Basically, AJHQ made people be able to get rare. They made the heirchy between Nonmembers and members by giving nonmembers more, then still not being able to be equal. They gave nonmembers the trashiest things and animals that no one cares about, and no one cares about them because AJ made them simply badly. But still, they keep giving nonmembers (and members to be honest) things they don't care about.

AJ stopped doing quality work. This is shown in both Clydesdales and in Direwolves (no offense to you who like those animals) Both animals could've been amazing, but... AJ didn't care about them. They spend like a month on each new animal they make instead of how they used to take about at least 6 months. They're games are getting glitchier, their wild weekends worse.

Do you know why? Because AJ doesn't care. They just care about fueling the most addictive part of the game that, like all addictive things, started out amazing and beautiful and eventually turned for the worse. It sucks everyone in, and starts fights between people. It makes friends turn against each other and scam. And do you know what part that is?

Trading.

Rares.

"Betas".

And AJHQ making more things become rare and making these rare things important is destroying this game. Do you know what is worse? Them making things rare and then eliminating their worth. Take the Royal Garden, for instance. This type of thing is literally going to make our beloved Animal Jam unplayable.

All because AJ decided what path we would all take.

And that path was to greed. i completely agree with this. ajhq only seems to run this game now to profit. i miss when the purpose of animal jam was to educate children about wildlife and the planet. i really miss when national geographic was partnered with aj oof
