[urgent] this site really is actually dying

[Pyca]

Just take the skelebun for a perfect example. As stated above, it goes for 10-12 Nons. That's 20kC$ at the minimum, that's 1000-2000 09 rares, that's basically someone's life savings, all in one pet.

firstly i just want to mention that i’m absolutely not trying to be rude or anything at all!! i’m just super bad at wording things T_T

anywho, this in itself is why i believe store pets should be rereleased in one way or another. someone’s entire life savings for a pixel bunny is just ridiculous and quite frankly i think it’s unfair to assume that anyone could afford that for their collection.

i honestly feel it’s a little silly that some people take the game so seriously to the point that they think this inflation is okay for the sake of keeping their value. someone pointed out that something sold on flight rising for $9k usd and nobody batted an eye, but that’s also just ridiculous. i don’t even want the store pets that badly— because again, they’re just little pixel pets and im not working for a 100% collection— but for people to say that they would quit if store pets were rereleased just seems a tad dramatic. again, im so sorry if this is coming off as blunt or unkind, i genuinely suck at wording things thru text!

i think that if store pets aren’t rereleased, they absolutely need to do something to decrease their worth whether it be remake the list entirely or something else.

i also wanna add that it’s really not that big of a loss towards the people that initially purchased them with real money while they were in the store. for example, the raven dog was worth 25 c$ while it was in the store, so while the argument that people are losing out on the real money they spent is reasonable, it would only be a tiny fraction.

I agree with everything that is said by Barbwife here. To add onto this,

I think if a rerelease was going to happen for store pets, it'd best be done in a limited sense. Only 1 or something per player. Another option that comes to mind is adding a store pet box during dec 18. One adoption per player. Done. Maybe have it be something you have to use C$ or something else on it to prevent too many RR? IDK. I just think it's really sad that newer players have basically no option to get the older store pets unless they score in the pound or I guess get lucky and have someone underpay/gift it

thank you for being so kind!! again im super sorry if i came off as rude, it wasn’t my intentions at all! i completely understand where you’re coming from and can definitely see the argument from both sides, i just wanted to share my perspective

also i know the rares list isnt made by staff, i just think that maybe the staff should remake it so there’s an official value for everything! i think it would drastically help out with some of the inflation.

you're totally fine, no worries at all! c: and gotcha, I see what you're saying about staff intervention with the 'list.' You're probably right that it would help with inflation, but I believe that's a suggestion that has been turned down in the past unfortunately.

it was mentioned somewhere on the suggestion forums that gachas/mystery boxes for c$ would be considered gambling, so that wouldn't be an option.

Oh, gotcha. I see how that makes sense.

Like I've said in the past post, I think rereleasing stores is a bad idea, I think maybe a way to earn one or raffle one off is better. it doesn't plummet the value too much but it helps users get a little more grasp on said pets.

Kinda like roundsey’s raffle on fr? That would be neat!

I personally don't think an official staff-made list of artificial values would help anything at all. If people disagree with the list they can't do anything to change the value of their super rare pets and then they're most likely not going to trade them away. And how are you gonna get pets, if none are up for trade?
It's the supply that's the problem. More re-release days (with OR without stores) would help the trading issues and keep the supply up and demand down. Maybe introducing just one more re-release day per year for CS's birthday would help?

I am also very much against daily challenges and login bonuses. I have always enjoyed the very casual nature of CS and would absolutely hate to see my beloved website change like that.

I'm not sure what that is, as I don't play FR but just some way to earn it with a small chance. I really think it would help the user base as a whole!

I really love this active suggestion about bringing back mini games from past summer events and storing them somewhere on-site that could be visited like a little game room. ^^ I don't really 100% vibe with the idea of giving out pets or items for the games, but more just having them around for idle fun, maybe competing for high scores or non-tradeables like stamps.

Yeah! More stamps sounds nice!

that’s such a good idea!! there have been a lot of little event mini games that i’ve always wanted to play again and i think having a little “arcade” would be super fun! the rewards wouldn’t have to be anything too big so that people don’t feel like they’re missing out if they choose not to play, it could just be a little casual thing that people can do when/if they want!
