The problem I see with all of this is just how giant the shop is. I've followed the shop since '09ish and in that time I've seen the breedings list go from seventyish pairs total to almost two to three hundred at times. Because the shop is so huge, and the standard the colorists are held to when it comes to creating pets is so high, there are very, very few chances for customs and breedings. There are few colorists who are allowed to do breedings and customs and then they are limited within that how many slots they can take.
And yes, it royally sucks when you're trying for one of two slots because that's all the colorist can take that month. It royally sucks when your meager amount of gold means that you can't participate in auctions or have a lick of chance in a raffle. It sucks. The RNG sucks as well and seems to favor people. Or they've just learned the best time to buy their tickets or post their forms or something. I don't know. All I know is the RNG has hated me with a passion since 2010 xD.
In regards to cooldowns, limiting what you can get from big events, when they happen what? Three times a year at most? isn't going to work. I think a lot of people see the big events as a better chance to get pets, because there are just so many. Do people with gold to burn continually win auctions? Yes but it's their gold and items. If they think that auction pet is worth a Devil Tail and 10mil in pure, then that's their choice. The current way they have it makes sense to me and I don't think you should change it. As it is, I pick and choose because I'd rather win a pet I love instead of just trying at everything.
Customs happen so infrequently now, as opposed to 2009 or 2010, that I agree something needs to be changed. Whether its number of raffles or the time frame is lengthened I'm not sure but obviously something needs to be done to at least thin the lists a little. And I say a little because just because the cooldown exists doesn't mean you're suddenly going to start winning custom slots. Soq is just too big for that.
Breedings are really complicated because you have two (or more with co-owners) people involved. You can't just say "you win a breeding, you can't enter in the next five" because that would take the opportunity away from your partner, as well as screw up LL counts. You can't say "you win a breeding and can't get any baskets for the next five months, but your partner can still try the pair" because that's unfair to the person left out. With only 3 breedings per Soq, people want to make sure all of their breedings are used to the fullest and that they get baskets from it. The shop already limits the number of pairs and the number of wins you can get in a month.
While it probably wouldn't work, I'm curious to see what would happen if the shop still limited you to two breedings a month, but you could enter every single pair you had, in every raffle. It would make the list that much longer, especially with those of us who have five, six, seven couples, but it would also give you that extra chance to win a breeding. You'd have to limit people to one win in any given thread though, since the slots are so few and infrequent. Would also work better the more slots there are, but as it's been pointed out in other threads just demanding more slots isn't going to work, considering from what I've heard the colorists are already on a rotating schedule, so they can't give us more breedings if they wanted to. I think.
-shrug- I don't know. The breeding issue is really complicated, given how the shop runs these days.
But that's my two cents. -nod-

AllSummedUpNJazz I say double all cool down times. This shop is super big and has a lot of users so that would be the fairest way to ensure that luck gos all the way around. And honestly if it were me I would post a schedule for events every month and you can only win one thing a month. Not one of each type. One soq a month. Period. At least until more colorists are hired.
So just asking more.
What about SC stuff?
What if someone wanted to gift a basket to a friend that had already got something?
What if someone is gifted a basket by a friend and wants to try in customs or breeding, etc?
In other words, I really don't think this 'one per month' thing is good in practice, even though it may appear to be good in theory. |
