I am a donator. Let me make that clear, so I don’t seem biased or anything. I donate SPECIFICALLY for the ability to adopt store pets, not to buy items or trade or anything else.

I am very much in favor of this. As of this moment, I own 46 store pets, and have owned many, many more. I buy and occasionally sell them as I can. The original set that got me to consider even buying C$ was the 2014 dragon cats, I think. But oh man, would I have murdered for the androids, looking back on it now.

Since starting to donate, I have promptly learned to lock the folder I keep store pets in, simply because new players don’t understand the value of those pets. I’ve been asked about them over and over (favorites being the gryphon PPS, 2017 bunny dogs, 2017 Fox PPS, 2016 tigers and cheetahs, and of course my 2016 alicorn PPS). I’d really appreciate the tag being right there on the page, explaining that those pets have a high value. The folder name “store-nft <3” just really doesn’t cut it, nor does the lock (and it’s not even friends or wishlist, it’s a full lock, you know?).

Honestly, I see my store pets as my way of donating to the site to keep it up and running for another ten years. I keep the pets like a badge, almost, showing I help with that.

It is honestly fair that they are never rereleased since they are literally a badge of donatorship.

I am all for a separate “store pet archive” to help others realize those pets aren’t a collection item. (Same story with items that were released in contests, really.)
I am all for a store pet tag and an explanation on their pages. I think it would really make a difference, especially since those pets are not the same.
Lastly, FULL SUPPORT to adding a “store pet” text to store pets. Let me tell you, the Storgis (store corgis, don’t see that name used much anymore?) look identical to me to another pet set, and the baboon pups from a few years ago look exactly like stores to me, so I would find that very useful in telling apart the rare from the... uncommon.
