This sounds like a great idea, Allen. I like the whole "make dye kits cheaper" a lot because it'll make naturals worthwile, and I can't name a single person who'd dye an albino. I think I'd have a fit if someone asked me to dye Wolff. It'll also make people more confident in saving up for and buying them, because, in a way, a dye kit is just something you use to make your pet appeal even more to you - and isn't that what everybody's like? Nobody's going to adopt a natural Zennie called "fhhrhlrfjx", but you won't even hesitate to pick up a gold Kioka (which has a possibility of 0% of being abandoned in the Forest).
And the whole apple thing... why can't people sell things for what they're actually worth? I once went looking for a 100k Barter Token in the User shops as Tina didn't have any, and the cheapest one was 250k. Who'd buy them then, if you try to rip them off when their value is actually written on the item itself? o_O And there are all these users who have the same item/Creatu in their shops and they're sold and ridiculously different prices.
Like the albino Zenirix thing - 3.8 in Allen's and a whopping 8 mil in other shops. Apart from the name, what makes them any more valuable? You can just try and get a Name Tag and/or a Gender Pendant if you don't like the Creatu that much, so it makes the whole "mine shall be more expensive" thing rather... silly?
But, all in all, I agree with you. :3 You pointed out some pretty good facts there.
