    What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:
    Website & Forums
    Short title for your suggestion:
    EcoLegend Prestige Bypass
    What are you suggesting:
    Add an application under Builders+ that allows you to obtain the EcoLegend prestige for 9.3m (approximately the amount required to go from builder to ecolegend.) This would leave your rank as it is, would always cost 9.3m no matter what your rank is, and *will not* give you another prestige if you were to then obtain the EcoLegend rank at a later time.
    Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:
    All the other prestiges that you apply for are in the Builders+ section, this one should have a similar option.
    Other information:

    Plugin or custom addition:

    One suggestion per form:
    I Understand.

    The whole point of this prestige is that you have to work your way through the ranks to get to it, if we remove that aspect it becomes a pointless prestige.

    The other prestige applications are in Builder+ as you don’t need to be a specific rank to get them.

    I'm not seeing a difference between "working your way through ranks" and just paying the lump sum of what it would cost to get all those ranks aside from posting several applications vs one application.

    "This would leave your rank as it is, would always cost 9.3m no matter what your rank is, and *will not* give you another prestige if you were to then obtain the EcoLegend rank at a later time."


    The point of Eco legend prestige is getting the rank...

    I don't mind this suggestion and I will +1 it. While two previous responses say that this would make the prestige useless because you're supposed to "go through the ranks".. eh maybe. But what's the difference in paying the lump sum amount for EcoLegend or paying the lump sum of 10mil for someone to do your entire skyblock prestige, not much.

    I can think of many people on the server who would prefer to keep their builder rank, and I'm sure BBQ is suggesting this because he looks damn good in that mayor green somehow. I don't mind people being able to buy the prestige when that's what people do with every other prestige anyway.

    In my mind the big difference is ECC (to me) has always been about the main economy server. The ranks, the towns, and so on. Skyblock is a secondary server, which is why I think it’s fine for people to pay ECD for it.

    If people don’t want to upgrade their rank to EcoLegend then sorry, but tough cookies. The prestige is for “winning” ECC, and winning ECC is progressing through the ranks, making the towns, claiming towns and having the prestigious EcoLegend tag - not paying 10 million ECD to just get it. It takes all the fun away.

    I’m glad this is one of the last remaining prestige’s you have to actually do a bit of work for in terms of apps and such.

    I’m no good at SG, but I don’t expect that prestige to be able to be bought simply because I’m not good at it, likewise just because people don’t want to rank up, shouldn’t mean they can just buy the prestige. Leave the EcoLegend prestige as it is.
