2020 Summer Event: Casual Chat

[ahsoka.]

...trash, trash, and more trash! D:

One day. One day there'll be a summer event where I can trade in all of my tokens because I'm living the blissful life of not hoarding any of them
That day is not scheduled for 2020.
All these nuts and bolts are going straight to the scrapyard, sorry Unice

To be fair that's a glorious scrapyard

[Skarrred]

I'll have to agree with that
I may do that with spare tokens i cant spend anymore and soon one pet will be confused about why there is so much currency around it xd

2018 was a really agonizing event because I really wanted to keep all my machine part tokens, but then you could trade those in for macaw eggs. ...But then everyone bought so many of the macaws that trading for them became super easy, so I could simply hoard both :P

I am just always delighted by what kind of creative tokens we get. Most the time they're really pretty, like last year's herbs and crystals or the slumber party tokens from 2013.
It's tough to part from them every time, haha.

And while this year's trash tokens may not exactly fall into the "beautiful" category, I'm js they're kinda iconic

[Skarrred]

Agreed, if I were honest. I want to use them for decor but if I do i cant use them to get the pets

I feel that the horses are harder to get as 4 bolts etc. are needed, when you might just get a trash item, and some dont like the horses and trade the bolts etc for the possums and ibises. So the horses may be more rare then the macaws from 2018? *shrug*

All I want is the red/gold horse then hoard tokens and sell them (maybe)

The macaws from the machine trade in cost a token each, but the location you got the parts from only gave you a token every hour, as opposed to the banners, so it was still essentially the same as a 3-token trade-in, which is a fairly standard number^^ But the jungle event was the first time we got macaw adopts, so people were hyped for them, haha.
Tons of people hoarded them, and tons more got extras for trading later, so it's no wonder they ended up the most common token outcomes in the end :'D

With token pets it's really usually a combo of how much effort it takes to get the pet, plus how likely it is to get a given outcome from a trade-in, plus how popular they are.
More popular pets are bought more often, so they often end up more common, and if they're popular enough that may even even out how much time you have to put into getting them.

Something that comes to my mind here is the ravens from the slumber party. You had to go through a trade-in chain for two different items first, and the NPCs had actual waiting times between trade-ins, so that you were limited to how often you could do them no matter how many tokens you had.
But the ravens themselves were so popular that even now, the black one is still uncommon, seven years later^^
