Do you remember.
When this pet:

Was worth millions?
And do you wish.
That this pet:

Was worth more than 4 mil pure after using your hard achieved albino hatch?


This is a suggestions thread for those who want to help Rescreatu and it's slowly downward spiralling economy for pets.

We encourage you to do the following:

• Use less hatches.

• Release pets that you KNOW are becoming worthless before you hatch!

• Support ideas for making pets rarer and improving economy.
  

  
  The economy needs your help, members of Rescreatu.
  Maybe it isn't your job.
  Maybe you think things should be done without you having to.
  Maybe you're right.
  
  But still.
  Every little contribution helps!
  Anything that you do DOES make a difference, because it's one step closer, one pet less, to making pets all over Res more valuable and thus increasing the fun of the game.
  
  Let's make getting an albino pet a real challenge.
  Let's make it so you have to work to have coloured seasonals.
  
  Let's start something.
  
  
  
  Please! If you have any ideas that I could add to this post, throw them in! We'll be showing our support for suggestion threads in the near future, so if you find any worthwhile, Rmail them to me or post them here and I'll edit them into this first post under a loverly banner. ^o^
  
  
  If anyone would like to make us some graphics, that would be fantastic. Come on Res, let's do something about this!

I'm all in for this! ^.^

Personally I'm getting very sick and tired of having to hatch an Albino just to make a decent amount of tu, so I'll try and help anyway that I can to raise the value of my pets. :}

1. Make seasonal eggs a lot more hard to find. We've got so many members now, it's no surprise there's a surplus of seasonal eggs, and a highger supply means a lower price.

2. This idea came to me a couple days ago. Retire the most common pets. There's probably thousands upon thousands of the eggs in existence. The values of the pets will continue to drop ever lower as more members join and collect them. Alternatively, I guess the rarities could just be raised for the same reasons as mentioned above.

3. If we could get ranchers to buy up a lot of the underpriced pets and sell them at their previous values, that might help, but it would take so much time and tu I can't really see it happening.

By the way, this thread is pretty much what the party Res Economists has been about. 

I have an idea for a way to increase prices. Don't immediatly put it up for sale right after it hatches, take the time to train it and raise its stats so that even a common natty would be more valuable. I know it always peeves me that I'll see a 50 day old pet I find in the forest and it still has its baby stats. I'm not sure about everyone else but if I'm comparing adults and I see one has been trained I'd pay a lot more for it, even if it is a natty.

 I also have a thread going about increasing egg rarity if anyone's interested in looking there. 

 http://www.rescreatu.com/forum/cat/general/suggestions/make-eggs-rarer/~page/1/

I think all us ranchers should start rising the prices of the creatu in our shops. And stop undercutting. You know how bad I feel when after weeks of getting only naturals and the eventual sepia I manage to hatch a black or ginger pet, just to realize that it's worth only 100-150k, even with a good name? If everyone raised their prices, then that'd make them a bit harder to buy.

And let me add some suggestions for the site-

 I could also say, put a limit not only to the amount of eggs that we can take in total every day, but also a limit to how many pets of a certain species. That is, you can pick up 100 eggs in total, but you'll only be able to pick 10 eggs of x species and 15 of y species. The amount of eggs you can pick of each can be listed in the Creatu List in the Hatchery, next to the rarity percentage and the time it takes to incubate. That could help with the hoards of seasonal eggs during hunts.

Making usable items out of failed hatches, not only for the seasonal eggs, but also for the common, all-year findable eggs. And those items can be used for collections and quests, to make them valuable, and so people intentionally fail their hatches.

Add another quest in which people can turn in their eggs. It could be... I don't know, a monster that likes to collect creatu eggs, and in return it would give you usable items and tu, the rarest the eggs you turned in the most valuable the things it gives you.

That's all for now, I'll think of more 0:

You're welcome. o 3o
All these ideas are really great guys, though what we don't want to do is start culling pets. Instead of that, just make people more aware of how they should be pricing pets.

Good idea with improving the egg quest, Makah!
When we list enough, I'll be sure to post everything to the staff members any way I can.

I'm currently saving for something I very much want, but even so whenever I see a seasonal pet under 100k, I try to buy it just to keep them at some semblance of worth (sometimes I just don't have the tu so they stay there at a low price). I'm not a rancher, but merchants can do it too. Sure we're less likely to resell it for a better price, but still. I also buy up pets that under 50 tu and either release them into the forest (trying to lower the number of pets in circulation somehow), or keep it for myself if it was something I wanted.

Also, I believe it would help if they fixed the forest feature where, if you didn't pick up the pet, it was deleted. It existed in V1, why not return it to V2? Then I would advocate that everyone use every forest search they had and, if you didn't intend to keep the pet for something, just don't pick it up and it'll be deleted. Suddenly there are a lot less pets in the forest. Combine that with picking up unwanted, badly named natties and throwing them in there for more people to delete and we can cut down the number of Creatu substantially (of course, this is paired with not naming the pets you hatch that you don't want or even not hatching in the first place that was suggested earlier).

I'm happy to help ^^

And yeah, it would be great to re-introduce the pets being deleted as wolfspi said.

Btw, I'll be willing to help with the graphics once I get my tablet back ^^~
