Artificial Rarity Change - Project

[Zoiye3]

OMGSC is hard to get, because everyone is hoarding them. I struggled to find even one of those ponies.

Ikr! And people always expect overpay since it's older

People also hoard them to prevent people delete them
Other omgsc pets are easier to find

I recently came across someone who had over 1000 of them to 'save' them from deletion

Here are a few from my 1000+ strong sanctuary. Please respect that not everyone wants to delete them and see them go to waste.

They are in no way going to waste. You're just possibly making it take longer until the rarity changes and we stop deleting them. Then once it does you have 1000+ very common pets that are even more worthless then the slightly in demand pony

With one or two people trying to hoard them with a bunch of others consistently deleting them, the hoarding wont make much of a difference. Just continue on with your project. Wouldn't start an argument cause that may cause the thread to be shut down completely. Ignore it & move on.

This is an interesting idea, I've thought about it but never seen it done. I'll try to get and delete some.

People don't realize you would need to delete tens of thousands to make a dent. And it needs a point of reference. Like if all of the litter is about equal rarity (like a staff pet which have a mandatory equal rarity setting), you pick one and delete it til it changes.

Also it is impossible to delete a pet completely from CS. Not only from people collecting/ hoarding, but people trying to hop on the rarity boost aspect to get ahead. Deleting pets is also not really insulting since it just makes the pet more rare and in demand. Imagine if Shima Longtails were mass deleted to VR status. They would trade for Skelebuns and Sun Jewels! It would be insane! But impossible due to greed and sympathy.

Its easier to build huge groups of players to make a pet more common via token trade ins. But you would need a large chunk of CS willing to do it.
