some people are concerned about Invaded not earning enough (although tons of people buy ranks each day!).
PROS
-Would make people buy ranks and keys and take this game seriously
-People will get rewarded for spending their time on this server
-Top islands can buy other people ranks (If they want, of course. This totally depends on them)
-Would attract a larger crowd to play Skyblock
CONS
-Would make Skyblock extremely competitive
-Would indirectly make the server a lot laggier
-Scams would be a lot more common
-Everything would be a lot more expensive
-Invokes a toxic atmosphere within the community
-People would hesitate to help other fellow Skyblock players
-Would make the server way more PAY TO WIN (It already is, but I hope you understand what I mean)
I mean you could weigh it out. There are tons of pros and cons to this but in the end, it's the decision of staff.
