I know the Res Economy is bad, and now pets are selling very cheaply, or not even selling. So, my idea is to reduce the Rancher shop hatching limit to 1 or 2 every Reset. Yes, I know I will not get much support from Ranchers for this, but think about it; less hatches means rarer pets and less names used at once. And think of what it will do for the lag! To reduce the limit of very beneficial, at least I think so.

this is ridiculous. They already made the merchants have only one hatch. Sorry, but you know, there are more users, and the more users the more pets. PERIOD.

What? o.o

A major point of this game is to hatch your own pets. By reducing the hatches for the  Merchant clas.s to zero is effectively taking away half of the whole basis of Res--collect and hatch your own pets.

Likewise, the entire point of the Rancher clas.s it to hatch colored pets to sell. Reducing that limit will just make it tougher for Ranchers to make tu; It would do very little to help the prices of colored pets. 

I understand the intention of this suggestion Chance, but reducing the hatch limit for ranchers would cause more hurt for Ranchers who are already having a hard enough time making tu as is.

There's already a nice thread full of great suggestions for preserving pet value and helping the economy. :3

Saru, I understand what you're saying. Cold~ I'm not trying to stop people from joining, one of the best things is showing a new User around, but I just think that reducing the limit by one hatch a day isn't going to change much. Merchants should have their one hatch, Ranchers should have Two. If it's that way, the pet value should increase, colors become rarer, and it should be easier for Ranchers to make money.

No. Reducing the hatching limit will not help Ranchers make money. Take this from a Rancher. We make our money off of the colors we hatch. If we have one less chance to hatch a color, we'll end up losing tu. Sure, it'd raise the overall price of a color by a tiny margin, but not enough to make up for the tu lost from losing colored pet hatches.

They're perfectly fine where they are. There will be a way to get rid of the excess creatu eventually. Changing the hatching limit isn't the way to go. We did that once already and that's enough.

-fizzyizze
 
With the exception of CS eggs (which everyone should be able to hatch) I agree with fizzyizze.
 
With three hatches a day, ranchers hatch:
 
90 pets a month.
270 pets every three months.
540 pets every six months.
 
That's one rancher. It is very unlikely that hatches will be reduced, but I still maintain that there is no valid argument to be made against this idea. How can anyone justify 270 pets being put into the game every three months. By one person. ?

Lol. Oh jeeze. Let's bust out my very old, very abused suggestion:

Merchants get five hatches EVER, Ranchers get one a day and can sell their hatched creatu to the Merchants.

That way, Merchants get their 5 wanted creatu with the names without having to spend money on Name Tags, and Ranchers get money from the Merchants who can't hatch anything. (:

But, there's still the releasing. Many people release their natties without naming them. Take that into consideration.

I'm just going to throw this out there:

I'm a merchant and as far as dropping the merchant limit to zip/zero/nothing/whatever, would more than likely drive some users off. Merchants rather like having the same thrill that ranchers get when they hatch except when a merchant hatches, it's more of a thrill because we only get to hatch one egg a day plus we don't have the extra luck of getting a color, so when we hatch a color its an amazingly happy moment.

Also, yea we could buy hatches from Ranchers, but then we have to worry about:

A) Being ripped off. [I for one don't care to pay 200k+ for a nattie hatch]

B) The user who the hatch was bought from might decide that they want to keep the pet [Yea, support could handle this, but that just means more stress on them]

C) When the creatu is hatched, if it is a good color, the user the hatch was bought from could say "Well I used up one of my hatches and since this is a nice pet, I'm going to charge you ??? TU more."

Yea those seem unlikely, but I've seen worse and actually have seen all of these happen.

Well, I'm not suggesting that Merchants have their hatching limit dropped, but Ranchers. I think 1 hatch a day would be enough, and it would increase the value of pets.

-.-

soon, everybody's going to become a merchant, there will be no ranchers, and then what?

It's like a rancher telling a merchant that merchants shouldn't get a 10% dicount in shops.

If ranchers don't get 3 hatches a day, there would be no upside to being a rancher.

ok, 25 profile pets, but most people store their pets in showrooms anyway. -.-

30% more chance of hatching a coloured? fine, but does that make a difference? I hatched 4 silvers and 3 blacks in 2 weeks when i was a merchant. I got sick of one hatch per day and escaped into rancher cl*censored* again.

If we do lessen the hatch limit, there's a high chance I, and probably alot of other people would end up quitting.

If this idea is approved, I will definitely quit res. -.-
