When do we think the avocado will grow again? It has been a while

I think that's it's final stage

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think it still has at least one more stage to go, since it hasn’t shown up in the Archives yet : P

The pet also says still growing!

I was looking for some advice. I was in an auction for a dec 18 risk pet, knowing of course to keep a close eye on its growths. At about 11:30pm my time the pet grew (and was now not the list pet we all hoped for). I cancelled my offers and left. I then noticed at 12:10 am my time the owner had accepted someone’s trade from the auction...

I know we all go into these knowing there is a risk but it seems really wrong to me that the auctioneer waited this whole time (5 days for me) not accepting anything but accepts right after they saw it grow into a non (specific list pet name here)... I get having risk by offering on a blanket pet, but is it fair for someone to finish the trade after the growth is proven wrong?

Hope that makes sense and hopefully I am not upsetting anyone by asking, I just wonder if someone just got scammed and if I should be report it? Or is this just the risk we all take when taking part in a risk based auction? I am not even sure that the new owner knows they got it after it grew... or do I just leave it be and let the new owner handle it...

I think I know who you're talking about, luckily I cancelled my trade but yeah, unfortunately I don't think they can do anything about it, since at the time, they were happy with sending the trade. It wouldn't fall under scamming since they never said that it's 100% a joker. It would fall under ninja trading. At best, the person could ask CS staff for a trade back, since the auctioneer literally waited until it was not a joker to accept the trade. I doubt they could do anything though since it falls under: "You were happy at sending the trade at the time" etc

Also: congrats on all the new unickorn and joker owners!
And oml @constellation. I was stalking your growing pets and Woah you may not have card pup luck but you def have Nick egg luck XD congrats

I think it might potentially be worth reporting because for risk pet auctions, people intentionally overpay because they want to have a chance at the risk. Waiting for the actual outcome to be known is a little tricky, so it might be worth asking to review (for the card pup example, everyone is paying a september list to have a chance at a joker, not for a vr '08 pet. It's worth a shot at least.

And thank you haha! (: I had the exact same luck thus far 2 years ago, with no lucky card pups or RBM foals (RBM foal luck still TBD this year!) and 2/4 Nick eggs becoming U-Nick-orns. I think I just have a U-Nick-Orn aura about me or something haha. Watching for that 3rd hatch tomorrow, I'm not hoping for anything but it would be absolutely insane if it also was a U-Nick-orn.

It's pretty gross that they waited for the outcome to grow before accepting, I don't know if CS staff will do anything but I really hope they do. This isn't a "you knew what you were getting into" deal because they didn't take the pup in blanket stage, if you demand a trade back then that's your bad luck. But to wait for the pup to become a very rare just to take the bid then? That's nasty and if CS staff don't do something I'm seriously questioning the moral stability here. Yeah you should keep an eye on these things and cancel when you know you're in for a bad trade, but the owner knew what the outcome was when they accepted the bid, whereas the bidder didn't. It's just not right at all.

I'm not sure where this stands with CS rules but I think it's awful someone would do that. Fair enough if the person had accepted the trade before the growth and it turned into the lower valued outcome but to wait until it grew to accept knowing the people only offered that much for the chance of the higher valued pet is wrong morally even if not actually against rules.

Amazingly my possible RBM is still in the running, really thought it would drop out today

it really is super wrong. luckily all my card pup offers were cancelled by considerate people who understood that it grew and didn’t accept knowing it was wrong. but seriously, those inconsiderate people accepting the trades by waiting until it didn’t grow into a joker is wrong. like having auctions in the first place for card pups is kind of stupid, because the whole fun of having a risk pet is having it from the blanket on.. and the auction usually doesn’t end until it’s full grown.

my girl is still in the running too!!! it’s my first year getting to watch a baby rbm foal grow <333



best of luck to you!
