Updates to the pound!

I'm in agreement with this. A mass donation locked behind safety measures similar to account deletion is much better than a delete pet button. It can be much more devastating for a person who gets hacked to loose 1 high value pet they might never feel right about having again if it's for example sentimental even if it's reversible then all their pets be thrown into the pound and waiting there on a cooldown so they can reverse it and get it back. If the community has been of this opinion for a significant while too it would be positively received to rid of it even if it's not replaced by anything.

Also agreed, I feel like mass donation to pound with even a month, a year of countdown would feel safe enough imo. I also don't understand what's the purpose of the Delete Pet button at all on a pet collecting website. It's so scary just having it there when all I want is to add items to a pet xD

{ just poking my head in on this specifically, it's been mentioned that the delete button is from when the site was new and you could adopt infinite numbers of pets at the time. it's an outdated feature that should've gone the way of unlimited adopts. the removal of the button is a really popular choice by the suggestion forum !! ♡

Hmm I have very little coding experience but what if only users that got a certain rarity range of pet get the long cooldown? Like if you got a VR store pet, you have to skip out on the next opening for cooldown. If you just got a common, you don’t get skipped the next opening. Some sort of programming that does a sliding timer scale based on what you got if that’s at all possible

Just wanted to point out my suggestion again. I think it got looked over in the super long comments 😅 I really think it would help a lot if it were at all possible. It feels fair to me to have to wait longer if youre getting rares from the pound. It’s the tradeoff that balances things out for people that aren’t as luck in the pound. Didn’t get anything good last time? That’s ok try again. But if you did get something really good you have to wait to give others a chance

This sounds like an absolute pain to code but is my favorite idea thus far. The cooldown for unknowns could be an issue though

So now the best won’t be at the start of the opening anymore ?

Nope. The pets are now more spread out by year per page. I got a vr on my 4th pound page the other day. It still drains quickly, but you’re not out of luck anymore if you aren’t there the first second

I have really appreciated that the pound no longer releases all of the more rare items or pets all at once. I've been able to get something of value for myself, instead of seeing 'Sprinkle Green' for the fifth day in a row. So thank you for this update!
