This is actually against the rules so you can always report it to staff. Chat rules bullet (especially relevant, the last two sentences):
2. Please do not spam the chatroom with unnecessary messages. Examples of spam include but are not limited to posting a long message or several messages in succession in all capital letters, posting excessive keyboard mashing (like “asgdfhgjkl;l;”, it is known that this is sometimes a reaction but doing it more than once or having a long post of just that is spam), excessive use of emojis, excessive use of the bold, strikethrough and italic chat codes, excessive use of punctuation or letters, and posting short messages in rapid succession instead of keeping them all to one post. This includes copy and pasting any on-site wording, sentences, game results, quest results, alerts, or anything else similar; with an exception for Hatchery Notifications only. The Shoutbox is for chatting, not showing off or spamming everything that happens as you play the game.

The cost to heal makes it feel like the new explore feature isnt worth it to me. What do I even benefit from spending "a lot" to send out my pets to explore? There isnt any profit in it even and it feels like an unneeded money sink. If that becomes the only way, guess I will just buy dirt cheap eggs off the market because it will still be cheaper.
