Ok so guys, I actually talked to an admin (1y2e3r4u) about 2 and a half months ago here was the conversation.

Idea for pet pages

Omgblah22

Hi! Im bringing this idea to you because I know your a pet collector so this would make the most sense to share with you. While I love that we have a page for the promo pets, the worths vary so much and I feel as if all the pets sharing one page doesn't give them any justice. For example; the sloths say 1 black long and usually add, but with the right colors and features they can easily go for more then 2 black. I believe it would be a smart and even logical idea to seperate the bigger pets to each have their own page (so pets such as doves, seals, sloths, hogs, hedges, etc.) that way people interested in trading for them know that things like color, eyes, hair, and even sometimes names can wildly chage the value. The only time the current page even hints at this is when they mention Pigeon Doves and how they are worth less then the average dove.

If this were to happen I imagine the pages would be somewhat formatted like there is a list of worst to best colors. List of worst to best eyes. (And so on for other features), and to have like solid colors usually go for more. Stuff like that- alongside accepting that there is a much larger range for pets. For example: The page says seals go for 1 black long usually add, but someone on that page had a seal with desirable traits and was offered a rim hd and a decent long.

This was only an idea but I feel as if it makes sense and would overall better pages and especially help when people are new to collecting.

I hope you can take this into consideration- and discuss it with other staff-members!

Pfff I did reply to this, it musn't have come through :/

So while I completely agree that features are special and do affect the value, I feel like listing them would make them lose a lot of their speciality. Like, if everyone knows that a pet with a certain type of features if valuable, they'll make that pet, and it'll just suck if everyone makes pets just for the rares - the reason they're so valuable is because people usually just make similar pets that they like for themselves.

I also think a lot of the love for pets goes to the thrill/hype of getting one you like for cheap - once everything has a concrete value, they lose a lot of the fun-factor, and become just like other business items.

That said though, I really like your idea, and have given it a lot of thought myself, actually.

Im glad you like it though- even if you disagree with going through with this (which I am completely fine with it was of course just an idea, I can understand your reasoning and I do no wish for pets to become like every other item) I feel as if at the very least- we need to mention their is a wider range of prices that the pets can go for then whats listed. For example I am sure you saw the comment on the page but someone was offered a RIM HD and a decent long for a seal far more then what the page even lists. Same as sloths- Fancygrow offered Plants a RIM HD and a black long for a pet sloth far more then the suggested worth.

I used to agree with you that this page was needed and while I still think its nice. Like they said, having whats better ruins the specialty and the personal value.
