Things that annoy you.

And since when were people trading 08 julys for a store pet anyway?

I wish those people would find me...8D

Anyways, do whatever you need to do, Tess. If you're not going to be able to pay for the server unless a few more pets are released, you should add more store pets, even if there is some opposition. Lots of people don't do well with change, but in a few weeks or so, they wouldn't be upset anymore. Whatever you do, you'll have my support. C:

by the way Tess, I made this for you:

That's what it's supposed to be

What gets me isn't that we have to PAY for them. I mean it's totally understandable and fair that they need some money to run the site. I LOVE the store, it support my fave site after all^^ No that's not the problem I see.

The problem I have is I'm a collector. The store pets ARE a part of the collection, they are NOT just some bonus pets you can get. I need them to get a complete collection. And I still need to get 13 Very rare/OMG so rare pets and a few other rare pets and now I have to get new rare pets not from regular adoptables every. single. month. It's hard enough for me to even try to get the September 08 dog I miss >.< It's just too overwhelming.

As I said I'll rest my case for a few months and see how it works. But I'd prefere the store pets to be something released once in awhile instead of every month and then keep them in the store for a few months.
And then release items more often. I don't care for items much so I'd be PERFECTLY fine with montly items. XD

It's unfair for us to demand free stuff all the time, of course. And that's not the problem for me, it's all about the amount of store pets. >.<

I've changed it to bi-monthly so that both sides will hate me but hey you can't win everything

Thank you Tess! You've at least pleased one now XD

[BlissfulFarrago]

I like the bi-monthly better, but it's still a little annoying for me. I see that money is necessary to keep the site alive. But still, I mean, it obviously gives those with C$ an advantage. And the eat me/drink me dogs are still "rare" after having been up months! If store pets come out for only a month or two each time, they will be even more rare. I don't trade much myself, but I might just give up on collecting completely.

[Crippling Machine]

I was glad to see the announcement, but I can buy C$. I've only been on since this past October and the store has allowed me to actually be able to trade on this game, and it is hard for a newb to get started.

It's not impossible to get the store pets, you just have to find the right people to trade with. I will trade away for store pets for practically nothing if someone is really nice and pleads with me. xD Also, if someone's a newb, I'm more lenient with what I take for store items.

So I'm kind of disappointed that the pets were lowered to bi-monthly, but now I won't be spending as much money on here. xD

But still, I mean, it obviously gives those with C$ an advantage.

This is my main issue with store pets. CS is mainly a game of luck - you get a rare and you can trade for other rares. But when you have people who can just pull out their checkbook and buy a rare, even if you can't buy old pets, with the way the store pets are valued, a whole set and you can basically "buy" a July '08. What I'd really like to see are adoption limits on store pets just like there are on the regular pets, so that people can maybe buy one set to keep and one or two to trade, and not just buy a huge amount and buy their way to a complete collection.

I also agree with Minimanta that I'd prefer that we had monthly items instead. More than my rational issues with it, having pets in the store has just always seemed tacky to me.

I certainly support the aim of the store as far as our great but expensive server goes, I just don't want this to get out of hand.

....Just a thought here, but maybe there could be some kind of "monthly interest" on C$? Like 5$ or so - not so much that the store would lose a lot of money, but enough that people unwilling to pay could save up and get something every once in a while?

[:)HeartsLovePeace<3]

Tess isn't forcing anybody to buy these pets, I understand a lot of people want to complete their collections but don't/ can't want to buy $C, but there will be people that want to trade them, there always are with any pet. It's not exactly something that's up for debate, Nick and Tess know what's best for the site and I think we should trust their judgment

Em...on a different note, being unable to find a working scanner on campus is annoying. >_o Especially when you do something dumb like forget./lose all the cords that go to your own scanner.

Things that annoy me right now
~ The fact that the change machine on campus isn't working. I really need quarters to do my laundry.
~ My roommate, but I won't go into details because I don't want to get bashed for hating her (which I do only sometimes )
~ It started raining/snowing/sleeting while I was sweeping outside today. I was already over halfway done so I knew I had to finish.
~ Adults who don't type properly and are more than likely teaching their children that typing like that is okay.
