I don't' mind the random junk that is easily restockable and all that. I like to frag that stuff anyway. But I would love to see more battle eggs and the items suggested!

Battling is an expensive little hobby, one does it because one likes to do it and it's fun. As such I do not support any Suggestion that "retains value". Someone who has worked as hard to get something that other players got first should be able to get the same items. The firsters got the benefit of using those items first, selling them earlier for higher sP if they wanted, but in no way should they be enshrined just because they were first.

As far as the junk drops, Quests drop junk and restocking isn't a guaranteed profit and Vending doesn't always win you.. There's no reason regular battle loot should be special and priviledged and untouchably holy.

Scrolls are hard to make. You have to have a high enough AP and a high enough stock of reagents to make them. I made a lot of new battlepets for the 10th anniversary celebration last year and since I have a huge shop with tons of books in it I was able to get them casting scrolls way higher than their scroll-making ability. This is now amplified with the Scroll library as we're not required to make multiple copies for convenience anymore. If scrolls become loot, they shouldn't be all that common.

Didn't GE used to have a 10th win drop? I like the idea of fifth win drops, because that way you don't have to be super obsessive or massively overpowered in order to get them. Since repeated-win XP is now reversed, the experience you get from the 10th win should be reward enough.

I have no particular opinion about the Battle Tokens other than many battlers complained on how useless they were for many years. I didn't see it as a real problem then, but everyone else did and if there's a Token-Dropper as a Challenger then somehow someones who never had a use for them nevertheless complaining about how they did that multiple obsessive wins on a Challenger they didn't really wanna win against anyways now where's their reward for it.

Eggboosters for the lower tier pets were restricted to lower tiers to start with because all y'all battlers complained about how medium and high tier petowners didn't really need it and were already capable of boosting themselves in other ways like BQs. Why isn't this an argument now? I know that my low tier pets, they gain tiers and stats so fast it was hard to Egg them all, higher tier eggboosters vs will be worth more because of time-savings than the low tier eggboosters

GE has a 10th win achievement prize, as does Maleria who I forgot earlier (but hers is not as good as the GE or Meatslab achievement prize) achievements are necessary to limit the number of something in the economy. it's not like someone with a bunch of high tier pets does not benefit at all from having them, they already are able to get the 5th win prizes on all of their pets, so I think achievements are a fair way to say everyone who is able to beat this can only get one. nothing unfair about that.

as for scrolls, I believe the OP meant new scrolls, not ones already obtainable from the shrine (a lot of these need revamped really badly, which is something stated by the BAs previously, so it may happen in the future. a lot of scrolls plain out suck)

retaining value is necessary though in battling. having high end weapons become worthless honestly ruins the fun of parts of battling.

I don't think anyone complained about free boosters and they didn't need them. Everyone wants the ability to gain extra stats. Just because you have access to other boosters doesn't mean you don't want free ones that you can't trade.

what website are you playing?

support for everything in the OP, especially the higher tier egg equivalents and replacing junky loot drops with potions/pylonics/stuff that's actually useful.

I&;d love an equivalent for the higher tiers. You can&;t trade or sell them, so there&;s really no harm in that and the training costs get out of hand somewhere up there...

GIANT EGG OF THE BADASS DRAGON WITH 25% MORE SPIKES AND BADASSERY.

Love all of this.

I wish Battle Quests could be revamped a bit in regards to loot. The rares/super rares are nice for selling or trade for Crystal Shop points and sometimes I'll get a Dark ___ Potion or Pylonic that I can actually use but it might be nice to see some special items or even Quest Shop points mixed in.

Also thought instead of nerfing the Rreign Scales that they could just be removed from the MC altogether and given out as a prize for every 10 BQs completed during the Fall or something. Not a perfect idea since it does favor battlers with stronger pets a bit, but at least it would limit the amount of scales going out as well as possibly increase battle and Gold Account interest for that season. I'd probably even stop skipping Chase if I thought there might be a scale at the end of it.

It really isn't just rich battlers who use boosters, they're just able to obtain larger quantities of them. Between the changing of Shinwa/Quentin and messing with the scales, the ones who are actually being hurt in this are the battlers who can't afford to buy a hundred at a time.

A way to get de-powered versions of the opponent unlocking loot, please.

TC&;s need these.

THIS TOO OMG. I so wish these items were like the old Identity Star Shuriken where they just change a little and become.. idk, a wearable or something when they're used. Or the item can just be dropped and the opponent is unlocked automatically, that works too.

I don't mind the random junk either as long as its opponent relevant, but I think switching things up a bit wouldn't be the worst thing either. I especially love the tokens and de-powered version suggestions.
