Teleport Pad Removal

This news post was originally sent in The Elite Farmers discord server.

The removal of teleport pads on the garden shows a clear intent by Hypixel Skyblock admins that they no longer want "afk" farms (where you only need to hold a couple buttons forever and nothing else). So while yes, we need "new" farm designs, don't get your hopes up about being able to go back to holding the same keys forever as any new methods will likely be nerfed.

With that being said, all farms can just be a simple back and forth horizontal or vertical stack, where you do /setspawn at the start (this preserves your angle) and fall into the void/die somehow at the end. This is an old idea, but still useful. Maybe admins will remove this ability too, but this still requires multiple rows of crops and moving your mouse or what keys you're pressing. Rows of crops laid flat that connect at the end can also be used with holding forward.

Whether you like it or not, this change is a positive one in a gameplay/economy perspective. You can yell all you want that more people will macro, but the average cheater was just using a weight on their keyboard or F11, and most of those people won't switch over to fully fledged macros. This is a positive thing for the game.
