Pet trades are extremely subjective to the two parties participating in the trade- I get the frustration but if someone doesn't accept your trade offer I feel like its a bit wild to accuse them of being a scalper or being greedy.
this! i cannot be bothered to read back so i'm not really going to bother with all that; but one thing i do want to say is i saw some people say newer users should have more of a likelihood of getting these and, if you ask me i think that is counter-intuitive. you increase the amount of non-dec 18th double accounting and i don't really think the staff would wanna deal with that, lmao. /lh as long as everybody has an equal shot, i'm perfectly okay with being lucky or unlucky with it.
i just want new pets to trade for. and the being greedy accusation is funny, because honestly, i often overpay for hoards or event pets. n sometimes i still get hit with a cancel. for varying reasons, like some users simply preferring swaps. so it really depends, some people may or may not even value them the same as somebody else. i overvalue some things by a popular standpoint sometimes because it's something i plan to keep in a hoard or collection group. so it's like, whatever? additionally, i would feel a bit cheated by rate-uping new users. because as far as i know, it's always been an equal shot for all?? i think that's a nice part of the site..
i do recall seeing some complain about this because they are "casual collectors" and it means they won't get everything anymore. which, as far as i know, being a casual collector would simply accept some things aren't obtainable as easily..? no hate, just something to be said. and i personally
doubt they'd bother releasing the next zebra-rarity pets in monthlies. i can't picture anything above VR, maybe ER if we get crazy with it, haha.
i also advocate for another dec-18th like release, though i'm not sure how plausible that is.. it could potentially drive a lot of rarity down which ehh.. another counter-intuitive move. i wouldn't mind one more date like dec 18th, but anything more could be a bad thing..? though, with how the current trading landscape is.. maybe we
need some excess of higher demand pets to hopefully drive it down a bit. (staring at pets like the BA here)

I end up deleting a lot of them because, in my opinion, clogging up the pound with hundreds of my pets a year (that no one wants) doesn't help either.
I am approaching this from the viewpoint of someone who has no desire to "catch em all" and only trades for specific pets I want.
-snip-
and exactly this, it's difficult to get people to accept anything besides uncommon+ it feels like..
so more ext uncommon/rare/vr etc monthlies would be really nice to see.
i am consistently inactive, i come and go as i please for monthly adopts and events. i rarely respond to trades unless im looking for something.
