ermehgerd I actually adore this event!!! I'm trying to do dress-ups of all the characters but I can't find the butterfly wolves in the archive and I don't think I have them. Does anyone who which ones they are (what month/event they're from, what year etc.)?

I wasn't sure if this should go here or the discussion/feedback thread, because the overpay on event pets is ridiculous, and there must be some sort of solution to it!

For those of us who have a full time job/work, and cannot sit on CS for hours every day just collecting tokens and trading and trying to swap pets, it's very, VERY frustrating. I just want one of each to complete my event collections! And, in the last week or so of the event, everyone's like 'here, have all my tokens for nothing because now they're worthless'. (Generalisation).

I know it's probably impossible, but there would be no way to control the demand would there? Some way of perhaps not completely de-valuing the pets/tokens as soon as the event is over? It would be great if the odds of getting particular pets were higher, mostly from banner pets and 'randomly mining to get a mouse'. Or perhaps shorter cooldowns on them?

On the note of cooldown, while I love the idea, the hour cooldown is a real killer. It's an hour waiting to try again, and that's presuming I even FIND a mouse. I work a full 8 hour day, most of that I can't check on the hour, so realistically, during the work week, if I want sleep (as it is I'm up at 11pm now just trying to trade for two pets I missed so I can be up to date for tomorrow), eat, and do basic household tasks, I can have a go at the mine MAYBE 4-5 times a day maximum. With a whatever in whatever chance to get one of four pets, this could take ages.

I am loving most of the pets (the horses on Day 1 are STUNNING), and the events are fun, don't get me wrong, but it's really disheartening trying to enjoy something, and complete a collection, and having it be so much like pulling teeth, just because I want to be able to pay bills and rent and put food on the table!

The whole overpay on pets happens every summer event, and I'm not sure if we would be able to stop it. The solution that I've found (since I also don't have hours to spend in search of crystals and tokens), is to really search closely in the swap thread, because there are fair people out there, as well as users who are willing to litter-swap their pets. I actually got every squirrel from the mine from some people who wanted Notker's unicorns, not from the mine itself. That hour cool down is painful, but I'm sure there are kind users willing to trade your missing outcomes with you. Also, maybe trading for pets that you need a few hours after rollover can help since the trade thread and demand have died down (I trade at night since I'm in PST and 4 pm is rollover, so demand decreases). I'm willing to help you as well if needed :3

there are some people who are still grabbing tokens as much as they could for customization purposes (hence the short-lived "crystal meme")

all you do is drop a swap request in the certain forum and wait for someone come to you
