I auto train my pets until Tier 8. Tier 8 and up I manually switch the sessions throughout the day. I have 3 capped pets who can't train anymore and a permanent Tier 1 for events that also doesn't train. Many of the higher tier pets only get two sessions a day because of how long a session takes.

Exp could work for higher tier pets since the sessions are slow anyway. The slow exp gain seems a bummer for low to mid tier pets.

Maybe just have an option where you can get special services from the NPC. Check off that certain pets are in training (you still use training center to pay and take in and out of classes manually or use auto training there) and certain pets are not checked don't train. The NPC will make sure the training pets keep up the hard work or something. Seems like there can be handwaving here to cover it.

what about jobs? Does anyone with 100+ pets have ALL of them working?

I was thinking I might use the farm with my measly 16 pets, but then they all work and I wouldn't want to mess that up.

As ling as it's easy to switch them in and out, I have nothing against this. I don't plan on having that many so I guess it doesn't affect me much anyway.

I think it could be a promising interactive feature in the future. Have a page dedicated that you could eventually buy a background for and possibly decorate. Maybe have transparent images of the pets you could drag and drop into different places on the backdrop, but with a definite limit, or an option to randomize what pet is displayed.
Very off in the distant future, but I could see the CW crowd really getting behind more things to customize.

Great idea. I couldn't afford 100 pets but this seems like a good solution for those you can. Thanks.

I have 101 pets, and one of my goals is to win the spotlight for each pet. I really wish I could win more than once, after entirely re-doing some pet's profiles with new pets. Will that ever be an option? Anyway, I have 30 something pets in the queue for Spotlight at any given time. How would being on this 'farm' affect that? I would not mind putting the pets on the farm that I'm not trying to increase intelligence or working on their profiles or whatever. But I also want to make sure I have easy access. Also, something is still broken for me where I can't battle or do anything through the job agency, like collect the pet's pay. But when that is fixed, will we still be able to collect pay for the pets on the farm too without having to move them in and out of the farm every day? There was talk at making it really easy to do this by one click and getting all the pets done at once. Even when it worked, doing the pets individually was a real pain and I kept losing my place and doing many twice.

[Edit] After I posted, saw you answered some of this.

I also only have 24 pets, a relatively low number, but I would happily set up my few "active" pets, and move around the pets that I'm actively building stats or TCs for. My main concerns would be making sure I can still collect their job salaries, and making sure it's easy to move them between active and not.

I love the idea of them earning XP, as I don't tend to train all of them at once because it's kind of tedious. I've been trying to think of something they could be doing in there to earn the XP. Maybe they could come back with random items (similar to the Rift), or low amounts of currency (similar to the bathhouse - a few crystals, tokens or whatever)? Running drills with Drills is fine too, but it would be neat to have an incentive to send them out.

Definitely sounds like this needs to happen, so I'm looking forward to seeing the result!

(re: I don't mind losing the sP sink from keeping your pet in the inn tbh, and like this much better from a friendlyness point of view!)

maybe paying a set price for a certain amount of time for a farmhand / petsitter type character to keep pets fed/ happy/ played with? basically the same result as putting them in the inn or resort, but you don't have to place each pet in individually - just an automatic thing when you put pets in the farm? as long as they're there they are cared for, provided you've hired a caregiver.

I would love that, and wouldn't mind paying a reasonable 'salary' for good workers.

Basically, yeah just run down the page. For the first month or two after you get them the job you need to get them promoted. But once they reach the top spot (or your goal job title) its just mindlessly hitting the button.

As someone with 123 pets, I think this is a great idea (providing there's still a way get the links to add to their treasure / change the descriptions, as even though I've got "finished" pets, they never are 100% guaranteed to not need updates!)

I've resorted to the customcss to hide most of my pets on the reading / feeding links just to make it easier to find the right pets! And I only have one in the Inn to make sure only one pet appears for battling :P However, it would be really helpful to be able to put a portion of my pets into the 'farm', which also would help me narrow down which one(s) to work on next, as I'm tending to flit between a lot of them at the moment, and getting nowhere laughs And if that in turn would help the site to stop having to load up so much information, then that's even better :D

A farm/storage box is a great idea! I don't really have anything other than support to add tbh.

Job Agency You need to have worked at the company for 56 days before becoming a Agent! Please keep in mind the following information: SAI is looking for: 56 Days Employed Brier currently has: 36 Days Employed

Job agency counts days for promotion. I wouldn't care if it stopped counting once you hit top position. As long as if you quit the current job and started another it would start counting again.

It also counts income collected for each pet by employer, position and total overall. I'm on the top earner scoreboard for income collected with multiple pets. I wouldn't care at all if this scoreboard went away if it made the site run better.

I am for anything that helps the functionality of the site, I dont use all my pets so putting them on the pet farm and not have their useless data downloading. Sounds like a great idea!

I don't know what the problem is. I can't do an account search either. It's really frustrating and I've written tickets and staff has tried many things but they finally came down to saying when the site completely gets on the new subeta I should be able to do all that again. Before Thanksgiving I had no problem but after, nothing. Maybe this is the answer, but other people with more pets than me are able to still do everything.

this definitely something you should read and throw your opinion in with all your pets

Its not a bad idea at all.

I'd like that option in the job center now. I have tabs open, one for each pet, that I refresh once a day just to collect all the income. It would be nice to just hit one button to collect all my pets' income at once, if possible. Also, I currently have 2 pets out of 20 that are ready for my hobby farm. I don't plan on training or reading to them anymore, only collecting their income.
