User blog:Ajgreelyfan3/The New "My Shops"

I know a lot of people have been talking about this. But I think that I have to address a side of these shops that not many people have been.

I kinda wish that these never would've been released.

Ik, ik, a lot of people think that these are the best things that have happened for AJ, but I care to differ. Playing AJ is suddenly less fun and more fun at the same time. You can go to people's shops and buy random things for all of those diamonds you have been hoarding and then sell it for more to get profit! Everybody wins, right?

Not really.

Jamaa Township has become a boring place, now. If you're not looking for a store, well too bad. You're only gonna get stores. That's the only thing that jammers care about anymore. Stores, stores, STORES. I literally can't find anyone advertising anything else in Jamaa Township usually.

There is something else, as well. The nonmembers. I don't really think that it is exactly unfair,  but I don't really think that it is fair either, if you know what I mean. If you go to Jamaa Township, you can see waaaay less nonmembers than there usually are. This could possibly mean that they aren't getting on AJ currently since they can't do anything but see people advertise stores. Also, the nonmembers that are there are just kinda...sitting there. Idk about you, but it seems like there are a bunch of people shouting "STORE!" "MALL!" "SHIPPITY SHOP MY DEN!" and then there are these nonmembers sitting there, looking bored and wondering why they can't buy things from people's stores like members can.

IDK if I'm just being, like paranoid or something, but that's what I think.

I hope that in a month or so, we'll look back at the My Shop fad and say "Wow, remember when so many people were advertising shops and when you could go to anyone's den and there would be a shop?" and then they'd respond "Yeah, that was weird..and some people thought that this would replace trading! Ha!" And we'd all laugh. But that might not be a reality.

What do you think? Is the My Shop the most amazing thing ever in Animal Jam or do you too wish it never existed? No one can be sure what this item will bring to the AJ community, but one thing is for sure: it will bring (and has brought) very big changes.
