ever just get tired of hatching the same old thing day after day? well, i know i certainly do. the only time i really enjoy hatching is when revamps come out these days. with over 600 creatu to my name, i really don't feel the need for more, nor do i wish to leave my ranching profession.
so here's a proposal.
i'd like to see an npc area where a rancher can go to sell hatching spots. yes, an npc. the npc would buy them, like renting part of the incubator for the day. it would not get you much, perhaps only 1000 per hatch, but its more than hatching another nattie to release would get me.
on the other hand, this npc could then turn around and sell those hatching spaces to other players at 100 times the cost for one extra a day. why so expensive? Well, we wouldn't want people buying tons upon tons of them. after all, this is in part to help the economy by limiting hatches, yet giving a person that extra boost if they happen to finally get hold of that egg they're "dying" to hatch.
so, you have a system where ranchers do not have to hatch, but can make a small profit off selling their hatches each day.
impatient players with the tu to spend can purchase those extra hatches if they really can't wait.
the shop will empty itself every reset, so it won't build up a huge pool of hatches. perhaps it can even be part of the black market where people will have trouble getting in if they keep poking their nose it.
it would add to the challenge of the game, i think, and allow merchants and ranchers with tu to blow the chance to hatch one extra creatu that they've been nagging for. but only for the day. might even make the merchant profession more desireable for those that like hatching their creatu.
