While I love the new banner pup it's a little disheartening knowing i'm probably going to miss it because of how dang unlucky i am. I've never had luck this awful with banners before. Even in 2011 with the multiple growths I was fine but this year is awful. Hopefuly my luck (and everyone else's) will turn around shortly.

My memory might just be really clouded but I don't think I recall people being as mad about the banners back in 2011? I mean sure we were all wanting to get them all pretty badly, but I don't think there was this same amount of...impatience and frustration. I remember we were talking a lot more about what gender we thought they were, and how we liked their design, and even how they might all be related

This year we don't even have split outcomes and everyone is just fighting to get the one. I can't even imagine how bad it would be if there were FIVE to get

I think people overpaying so much for them has a lot to do with it. It makes them seem impossible to get for users who don't want to cough up very rares for a rare/uncommon pet and then we get frustrated and feel cheated, I think. I don't know HOW those pups started getting such overpay, but I think it's harmful to our mood TBH

It just feels like people are so desperate to get them (possibly because of the 2012 Halloween banner pets, I know that those banner pets are proving nearly impossible to get currently) that they're willing to offer their right arms and a small share of soul for just one, and of course the people trading them don't want to give up such sweet offers and who can blame them, really. It's a problem, but not one where I can see any solution but hope I get one of each just by clicking on the banners.

Do you guys think banner pets are slowly being phased out?

In 2011, we had 5 outcomes via blanket pups from the banner. In 2012, we had 4 that no longer grew. In 2013, we had a mere 2 outcomes that are also no growths. And this year, it is looking like a repeat of last year. But I see why this trend is happening.

Every year it is constant complaints over missing out on banner adopts. And while I too have argued in the steep difficulty, I also understand an easy pet isn't worth much in the long run. I actually miss the pandemonium that was 2011. But I fear we might not see much(if any) on future banners.

Do you guys think this is a good thing? There was always an element of surprise with banner adopts. It just seems to be less and less surprises lately.

I kind of agree with you.

It's kind of sad that is has to be a fight to get one. But the ratios are at odd ends, I mean if several people said they hit the limit without getting even one of those Banner Pet's I can see why people who see this get ready to pay more and more just because they fear not to get one at all.

On the other side people showing the crazy offers they got make people with spares want more and more. Deadly circle that is not limited to Halloween but to every pet that is a little rarer than the average one.



This one is so cute, yet I can't really feel the time to enjoy him because it's so hard to get him. And many of the pets that have a twist to their designs are the hard to get ones which makes it hard for me to just enjoy them if I have to fight to even get one every time.

Seeing as how many people are getting this dog it seems to try to catch up with the Husky in distribution so my guess is that it's not rarer than the other one.
