(Announcement Pg 76) Demand Data Cloud

[ElementalInsanity]

Just to add my two cents into one of the poll options, two trades showing someone overpaying for a hoard pet doesn’t mean demand has gone up. I know if a yellow toxic hoarder and a blue balloon and a CEG hoarder that will overpay for their hoard pets when they feel like it which could very easily then affect that “two trades”.

I know that’s a possibility. ^^’ I personally don’t think two trades would be reasonable. But I know that some people do hold that opinion, and I’m hoping that a majority vote (even though I’m hoping for a different option to win) would still make others feel like differing opinions have been heard, even ones I don’t personally agree with.

I’m aware of that. I was just putting my two cents onto the thread itself. ^^”

Could I suggest that maybe a good compromise for the TD/re-release BA issue would be to have it placed in the "between sorb and non" category? I'm just concerned that having it's TD value listed (when, yes, TD is worth exactly the same as re-release) will encourage people to push the true date "value" even higher.

^^^ i agree with this. =) just even looking at the recent trades on the trade thread shows more near sorb worth. Saw a BMD (that with demand people said a sorb right?) and BA swapped.

I'm not ignoring this I promise. I'm ruminating. I'll post again if I go ahead and move it, or I might put it to a poll in a couple days? ^^ either way I'll let folks know!

Just to have a ref for people, this is a trade I got for my PPS dragon cat(I only rejected because Flurry is my baby)

I've repositioned the Black Advent (BA) from the "non" section to the "sorb to non" section.
reasons for doing this:
- because this reference allows for some ambiguous categories, this doesn't really change the depiction of the BA's demand, just indicates that it's more flexible than previously shown.
- there is trade evidence that supports a fluctuating value from player to player.

if there are any questions or if you would like to discuss the move, please feel free to post to this thread!
I considered putting the move to a poll, but when I tried to structure a poll around the question, I wasn't able to find a good way to ask it (that wasn't misleading) within the character limit. so if you'd like to discuss it, it would be helpful to post opinions!

I feel like, in the future, store pets are what will witness the most demand spikes. We've already seen this with the raven dog, the skelebun, and the marionette, all of which are older store pets and are some of the most sought-after pets to date. I've invested in the Alice in Wonderland set because I'm sure it'll be worth it in the future.
