Plenty of people would probably gather, like, a thousand candies if not for the limit. It's in place to stop that from happening - that would mess up the rarities. Trade-in pets aren't supposed to be common/vc, usually, but if not for the limit, almost all of them would be.
I'm socially awkward and sometimes terse - don't mind me.

On the other hand, the time it takes to reach the limit... is insane as it is.

When the first summer event came, the medieval faire, theee was no limit. The blue cats with the castle and unicorn on them are the result if what happened: they were all very commin, though they came via the banner. Lots of people set a timer to click every 20 minutes. Not a lot of oets turned rare, i velueve uncommon was the rarest back then.
So they set a limit to make it fair to those who have less time, and to make the pets worth more. Basicly the limit is there to prevent an economy crash.
People pay 1-3 c$ per token. If you can click unlimited banners there are more tokens, so they will be worth less and less.

One of the other reasons is also fairness. People who can be online all the time can gather unlimited tokens while people who have school/work can't without a banner limit. To keep it more fair, people who have more time can hit the banner limit while people who don't have a lot of time can still hit that same banner limit C:

I think of banner limits like the adoption limits on monthly pets, except you have to work to reach the limit, but still
Spread the word to end the word, because discrimination based on perceived or actual IQ/"intelligence" is no better than discrimination based on race, gender, etc.

Context, consistency, and clear antecedents are golden.
I neither read nor speak between the lines. But I will analyze your language.

Banner by Moonflight Image It's been over 10 years since my request, and I still love it. Thank you so much!
