Thanks for the challenger breakdown! :D

I don't really mind having a lot of CSC challengers in general. I think it's nice to have them available and the art and prizes have been great.

I'm more irritated by the lack of balance between CS releases and every other kind of release. 40 permanent CSC challengers, vs 3 permanent free challengers. I've bought a few of the CSC ones, but I can pay-to-play AND I'm self-employed so I have enough free time to make sP. For the people who can't afford it, the BC would be pretty stagnant. I think that's a really bad mistake on Subeta's part. What player's going to want to start battling if they open the BC challenger page and it's the same as it was five years ago?

This has veered wildly off topic, though. Back to pet slots! Subeta's system is sort of screwy, but if they tried to change it now a lot of players would throw a fit.

I am so behind this just because I want more pets. I doubt they'll go for it, but I wish they would. I will eventually end up buying more pet slots (making myself finish ALL my current pets first), but I feel so guilty spending $20 on one virtual pet. (Especially since I'm a teacher and don't get paid in the summer, argh.)

And since I'm an ENGLISH teacher and not a math one, I don't understand all the numbers and formulas, so I'm not much help there. But yeah. I want more pet slots.

...why did I not notice your naming schema before? And how did I know you'd be willing to compute all the challenger info?

If we stick to "We can't change it, lots of people are gonna throw a fit", nothing is gonna get done, especially not on Subeta.

People on Subeta are really afraid of change.

See, reaction to every revamp ever, I mean, even the Ontra revamp had a bunch of HOWDAREYOUREVAMPMYPET.

And yeah, there might be a little bit of I PAID GOOD MONEY FOR MAI SLOTS but the thing is, the paid slots wouldn't be gone. They'd still have them. Like, I have 47 slots right now, I paid for 25 of them with CSC, and if base accounts were given five free slots, it wouldn't erase the MANY DOLLARS I'VE SPENT. I'd just have 52 slots instead of 47. Booyeah.

Even if it ends up being a SP sink, and not actually free, I'd just be "sweet, moar pets".

And, I'm scared to check how much these slots cost me, in the end. All I know is that it's WELL OVER THE 500$ it costs now. In that case, ignorance truly is bliss.

NOW THAT I LOOK BACK, I NEED TO CALCULATE EVERYTHING AGAIN BECAUSE THE TOTAL NUMBER OF UNPAID SLOTS IS 15, NOT 14, I forgot the totem they gave for the super user achievement the first time we did it. Back to drawing board!

I am always in support of more pet slots. I would happily buy five more in a day.

Always, always support more slots too. And honestly I really see a lot of the logic that offering more pet slots can generate more pet slots - I never thought I would go over 10 and then I got some free pet slots and whoops I am now at 39 slots... even though I never intended to go over that initial 10 anyways.

Yeah, when we get that first gold account, we go and are all "ptah, like there are 10 pets I'd want" and then you realize that years later, you now have 40 pets and you're trying to figure out who to use as zapper fodder for that new zapper experiment.

PET PEOPLE HAVE IT HARD.

ALL THE SLOTS FOR ALL THE BIRDS

easy to overlook :p

unless I miscounted, there are 45 Free/sP/unlock easily challengers the more interesting statistic would be the number of EH+ challengers, there is a far majority of csc challengers than there are free ones.

I don't see why there is a solid cap on the number of pets we can have though, people should be able to keep buying them as long as they want to spend the money.

Really interesting, thanks a lot,

I DIDN'T READ THIS BUT I DON'T CARE I SAW "MORE PET SLOTS" AND I SUPPORT PET PEOPLE. LET'S GO.

I want more pet slots, idgaf how. Free, paying, community challenge? I don't care, I want them, I want them all and i'll do whatever it takes.

I reached the point where if a new pet is released or if I bump into a spectacular name I either: a. can't get it at all b. have to decide which one of my children I can change/abandon.

Just...let me do pet stuff subeta.

I like the idea and even if we get more basic slots I'd happily buy 5 more for CSC as well. points to Tobias' bard Pets are what makes me coming back to this site after all.

To be honest, I want the 40 pets achievement. But I'm not shelling out 380 dollars to get the 19 slots I need. I know that, which is why I can't be bothered.

You drop that number down a bit, for free, and I might consider buying more pet slots because its less daunting and more obtainable.

Just my thoughts on the matter.

I will always be in support of more pet slots, I'm almost to the point where I wont be able to adopt any more new pets :c. I need so many of the new pets/colors!

lol if you think im gonna read the long post.

just gonna read the title and argue based on that

...

i always thought they should have done increasing prices based on # of paid slots you have and start low-ish/have a high ceiling, so it's easier to get people to buy their first few. then those who are dedicated will always go above and beyond.

the argument is similar for crappy video games like CoD, where it's the same shit every year. so what if jim bob and their 50 friends dont get it, the millions of 12 yr olds that get it for christmas make up for it.

I definitely support this. I used to never think I would pay full price for pet slots (but now look at this fucking trash heap). I would still buy pet slots even if I got 5 more for free. Maybe not immediately this week, but I wasn't planning on buying any pet slots immediately this week regardless, so no harm, no foul. The only downside is you'll have to see more of my shitty names around until I get some actual work done + put onsite for them (aka probably not until I'm 60)

Nah. You can spend $5 and get access to ten slots plus gain another item on layers, play more games and get autopricing. Among other things.

Why take away one of the biggest incentives to not only get a GA but also buy CSC? (It gets griped about enough already.)

A GA would bring you from 10 to 15 instead of 5 to 10, and you would still gain another item on layers, play more games, do more quests and get autopricing.

That doesn't change much, because a GA would do the exact same thing, giving you 5 temporary slots.

You can still get there with loyalty boxes.

Which cannot be gotten before 24 months of playing the site. Like, at all.

Dude, right? All that money Subeta is missing out on and they don't even realize it.
