Alright, well a lot of you might have noticed that the Forest is empty... again.
Now, why'd it get empty this time? The same reason as the first time. Too many pets being take out, not enough pets being put in. It's simple logic that eventually the number will go back down to zero.
This happened when you were only allowed to take three pets out. Who's idea was it to give users a total of 10 tries to get pets, with a possible of 10 pets being taken out of the forest by a single user per day? They only re-created the problem over three times greater.
As soon as pets get put in, they get taken out. Now that the forest is empty, it takes sheer luck to be able to find one pet, let alone a good one.
My suggestion is shut down the forest again for a while, maybe even until V3, and return the explore limit to three, or even one.
Would you rather have the chance of finding one, maybe good pet, or have the forest empty near constantly?
I don't intend to sound snippy. I just don't follow others logic and the Forest was such an interesting and now useless part of Res.
