That is essentially how I feel about referrals.
I&;m not saying the idea hasn&;t crossed my mind briefly, because shame is an entirely foreign concept to me... but I enjoy the respect of my co-workers (despite driving a Transformer car and talking about geeky crap all day) annnddd I&;d really like to keep it that way, frankly. |D

I am totally down to haunt Keith forever if we die trying to get referrals from homeless people for books for our fake pets to read on the internet.
This will be on Ghost Adventures in a few years and the mediums will be like I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY&;RE TRYING TO TELL ME, THEY DIED TRYING TO BUY BOOKS FOR THEIR DOG??

lol, does half the people in this thread live in Houston or somewhere in Texas? Cos im in.

and I agree on the cap. They should implement a phantom cap. And if they are worried about the top pet demolishing a boss during a plot, maybe they could scale it down just for specific events kinda like how pokemon scales down when doing that battle island/tower shit. (or just let it be lol)

I am glad that a lot of good came out of this thread. Hopefully its not a once a month thing.

I haven't been able to send a # customwear ping. I've tried a few times yesterday and today. But I'm receiving them from other people? I know you were working on this yesterday, is there any chance you could look at it again? I just really want to be able to ping. :(

On the other hand, there have been so many small fixes over the past few days and it's fabulous. I'm glad to see all of the progress (finally?).

And please please please could we get some of the retired cs things back for sales at full price. ;_; So many books I want, cryyyyyy.

Count me amongst the group who'd pay serious $$ to get my hands on some of those referral shop items.. I'm antisocial, but I have money. Plz take my money.

re: the stat cap - kill it. KILL IT AND LET ME KEEP SPENDING MY CASH ON TRAINING FOREVER. Cap the challengers, not the people who just want to pour money (real and virtual) into pet stats.

-dies- that would basically be the best Houston meetup ever! TEX MEX AND TRYING TO GET HOBOS TO SIGN UP FOR SUBETA. Life will be good.

Y'know I'm starting to think we could definitely hold an un-official Houston meetup at this point XD! I know , , and myself all live here and is within a stones throw. Perhaps we could lure a staffer out with promise of sweet sweet mexican food, but who knows!

Maybe just some of the more vocal of us! Or maybe I just dragged them all out.... are you from this area too?

I hate the cap r__r; I got it at first but really it's time for it to go die |D Challenger cap for sure, but leave our pets out of it okay. OKAY. I JUST WANT TO TRAIN FOR 5EVER.

.. and also buy referral items with csc. I wanna do both of those things. And live happily ever after.

do want. i'm not going to refer people anymore. everyone i've referred to subeta has ended up coming to me like "how do you keep playing this site? it's full of bugs. this feature doesn't work and this thing doesn't work and that doesn't work. i'm going back to neopets." and it's just like........ i know errrrything is broken, but eventually it stops bothering you as much! :(

That's so weird, because I've been getting # customwear pings! (But looking back on it, I haven't gotten any # TSrestock pings (not even the ones from Keith) so maybe it was a fluke?)

edit because i regret ranting and this is less ranty and more helpful i think..?

first: i appreciate staff being more transparent. that is helpful, although i would like the "daily" progress bar to be switched to weekly or monthly since i know a lot of people on here don't have a ton of cash on hand (including me) and most people get paid every other week or by the month, so i feel like this might help ease the tension of a daily progress bar. For sites like reddit and wikipedia it works, but that is because they have a very high number of site hits every day. subeta really really pales in comparison, so thats why i think the longer timeline might be better and not make everyone as nervous

second: i want the wardrobe to work. its the one feature that everyone uses/cares about, so i would really like to see a full effort put behind that, and then have things continue to be worked on one by one. also at least the other systems semi-work, but the wardrobe is like super borked right now D:

third: would it be possible to advertise for programmer interns so they can get experience and you guys can get cheap/free help? (i'm not sure how those internships work, but i know that my sister did law internships for free because it looks good for her with or without the extra cash, for the schooling and all that). because if that is a possibility i think it should be explored since it would help ya'll out a lot and it wouldn't be as expensive as employing a full time fully trained programmer.

fourth: adding to the texas dog pile. not currently in houston, but used to be. soooo woo texas yah lol

Side note, did we just give up on the update to the achievement system? It seems to have stopped working altogether, people are actually losing achievements now, and new ones aren't being counted, and no more feedback from staff about it?

SEE SUBETA. THERE&;S THREE PEOPLE RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW WILLING TO BUY REFERRAL ITEMS WITH MONEY BECAUSE WE&;RE NOT SOCIAL.

Make that 4 (or whatever the count is now, I'm sure lots of people would welcome the opportunity to spend CSC on referral items)! :P I literally have nobody to refer here, so I'll forever have 0 referral points... There's so many items I want from that shop, but I'll never have. I'm looking at you, Faithful and Faunalego!

On the cap because I guess a lot of people still don't understand it: It was necessary and I still stand by adding it 100% and am incredibly happy that we did.

We were having to make so many choices and content decisions based on the VERY TOP TIER of pets to keep them interested (because they're the people pouring hours / billions of sP / time into making their pets the very best) and not having any time to work on people who were in the middle. Now we have a hard beginner / middle / high end pet list and can make opponents that target them all.

I know people who battle frequently hate the cap and think it was an awful idea, but it was really, absolutely needed in order to run the battle coliseum like what it is - a game. Games need caps, again: something we've been really terrible at.

UGHHHHHHHHHH to this and all of the other posts on this. We've been trying REALLY HARD to move away from this - I'm sure you guys all noticed when the CS hustler stopped stocking site items, he know only does CS items because it just makes so much more sense from a game perspective that way.

I'd love to have a non-crystal shop method of getting out game items that have been retired for a long time (PLZ MAKE SUGGESTIONS) that is fun and interactive and not just collecting crystals waiting for it to happen.

And as per referral items, those are one of those sets of items that I want to have retain their value in their particular area (referrals) so it's unlikely they'll ever be given out by any other means. I do want to make referring friends a lot more attractive though (buffs for both users. Increase your quest gains by 15% or something for the first month your friend plays and things like that) through things that push you to play together. We're already making changes to the CS bonus, as well.

We don't want to make a lot of those changes until the registration flow is fixed though. Right now it's SO BAD and we have a lot of features brewing that would happen on registration that we want to get pushed out first but it's SO MUCH lore building and art and content that it's going to be awhile. (It'll make you happy tho :P)

I've agreed that it was needed for a period of time, and I still 100% support there being a challenger cap far far more than a pet cap because one of the battle admins specifically stated that a few challengers have been made HARDER than the cap to "give capped pet's a challenge" that we never asked for and that it was intentional that users would need godlies to beat them.

We've been told time and time again that pet stats "Are supposed to matter" and that "we shouldn't have to rely on god weapons to win" yet that is exactly 100% where we are right now.

Either you need to delete every single last tier 11-12 weapon (yup, the one's I own included) or you need to raise the cap. Or the system needs to be flooded with gods which'll only make matters worse.

It is ridiculous to push a cap on people, then still have things designed higher than what they can physically beat without somehow prying the required gods out of other users hands.

unless there's a cap removal/change involved, or the pet page being indexed to stop lagging (35 second to load yesterday, froze chrome up entirely)... I don't think it will.

I'm also getting the whole referral special stuff but here's the thing. I don't know anyone. I'm not going to ask my 71 year old coworker or 50 year old bosses to plz join this petsite so I can get referrals. I am not in the business of going out to make friends just to try to push a petsite on them, and most of the people who end up on the referral page are already frozen for scamming or aren't selling anything so I'm kinda like.. well I guess I can solicit homeless people or ... yeah well that's about it :c

I don't even care if it's $2 a point (which is about 8m which is hardly a deflation) but I literally am going to have to break rules or solicit homeless to get people to join the site and refer me.

But... a subeautique item was just in the Hustler... ,_, don't take away my hope!

I wouldn't mind things being put in the Token Shop if the wait was reduced to 6 hours, because the chance of you catching two multiple-item restocks without any wait time left is super rare. But essentially that's still just collecting tokens, waiting, and hoping you catch a RS.

KEITH WE ARE ON A PET SITE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD DO YOU THINK MANY OF US HAVE RL FRIENDS TO REFER?

Side note: "Increase your quest gains by 15%" this should've been a buff for buying CSC from the site, just saying.

Fixing the pet page is on my list, but it only lags for people with a million pets (you and ).

And yeah, I get that we're on a pet site and that referrals are hard, but that's why we have prizes for it. To motivate people to refer their friends.

re: getting old stuff out. You did it with Alegarten, and you did it with the new years shop. Those were both great ideas.

Other ideas: toss things in the Millionaire shop for 24 hours (so people can't buy more than 2). More Token Shop restocking of old stuff. Give Drills back his stock of "other" stuff. Maybe add some other prizes than the bucket of polar water for finishing the ice fields. Maybe change the treasure map - right now other than finishing the first one to get into the blue building, there's no real point in completing more maps. And speaking of the blue building, maybe stick a quest type of thing in the basement that would involve old stuff in some way - or a game, something to spruce the place up.
