Isn't that already a feature though?


It is a feature. The pound opens at different times so that everyone with a different time zone or area can get a pet.


but its not a specific time.

If it were a set time, then some time zones would never be able to get a pet from the pound, and then that'd be even more unfair.

that's not what I meant, have it at specific times that would benefit all time zones

Getting a cool pet I think looks cool, even if it is not rare > Getting a random choice I may hate


well said

even though this might help some users, people in different time zones may not be able to get to it in time, and writing down in advance when it opens according to your time zone is too much of a hassle. also, the pound actually does say in advance when it will open, at least within one hour of the opening time. you just have to regularly check in on the pound a few times every time you visit CS

and honestly, who cares if you get a good or 'bad' pet, they all have work put into them and are all free c:

Same here, I like how it is, please don't come at me too for not supporting ;w;

it's a cool idea but I enjoy how the pound is now. Even if you can't get a rare+ pet, you can still have a choice what to pick. It helps too, that way if all else fails, the pound pet can be used for trading. That's what I do ^^ I prefer being able to pick a pet rather than RNG do it for me.

Edit: It would be great to have the pound scatter rares throughout the opening, instead of the rare+ being upfront, to have others a chance but still keep the same system in a way by letting people chose what they want

Would support a change! I have the pound bot, and use it regularly, and still it doesn't help because either the page doesn't load quickly, or someone grabs the rare before me. Happens constantly! And I'm sure it happens to others.

I probably wouldn't support a totally randomized version, but yeah mixing around the pets and getting rid of the dates would probably help, because again, people use scripts to grab the oldest pets now. (Not myself because I don't support that, but I know people who have used them.)

Also like some others have stated, having the timer is frustrating too, because I know PLENTY of members who will be offline for ages, and log on to claim at the pound and do nothing else.

(had a few who I had trades rotting with them, and they would hop on at pound time and grab pets) It's super frustrating!

Also not to be rude to anyone, but notice how mostly older players are saying not to change it, and newbies are saying to change it. Definitely speaks volumes! Newbies aren't getting the help they need from the Pound, and it shows.

Hopefully I don't seem rude by any means, I just wanted to give my opinion

the pound isn't solely for getting rares, there are plenty of cool VC and commons that I love getting. No support, this just makes it harder to get a pet you want regardless of rarity
I do art commissions!

Here's my Sta.sh https://sta.sh/229gtdm98m3y?edit=1! I'll only do full bodies for $usd or C$. Fulls are $20 usd, or 100c$. We will have to discuss USD commissions over discord or instagram- as long as none of your personal information is available on either platform.

I love Breyer horses :) Not related to art but I love them! If you have any you want to show off then feel free to show me!!

I don't get by pound script, what does it do? :0 does it show rarities or automatically grabs a pet for you? (just a question!)
