I just came back from around a two-year hiatus, and it seems the demand of some pets have went up immensely. What caused this change? I remember when people would quit because they didn't have time, but I've talked to many users that have quit recently and it's all because people are apparently greedy?
I've noticed this as well and it makes me really sad. I feel like we're in a positive feedback loop in a negative way: greed has been getting worse, demand has been getting more extreme, patience has been fraying more and more quickly... Why? In 2011 it was only a really bad annoyance. In 2013 it was worrying. In 2015 it was really bad. Now it just sounds extreme and I don't know what's going on. (I mean, I do--it's a positive feedback loop--and I even know why--because of human nature and the demographics of this site roughly lining up with the target audience--but...)
