complaining that getting an omgsr is hard is just... of course it is? there's a reason it's the highest rarity in a game of over 15k unique pets?
First off no one HAS to trade their pets for anything, that’s the whole point, peoples own personal preferences should be able to play a part. No one is forcing owners to trade their pets for lower values, they’re just saying they don’t believe it should be encouraged by the community for that much to be seen as the only fair way to trade. If owners don’t want to trade their pets for the values the trading community decides they’re willing to pay just don’t trade them. No one can force you, just as no one should be forcing their preferences on others.
No personally I would not accept any of those trades as I fully expect many of the new OMGSRs to drop after the next Dec18 rerelease as pets on the cusp traditionally do. However if they were to remain OMGSR I wouldn’t expect 4-6 of the newer OMGSRs to bridge the gap and if someone was to decide that they like the Target Dog better than the Sunjewel or Moon Dogs who are we to tell them they’re wrong? This is why there is backlash against the enforced demand values.
I’m seeing a lot of comments about URs being worth more than other old OMGSRs and I don’t get the reasoning at all. They are all part of the Dec18 rereleases, there is no reason to consider them more valuable than the old pets that have been OMGSR for years. Store pets yes absolutely they are the elite of the elite as there will never be more released but I just don’t see the UR reasoning?
For those arguing about the Skelebun being comparable to other OMGSRs I’m not sure that you fully understand that as store pets there will never be more skelebuns released on the site, whereas every other non-store pet will be rereleased every Dec18. The skelebun has been OMGSR for years now and in that time has continued to grow rarer within the OMGSR rarity. This is why so many of us wanted a rarity above OMGSR for rarer store pets to transition to as having these extremely rare OMGSR store pets in with normal OMGSRs leads to a lot of confusion and conflict.
