The main problem is we mainly know what their money making method was: Cacti, Melon and Egg Profit Shops, Block Shops and an Overpriced book shop for the first 5 Days (Like 10+ Islands are doing) before we spotted things that did not add up.

The luck required to obtain 32 IGS, 23 Creeper, and 17 Magma from Crates are astronomically low. Also to mention that we've only seen them buy crate keys on 3 Separate Occasions (None of which are big amounts like 30+ Keys). Although the strange part the most likely method of them getting their Spawners were Crate Keys.

Not to mention: A solo player grinding Cows nonstop can only make $1,15mil Per Hour AT MOST. So assuming they'd grinded all of those spawners and bought all their spawners for 2/3 of the original price. It'd taken that one player about 9 DAYS OF NONSTOP GRINDING to get all of those spawners listed (400+ Cow, 23 Creeper, 32 IGS, etc.) Yes they all have teammates but if they all grinded for all those spawners it'd still taken them about 25 Hours Per Player to get the money required to buy all of them (Assuming they next to never did IRLs, which are only worth about 100k per USD, or 5 Minutes per USD)

EDIT 1:

Good point, some of my "Tryhard" friends, for example Erik has been playing all this time about 8+ Hours a Day and keeps a close eye on /baltop and /is top, He also has never noticed any significant change in balance over the span of ALL OF HIS TEAMMATES. Which is severely odd.

This is is just he-said she-said, unless you have people monitoring their island 24/7, with an acutal graph on their gathered wealth and playtime, then this is still just a hit in the dark. You would need to have a literal record of at least a few days, to account for playtime, balance, island levels, and any activities they carry out in-game, trades, sales, items they've purchased, vote crates, purchases etc., and like I mentioned earlier, there could be players cooped helping or giving their daily rewards to them. There are hardcore grinders and it seems pretty to say it's duping.

But, again, like I said before, if they're duping I'm sure our attentive and caring staff will handle it swiftly!
 
whats even more suspicious is that ZLKN was only a survival player and never played Invaded Skyblock before this.
i understand a skyblock tryhard and pro being this good but someone who just joined days ago? h m m

and also, nathan (zlkn's temmate) has been caught scamming people, so i wouldnt be surprised if they duped as well.

Are you trying to say that they got 300Mill + worth of items through daily rewards and grinding?
 
There's 5 people working on their island iirc, and there's only ever 2 on at a time, max, from what I've seen. Meaning that they should only be earning about 1.5x the amount of a normal player (solo). Even if you're pay to win, you wouldn't be that far ahead.

It does seem interesting and management should definitely take a look into this.

We are giving explanations to those who are going about it the mature way.

@Decay I'm gonna request a lock here to prevent this turning into a heated debate.
 
ok so this is kind of important so I'm posting a thread about this. ZLKN's island has accumulated a ton of stuff, and they don't seem to be giving any explanations. I'm making this post not to cause drama but to make this problem aware to management because I've been told they are aware of it but hearing it from the players might help.
32 IGS
400 (there's more but I rounded down) Cows
17 Magma (Only obtainable from crates)
23 Creeper
4 Zombie Pigman
As well as this they have villagers, skeletons, zombies, blazes, rabbits, etc.
To start, at the time of counting his spawners the baltop was at 225 million. Meaning the whole entire server had got that much.
32 IGS: These sell for 5million each, but they are also obtainable in legendary crates. So these have a value of around 160 Million.
400+ Cows:
These can be bought from shop and cost 350,000 each. They can also be won in the common crate. So these have a value of around 140+ Million.
17 Magma:
These can only be obtained from the uncommon crate, so it is incredibly rare for them to obtain seventeen of these. They would have to buy hundreds of crates to get this amount unless they managed to have the near impossible luck to obtain a magma every time they opened an uncommon crate.
23 Creeper: These can be obtained from shop or won from uncommon crates. They cost 1.8million in shop so these are valued at around 41.4million.
4 Zombie Pigman:
These can only be bought from shop for 4million each so they are valued at around 12million.
Just these spawners are valued at upwards of 350 million, which is over 100million more than the whole entire server has.
To add on ZLKN has been selling both chickens and rabbits on /ah. He's sold at least 5 of each so that's valued above 1million.
Even if this was legit they'd be poor correct? Yeah, no. They have done multiple irl deals for ranks in the past few days and ZLKN is baltop spot 1 with 35million, followed by his teammates at spots 3 and 4 with a total of around 10 million.
Here is some proof incase you dont believe me.
IGS:
Cows etc:
Here was the current is top and baltop, you can match the island level on my scoreboard in the first 2 videos to the is top in this video.
To add on, as soon as they were being called out, they randomly begun buying cow spawners, which I personally had not see them do before hand.

The team's most common "comeback" is to say that maybe we aren't as good as we think we are and we don't know how to play the game. I've personally (not trying to sound cocky) been on is top 2 at the end of season 4, was on underdawgs till it became inactive (is top 1 of season 5) and then managed to get around 450k island levels solo. I also did around over 100usd+ in irl deals which isn't a lot compared to some but it still is a decently high amount. So I'd say I'm pretty decent at the game, I've been on practically all day since the reset and my island team of 4 people have a value of only around 20 million. in items. If we had a full team (of 20) I'd assume we'd have around 100 million worth give or take.
Also, when I've said their spawner amount in chat or brought up anything about their island spawners they immediately banned me. (been island banned on multiple accounts, shame)

I guarantee once I post this I'll receive an island ban on my main account.
I'm aware higher ups are aware of this issue but please if you read this, think of the normal playerbase, the rest of us, the rest of us who are playing legit. Please take more effort into looking into this, it is extremely tiring to grind all day only to be stuck behind them. Even if they have stopped duping which they likely have because they know people are onto them, they still have a huge advantage and it is obviously not legit.
to add on, I know there are gonna be dupe glitches, its bound to happen just wanted to bring more attention to this k bye
cheating !

well everything u told me a few days ago in the disc sounds fair but kinda bullshit if u think about it
 
iik zlkn he wouldnt do anything like this. he wouldnt get a whole team to just get them all banned right???
seriously idk what to say about this cuz zlkn is my friend on survival :/ just hope its sorted out but its extremely fishy.

om g zlkn is ur friend on sruvival?!!!!! hes famous ssurv eboy he must be protcetcft at al costs uwu simp for zlnk
 
Yes that's what I thought and now know... I'm friends with some of the members, and I know they have really a lot. Zlkn is rly powerful and with his team, he will (and has) taken over surv and sb. I'm ok with this stuff, but I feel like it will overtake the entire SB and surv server. I'm ok with them being baltop and stuff, but I think maybe they will really make playing less fun, and I think lots of ppl will leave because of them/this. Not to hate on that, a team is a great Idea but zlkn really uses the members as slaves and they play alot. All I want is to play without being bothered by that, and I'm not sure if that will be possible. Ty if you read this
 
Hi, the server and us appreciate you and your team being vigilant to protect the server. Game breaking cheats would ruin the server and IRL economy for us.

I have talked to staff thoroughly, and would like to address a few of these topics you brought up.

First of all, we are not duping. I can understand how you see the entire economy value and look at our wealth and say it’s not possible. It is definitely possible.

As for the Iron Golems & the magma creams, our team has purchased a large amount of crate keys. Common, uncommon and legendary. No, we’re not proud of being a Pay2Win team, but we’re not embarrassed for this either. I would predict that our team has opened anywhere from 100-150 Legend Keys alone. Did we get all 32+ Iron Golems from these keys? No, we bought some too. While everyone else was fighting for island top, we were buying them off auction, and doing IRL deals for spawners that were otherwise unobtainable from the crates. Also, we got about 6 Villager Spawners from crate keys early on as well, and traded these for 2 Iron Golems + Rabbit/Chicken per iron golem. We likely had about 70Mil of Spawners by Day 2.

Also, we had 16 team members that grinded hard on the cobble gens to earn us money in the first 5 days. These members were very valuable, but we ended up kicking about half after they were too comfortable with our wealth to grind anymore. We appreciate their efforts, and will help them get started on their own, but it had to be done.

As for the cow spawners, we found out from some of the top players that they were so good. We ended up selling every single chicken & rabbit spawner we had saved up. We ended up having about 64 cows soon after.

As for how we make money, I guess I could shed some light on that. Many of you think my shop is expensive, and I will agree that it is more expensive than others. But, it was one of the first shops. My supply was in huge demand. The shop makes about 3Mil per day on its own with everything it has to offer. Whenever I am on, I am always grinding cow spawners. A 15K cow makes you about $130K, so having almost 8 stacks makes you a LOT. Especially when all of your members grind constantly and always spend their money on spawners.

As for the zombie pigman, we bought 2 for 2.5Mil from 1 player, and 2 from /shop for 4Mil each. They aren’t as good as we have hoped they would be, so we will only be buying them for much cheaper from others in the future.

As for the magma cubes, we got about 5 from crates, and bought 12 from a single player that sold them all to us for 1mil.

As for the creepers, I believe they were all obtained from crates or /reclaims from our team.

As for the rabbit and Chicken, we sold the rabbits because we found out the half raw rabbit glitch wasn’t a glitch, and that it was a waste of time to grind them. The chicken we AFKed to make a profit shop out of 75,000 chickens. Then, we realized they dropped 90% less eggs than last season, and that their drops sold for less, so we removed them as well.

Well, how do we have 400+ cow spawners?
We have been buying them over and over and over. We did some IRL deals for other players that had spawners into the deals/money. We also did IRL deals for cow spawners themselves. But for the mast majority, they’re from our team grinding. 1 player has been selling cows for 100k each for a week now. We have been buying repeatedly. Staff are aware of this player who is not on our island. If they are duping, I would hope staff will find out. But for now, we will keep buying. 5mins of cow killing = 1 spawner. We will keep buying them for anywhere from 100-350k until we get to a full 16 stacks.

As for our money going up and down, I can assure you that it does. Especially my balance. I spend likely 5-10mil per day that I play a full day. I don’t allow myself to logout until my balance recovers. I have gotten to a peak of 40.7Mil. It went down about 3mil to buy grass and packed ice alone.

As for the IRL deals and such... We have done a fair share in both directions. We do IRL deals for others when they are hugely profitable for us (the other player overpaying), and we do IRL deals to rankup ourselves when we are underpaying/market price paying. (Hugely in our favor)

I know we might seem like nons to the seasoned skyblock guys, but we have been running the survival server much in the same way. We encourage the competition, and just want to do things like we usually do. I have the largest public farm on survival with 7 Billion worth of spawners, and Nathan has 2Billion sitting on baltop #1. I have led the most in game deals on survival, totaling over $2000USD, so we are very proud of that. We took the best survival players we could find to make a dream team.

Also, I am aware that many think my island member scammed someone and I have seen the evidence on both sides. I can’t come to a final conclusion with undeniable proof, so I haven’t taken action against this member. Our team knows that this is not the way be do business, and that is not the way to gain the respect of the community. So if you see anyone on my team attempting something like this please bring it up to me.

We’re sorry if we came off as toxic, but we are just giving what we are receiving as we are not used to this type of thing on survival where we are frankly elite players.

Also, a lot of you mentioned being banned from our island. There is a method behind this. We hid our island from the top 10 /is top teams by banning them so they couldn’t see what we were doing to make so much money. It’s not personal, but we didn’t want people to see how OP Cow spawners are compared to the others, or how we are making music disks with mobs not always being hostile. But since everything is out in the open, we have no issues removing every player from our ban list.

Currently, our island is under major renovations. We are removing every single thing besides our egg, cactus, and melon farms. We are making a very large 200x200 terraformed Area with a large castle in the middle with the shops being much larger, as well as a more organized public grinder with room for expansion. The shop will be back soon, and our island will be fully available to the public at that time.

If you ever need to reach me or want to ask any other questions, you’re welcome to contact me at ZLKN#5524 on discord. I look forward to getting to know you all better.

Cheers,
ZLKN
