I think it’s fair to ask for an older pet for a newer pet that is in “demand” because how else are we supposed to get it?
this might have to do with how hard it might seem to get into the game for new players... i mean, joining into a community 15 years after its formation, starting with nothing but the general monthlies literally everyone else is getting and maybe event pets if you're lucky to join during an event... it's not very promising. you have to visit a bunch of player pounds to stock up on pets, and not everyone has the time or energy to do that. i think it's a great way to get started with familiarizing yourself with trading and interacting with the community, but to new players it might not seem appealing to be constantly running through the same cycle of
bump. *password*. trade cancelled due to pet being moved or deleted. resend. trade cancelled. resend. trade goes to rot because player quit the game. over and over again. i was patient enough to do it, and lucky enough to come across a quitting player with no limit on the number of pets you could take... but that's not the reality for a lot of players.
long story short, if you're not into art/oekaki or roleplaying or forum games, there's really just trading left. and trading is hard to do when you have a couple dozen pets and everyone else has hundreds or thousands.
