Provide more ways to spend c$

[Guest]

I'd suggest other items to spend it on such as an item which displays a PPS version, just as one had suggested.

I apologize if this has already been suggested as I didn't read through the other posts, but I think a lottery of some sort would be fairly interesting. As well as donating C$ to the pound perhaps. If you want to be a little on the different side, you could use C$ to purchase more aesthetic features such as custom templates for your profile to appear on forums, much like Flight Rising.

Support, I'd love to see some new store items or even maybe more frequent store pets. you could still have the pets available for the same amount of time but just introduce them more, or even have a 'permanent' pet store where you can buy exclusive pets from the store as you would the store items(probably wouldn't be rare, but it's still a good c$ sink)

The PPS item suggestion unfortunately is an officially declined suggestion that you can find on the list here

I am curious about your donating to pound idea. How would you suggest staff then give out the c$? I have never heard of an idea like this and am genuinely curious about your thoughts on it.

As for a lottery, like a few of the other ideas this would be gambling which staff has stated that they won’t ever do due to this being a kids site.

perhaps c$ can be used to unlock extra site features? I feel like cs is lacking when it comes to things to do outside the forum. Like COPPA members cant really participate in half of the site

I support, although I don't have c$. I'm planning on buying some eventually, and it makes sense to have more spending options.

I don't intend a gambling kind of lottery. I would say you put in a certain amount of c$, the more you put the bigger your chance. The prize would be a rare pet. I don't know if it could turn into a type of gamble per se. If that's a gamble, you could probably put in a set amount of c$ (like 50 per entry for example) and a random user will be picked to win.

I'm not quite sure how to give out the c$ anyway, it might be, when it's open, you click a button on it and it gives you a random amount of c$ between 1-some other number. It may be a little to OP at that point however.

until only very few players who have accumulated massive amounts of c$ will be able to afford things.... there will be no point to any of it

Definitely support this! ppl have some great suggestions abt how to get it out of the economy, but I wanted to maybe propose (?) that "successful C$ trades" threads and the "C$ buy and sell" thread are worsening inflation--esp. the latter, bc the highest offer on that thread (and some offer to overpay a lot) becomes "popular value" even if stated as overpay, since people think "x will pay y amount so I'd rather sell to them."

a bit of a confession lmao but I've been exploiting this recently--because C$ values don't add like pets do, I've bought things for cheaper than I would've by pet trading. got (rightfully haha) scolded for trying to trade lists with their C$ value: offered something that was worth ~1200 C$ if liquidated first--like a non--but in pets only a few MAs. So... I liquidated them! "paper-clipped" my 5MAs to a UR cat by buying and selling haha

ppl are extremely willing to pay C$ for lists since they age profitably while C$ faces inflation; I think there's an understanding that a person selling lists expects overpay (will not disclose how much I upsold bc that'll inflate C$ more lmao, but not that much I promise bc I know it's bad for everyone ((': )

buying lists with C$ is tougher bc of this, but tbh it doesn't even matter b/c the amount I overpayed was profit from the sales so... would agree that in regular trading there's pretty much already "no point to any of it"

though I 100% support new store options idk how much C$ it'll take out of the economy, bc many alr have insane amounts of C$ :') tbh I think the C$ economy has to be overall rebalanced to slow down inflation, but as someone who hasn't been on in 2 yrs I don't feel familiar enough w/ how it's going now to suggest constructive solutions--esp after the list was discontinued, the value of everything is allowed to grow as much as people want, but am 100% doubtful that a new list will happen lol

if you had thoughts would be happy to discuss this in pm! and thanks for coming to my ted talk on business practices lol, sorry abt the length

I actually resonate with this point, I think it's very valid, particularly regarding the inflation of c$ due to what people are willing - or not - to pay.
however, I do agree that c$ needs to go into a new avenue - but I have no suggestions for that, unfortunately ;;

I strongly support the idea that we need more ways to spend c$! I really love the ideas about both limited monthly store items and seasonal store items. I disagree with re-releasing old store pets and also with introducing gambling mechanics (paying c$ to open boxes or enter raffles.)

I really liked this suggestion:

I would love the idea of buying stamps, site themes, and other customisable profile things with C$

[qwertyuiop123]

However, another suggestion I have would be to sell site themes to change the appearance of the forums? Or various features could also be sold.

I would love the idea of buying stamps, site themes, and other customisable profile things with C$

Just to add on to my previous suggestion and Vertu's, other ideas could include any of the quality of life features suggested in this forum. For example, an "adopt all" button, view all pets in the archive that you don't own, changing the default page size of pet groups to X, sort pets by rarity/names/original release date/anything else, etc.

At the very least, it would encourage C$ to be spent/traded, and these features shouldn't have any effect on the pet economy of the site (as opposed to other suggestions such as allowing users to buy a Dec 18-style box with C$, etc.).
