Cause I sure don't.
i'd agree but honestly if it was happening often enough, nobody would be able to get away with trying to demand overpay for the monthly rare they managed to snag
there would be so many that we'd probably see people asking to swap for last month's, instead of trying to get old rares for theirs
the problem right now is that it only happens every once in a while- which gives them the same amount of hype that banner pets get
so, more of them should fix the problem. people would feel silly trying to auction their rare monthly outcome if they're no longer a novelty & everyone has at least one from at least one of the months
I don't think this would be true at all. Having a spare to swap for someone else's spare outcome in the future would be incredibly uncommon in the first place, and would only help you out once because you'd be bound to miss entirely more often than have dupes. So almost everyone would have to trade “out of pocket”, which is quickly unfeasible (especially for newer/more casual players that don't have folders stuffed with fodder).
Things of the proposed rarity have gone, and continue to go, for EXTREME overpay almost exclusively. Doing all this event trading, I've come across SO MANY people who are still looking for the golden gotcha dog. I mean, look at
this bid for a Golden Gatcha dog that was from an auction literally
this month.
Does this level of desperation/frustration seem healthy? Is it something
you want to have resort to? Because you WILL have to at some point. And you WILL be on the side
paying way more times than the side selling.
I understand that people want “chase” pets. My problem is that they already have those- old pets, events, banners, hordes, dreamies, etc. The “collectors” primarily rely upon monthlies, and use a “chase” playstyle if they want to complete older sets. I just don't think it would be healthy for the largely more casual player base to destroy the one casual aspect available to them. I can throw out old and expensive pets to speed run monthlies, but I don't want to, especially when that feeds the “demand monster” that makes being a new player hard.
