Provide more ways to spend c$

[JustDucky]

I almost feel like the C$ inflation would be worse if we had more to spend it on because it would be harder to get for people who can't afford it IRL. The people who have C$ stores wouldn't get as much business due to people having other (better?) places to spend C$, and for the people who can't afford it IRL.

And I feel like not having enough ways to EARN C$ is causing inflation. Not that it is a bad thing to support the site, but we could watch ads, which generate income for the site, and other things. Just an idea.

I agree with this. As someone who doesn't have a ton of valuable pets, looking at options to buy list pets are overwhelming. People are selling nons for 1k C$ which is over $150 CDN. I don't think that any pet on this site has that much value.

i support this 100%. as someone who can't put money into this game, i often have to trade so much for huge amounts of c$ to buy minimal things.
i remember t7s used to go for 80-100 c$ and now they're going for 250-300 c$ which is just ridiculous. paying so much also makes it harder to progress and stay interested in CS :c

there should be c$ games you can play and earn special pets or something.

I really like this idea! Plus the bi-monthly items in the c$ store just like the store pets. However, I would prefer if the store items and pets would be separate purchases.

I am confused on how inflation would be worse if we had ways to spend it since inflation is when there is higher pricing due to lack of value in a currency. Having more ways to spend it would increase the value and therefore should lower ridiculous costs that we currently see. It would also create more demand for c$ since people would now want it instead of struggling to get rid of it for a fair price. The only way it would possibly “harm” c$ stores is if the store is of high value pets with very high prices. But this wouldn’t in my opinion truly harm as it would just correct overpricing.
If there were more ways to earn c$ that would put a lot more into the system which would cause inflation. More of it, less need of it, the lower the value, the higher the pricing.

Eh I’d have to disagree. The whole reason we have inflation is because there’s too much c$ and not enough to spend it on. What you suggest would just add to the inflation because it would create more c$, not actually take c$ away. There’s users sitting on 5k, 15k, 30k, even 100kc$. And it just circulates around and around, never getting spent in the store to go away thus causing inflation.

I agree if there were to be store items I’d prefer it’s separate from the pets.

And c$ games sounds interesting, except I could see it turning into sort of a gambling/gatcha type thing. I’m not sure how well that would go over? Or if I’m misunderstanding.
I guess it would then depend on how the c$ game goes, or if it’s kind of a more storyline way to buy store pets?

i agree that any "games" with c$ would be like gambling/gacha and im not sure if thats the kind of thing cs is for... and it would leave a big chunk of people out who cant buy c$. i agree more special pets + items to spend it on tho...

Promise this isn't off topic but does anyone play marapets? They have games and you get money (not money you buy with real money that's separate), and items etc by playing those games and I just think that would be cool.

I support this as well, I’ve noticed that normally, only super popular store pets (such as the griffins from 2017 or the cheetahs from 2016) would turn out to be rare instead of very rare, but now we haven’t gotten a VR store pet since the avian zebras from last year. It both lessens the desirability of buying these pets for C$ as well as buying C$ in general, which makes me fear for the site’s future if things continue like this.

I agree. I joined in 2019, but I have a hard time even obtaining C$, unless I purchase them myself. I'm trying to collect every bat, bunny/rabbit and store pets! I'm making progress, but I've had to overpay big time even if the pet(s) weren't "ex" list pets, on top of that there is never any new items in the C$. I understand that CS is more leaned towards pets than items, but.... maybe like once or twice a year, CS could put past store pets in the C$ shop, as its extremely hard to find most old pets from like 2008-2010 even after 2010 it can be hard to find pets.
