One thing that I think can help would be including as a year-round MC stock item. Considering this is a weapon that is considered "essential", is just as good on tier 1 pets as it is on tier 12 pets, it sucks that newer battlers would have to wait until Summer to fork over 8M to throw out of the economy. This is especially of note when battling events are taking place outside of summer (heck, Morostide has a consistent lineup of challengers and that's during the fall). I feel this would have newer battlers who start outside of summer be able to retain their interest in battling as opposed to frustration that comes from having to wait until summer to buy this thing.

Yes to targeting sP sinks at older/more established users. They are most likely to be the ones with more sP to spend and more want/need to finish collections and reach goals.
On the lines of 's idea, what about paying a fee to get an item out of season from the MC, considering that it's part of the regular rotation? It could be something like "Considering your Millionaire status, I'm sure I could grab you some items in exchange for x mil sP under the table, what do you say?". And the type of item can be controlled - like the Phoenix Quill that MrCool was talking about.

The option to be able to auto train a pet with sP points instead of CSC for those of us like myself who can't donate here anymore ^^. Most of the time I miss out on a ton of training sessions since I'm only here for a short time each day. It would be wonderful to be able to pay the entire days session with sP points instead of CSC credit. The CSC credit could instead be used with an option to auto train multiple pets for a day instead of one at a time. The only suggestion I could think of at the moment. Thank you kindly ^^.
It's basically asking for a choice to pay by sP for the total amount per pet training session and still have the CSC option available for both single pet and multiple pet training ^_^.
A friend is someone who knows all about you and loves you just the same ❤.
Waht said about buying permanent wardrobe layers!! I'm so tired of my mouth falling off!
I like the TC option you just implemented today. Makes it much easier however I don't like the idea of getting rid of MKB's completely. I'd like the option to buy more than 1 slot at a time though.
For example; 3 for 300k, etc.
[edit]
Another thing I would pay out the ass for is more room for pet profiles. I recently had to revise my guide because I hit the cap and there's still so much more for newbies to know and making another guide just seems like a waste.
I'm not sure of an amount I'd set but it'd be for like 10k characters per purchase maybe?

The TC Option is great, as is bringing back the cruise hairs. I still would love love love love love for Zombie/Event skins to come back somehow.
Not Zapper skins, since those are seasonal token sinks - but all those greyed out skins makes me want to cry.
I'll try to think of things that haven't been repeated here or on the locked wardrobe thread as well.
Make the Subeautique Makeup section not require invites! Those items are always in stock, but I worry about lines retiring so Iend up spending my Invites at the clothing section all the time. I would literally go in and buy all the makeup.
I don't have time to read all the previous suggestions, but I like these: buy TC slots for 100k/each (but keep MKBs around), let me bribe the hustler--I want more shots at the weapons, and I agree with the buy a treat for the Ruffie at the Ruffie Raffle for additional chance for prizes.
I would also pay good money for more wearable historical armors.
[edit] Agree with about the Phoenix Quill.
With the recent addition of items to the referral shop (GUYS COME ON, HAVEN'T YOU NOTICED THE LACK OF ITEMS CURRENTLY IN USER SHOPS. PEOPLE DON'T HAVE POINTS)
I would say make referral points buyable. Yea, blah blah you want us to bring people to the site. But there are things wrong with that.
LET US BUY REFERRAL POINTS.
Put a year-round pass for the privilege to spend tokens to zapp HAs into the Millionaire center. I'd plunk down a mil or two to not have to wait till Morostide to unlock more skins to play with. Have Skitters or Ecks sell a random zombie strain potion to the general (non-zombie) public. Never know what you're gonna get. In order to collect all the zombie skins you'll end up getting a lot of duplicates of a common strain in order to get a rare one unless you're very very lucky. I could see that being a big sP sink.
I'm going through this thread and I'm seeing a lot of people hoping to get things that are supposed to be paid for with CSC instead paid for with sP. This site won't run without CSC. If all the perks were given to players for sP, this site would've been out of business in its first year or two, guaranteed. I can agree with features on site that are already paid for with sP (the current MKB change for example) being revamped and changed into something new, but having 259240135832 (exaggerating but you get the drift) things that would originally be CSC-based changed to sP, I just don't find it right.
I'm not opposed at all to new features coming out that are sP-based, either. However, when those suggestions arise, take a step back before posting and ask yourself if this will hinder the site. If it does, then maybe those suggestions would be better left as CSC suggestions rather than sP suggestions.
I've gone through the thread and I've pulled bits and pieces out that I want to comment on. Before I get to that, all suggestions that are based on the GA or Loyalty card shouldn't even be mentioned (except for one which will get explained later). I'll explain further once I reach that point. I'm not trying to single players out, moreso give my point of view as to why I feel suggestions could or won't work. These are only my opinions. Those suggestions I disagree with, I mean no personal disrespect to those who suggested them, nor to their suggestions.

Machines that give out collection items that can not be purchasable at the collectible shop or in the Cash Shop.
Artifact stickers, retired stickers... omg, that'd super help me finish my collection.
I am missing so many super expensive ones so a machine that costs less but it's still expensive would be a something we collectores could benefit with each other and change and so on....
[edit]
Many collectibles can't be even found anymore and are super rare.
Example: Curious Dog Sticker, Chibi Lady of the Waters Sticker, Identity Hiding Glasses Sticker... I am sure other collections has their nemesis too.

Allowing us to recolor delish items (clothing) like we do the hair coupons, or offering a feature where we could combine specific items like the alchemist shop to create a set couple of colors for a price....like black lol
Quote by Paddy
A way of re-releasing the older zombie skins even if it works kind of like the zapper where we'd get a random one for a certain amount of sP (rather than tokens for the zapper skins), rather than being able to choose what we got (all those greyed out skins are taunting me each time I go to change back to being human!)
Quote by Straywillow
Depends how much but would be very nice to have more then one time autopricer a day. (the 25 CSC for another autoprice is not very realistic)
sP Autopricing: Non-GA holders would have access to this once a day. This sP AP feature would be missing all the benefits that come with the GA.
GA Autopricing: GAs would have access to APing twice a day, one of the APings would be paid for with sP but at a somewhat lesser rate than non-GAs. The GA APing benefits:
After the allotted amount of APing/day, you'd be able to pay 25 CSC/additional AP Being able to view the current lowest price under each item's price input box Gain the AP for the first time achievement Be able to see the AP table letting you know the lowest prices currently at the time of APing or the mid-range prices.
This would all be visible with or without APing with sP as they're GA perks.
Non-GA holders wouldn't get any of the GA benefits. They would be able to AP once giving them their prices set at the current low price at the time of APing. Any other pricing would have to be done manually.
Both GA and non would still be allowed to pay for SuperAutopricing (100 CSC) if they want their million plus items priced for them.
Quote by Metroid
Any feature which has a CSC component to it already.
Custom Overlays, for example. Sometimes I'd much prefer to spend sPs than CSC.
Same with Pet Name changes/name exchange system, and UN change.
Smelter sPs for Humming Power Crystals; 10k per crystal. If you want 100 crystals, be prepared to pay 1mil. Hon, I've felt the same way with name changes/pet slots at times. However, these are BIG changes/additions. These should only be doable with CSC. You can buy these items with sP if you buy CSC through someone else, but I don't feel as though changes like these should be given an sP equivalent. It'll hurt the site too much.
Though, I do like the thought of buying crystals o.o
Quote by Seerow
- Please let me spend 2 billion and buy a god weapon. Please.
I don't know how you could it flow logically, but let me spend sp to make my pet hungry again. I in no way remember to feed my pet other than like once a week. If I could feed my pet, send them to the gym for X amount of sp, and have them hungry again I'd feed my pet in like one sitting 😜
Let me buy a snausage for the Ruffie at Ruffie Raffle and have a chance of getting another doll. It doesn't have to be guaranteed that you'll grab another, the Ruffie could see you reaching for another and stop you or something. That's cool. Just a chance would be nice.
I love the MC. Add more items. All the items! Or if I can't get godlies add more powerful weapons to there for a lot. I already bought the Natasha, give me something else.
Make an "I Donated SP!" achievement. Give me someplace to donate money too (Free Food clinic? Adoption center? One for each place maybe!) with different tiers. 50k, 100k, 500k, 1mil, 5mil, 10mil, 50mil+. Add neat items and titles. I'd buy em all. Can't get much more sp sinky then that. Kinda like that "Save the Wheels" event that Neopets did a few years ago.
This was mentioned on the other thread by Andrea but let me bribe the Zapper guy so I can choose what experiment color I want.
I think that the MC is fine the way it is. Maybe make the current weapons in the MC Genetech Combos? Maybe even have multiple weapon deletion achievements? There are enough items in there (clothing and otherwise) right now that don't really need anymore additions to the shop. Maybe even have the current Legendary Weapons be combined with other weapons from the MC for even more combos. I'd only agree with adding more once other options have been exhausted.
I agree with another ticket draw for Ruffie Raffle (allow GAs to buy two extra for a total of three?). With all the different Lifelike dolls out on site currently (and more to come), it'll take forever for someone to get all the achievements for each set. With all the pets on site, I feel as though I'll be long gone to the next world before I get all the sets completed LOL!!! XD
Pets get hungry every 10-15 minutes or so I believe if not in a lodge. I don't think someone's online consistently enough for a feature to pay for instant hunger to be beneficial. Not to mention it'd probably make food prices go up a whole lot.
I like the sP donations to Charity's kitchen. The achievement could even be called Charity's Kitchen, but as long as the achievements are cumulative instead of not.
Buying the Experiment pet you want with sP? No. Just no. There are already two different kinds of potions on site that allow you to do that. The in the CS and for you to have a chance at getting the Experiment you want as it's a dew that gives you a random Experiment. There don't need to be anymore ways of obtaining an Experiment pet instantly.

More gallery categories - I would happily pay 500k for each extra category!
On the flip side of the coin, nothing to do with any kind of sP sink, I would love to be able to organize my gallery the way I see fit instead of by either item ID or alphabetical...please...?
Quote by Dollipop
a gold account option? i know many people (myself included, lol) just use part of the profits from autopricing to buy csc cards to re-gold ourselves, but it would be neat if there were some options for a rough equivalent of sp - like, let's say 8mill for 1 week or something. though that may cause some weird things to happen with the giftcard to sP ratio in the economy so maybe don't listen to me, hahaha. on the other hand, this might provide a solid sp to csc ratio for the site at last, so who knows!
here's some others: • salon options such as additional streaks and ombres (though i guess this might be hard to code) • overall wardrobe slots - ie, pay xmill sP and have ALL wardrobe slots increased by 1 or 2 (people would probably still pay for the individual ones since i'm sure some people only want face, head, etc and wouldn't want to shell out a lot of sP for layers they weren't using) • more millionaire shop items, maybe some more that are SUPER expensive but don't cycle with the seasons so people can save up • forum titles! maybe even a forum title shop with a new npc? • a secondary rewards card, where you can just buy stamps with loads of sP. different items than the csc rewards card and if people really want they can sell csc giftcards for sP to get this one! i think it would really boost the csc economy, too. this might be my best idea, lol! • a booklet of subeautique invitations? might not be able to be sold for enough sP that users prefer that over buying from user shops, though. No. The only way GAs should be bought is with CSC, or with sP if another player is selling it themselves. Whether you buy it from a player or directly from the CS, I don't feel, unless Staff decides to put a 1 Week in the Free Food Center, you should be able to buy a 1 Week from the CS with sP. GAs are one of the main ways that the site makes their money. None of the GAs or their perks should be purchasable directly from the CS with sP. All GA perks should stay with the GAs. There shouldn't be any option to buy perks with sP as the site could lose a TON of money that way.
It'd be impossible to have additional streaks, etc, in the salon. Styles come with fixed streak amounts. The Salon isn't a place where you can create custom styles to the extent where you can add extra streaks. It's not an interactive thing. It'd be way too difficult for artists and coders alike.
Semi-permanent wardrobe slots? Yes. Would save a lot of hassle.
No to more MC items, but yes to bringing cycled weapons, or items needed to make weapons, back permanently. There are some pretty useful items (the Phoenix Quill like mentions) that you can only get once a year. If you miss out, then you're hooped. I find there are already more than enough MC items to get along with right now. Especially if those weapons are turned into Genetech combos. The only thing that might fly is a SubQ Invite booklet to be added in there. Even so it might defeat the purpose of the REs and could cause issues in the SubQ Invite economy in player shops.
No to forum titles. These are meant to be earned. What's the point of earning something if you can just go in and buy it? It defeats the purpose.
Absolutely NO sP rewards card! Why on earth should one be rewarded just for buying stamps with sP? The Loyalty Cards were brought into play to reward users who buy CSC with real money. There are more than enough items on this site to spend sP on. Having a similar card is not only unfair to those who spend real money to get the stamps for their CSC Loyalty Card, it totally defeats the purpose.

Quotes by Georgie and Flux
Georgie: Double the vending limit for a day/week/month
That damn angrybeard plushie!
Flux: It would also be cool if we could purchase buffs that give us extra quests for a week/day etc or some other perks. There was a big fuss over buffs being added a while ago and they haven't really gone anywhere aside from event timers :c Keith modified vending and quests due to the amount of sP and items that are already in play. I made a suggestion for double quests for one quest giver once a month and he said no due to the very reason of too many sPs being out there. What's the point on BUYING quest buffs? The whole point of questing is to earn sP. It'd be a complete oxymoron to buy quests.
I can't see things flying for buying extra vends, either. Things may get changed again if Keith deems the economy being able to handle it.
[spoiler=Quote by Murph]I love the purchasing battle challengers idea! ;O; Yes please. edit: this could refer to new challengers, but old ones would be amazing for some super premium yes Donating sp to get achievements would work well for the achievement oriented people on site.[/quote] Only way I would see there being a way to get retired challengers is through paying CSC. This would be the only way I could see this flying. The other catch to it would be for probably quintuple the amount of the original price (Eg: Research notes were 250 CSC. Would cost 1250 at least for one challenger...at least.). Buying them for sP? No. You also wouldn't be able to get the item tha

Going off of 's idea, instead of letting people buy referral points, why not just drop referral points entirely and turn the shop into an sP sink by itself? I know I'd pay a ton for some of the items in there, but I have literally no friends interested in joining the site because pet sites just aren't their thing, and the one friend I did convince to join ages ago isn't active anymore, either. Can't grab the items out of user shops either because it seems almost nobody is selling any of them. I've honestly given up on getting any of the ones I want at this point.
I do really like the idea of getting special points for getting folks to sign up and having awesome special items just for that, but getting x amount of people to sign up and stick around just to get a few items is kind of a complicated set of hoops to jump through for various reasons. I admit it doesn't seem remotely likely, dropping an entire feature like that, but it's just a suggestion.
Also, seconding so hard making the SubQ cosmetic lines not need invites. The amount of sP I'd drop on that stuff is ridiculous, and being able to save up invites for the main SubQ restocks means even more sP getting dropped there. DOUBLE ALSO, anything that gets old zombie skins out there. I wasn't around for any of the infections and I'd love to have at least one so bad. ; o;
Referral items... That's one massive shop full of items most will never get. Instead of only adding items, maybe retire a few items, but give people the chance to buy them with sP first?
I wasn't fast enough to vote for the MKB, but... You were fast enough to make my dream come true~

Did anyone say new battle challengers were limited to csc only though? I see no reason for them not to make new challengers for sp. Obviously not for 1mil sp. If Ambassador Cruise hair styles were equated with the hair coupons going for 250 csc at 10mil a pop, the new challengers could be priced at 10mil to reflect the research note prices.
edit: And yes, there are achievements that you "buy". Like MC cumulative spending. Or that annoying taxation one. There are already achievements tied to how much sp you spend, so making another sp sink one wouldn't be anything new.
Now we got the tc slots: i really want to be able to buy them at 1/2/5/10/15/20/25 in one go.
it would be nice that if the 12 challengers we get this year would be csc one month sp the other month. So 6 months csc and 6 months sP. Or something else alike, i just really want more battle challengers :p
old bobbleheads in the mc at 40mil each or something like that.
Bring back the computer geek quests (revamped), but lock him behind a door that costs 500k (just saying a number) for a key a day. That gives those who want to work for the achievement a chance.

A prize wheel! One where you could potentially win a small amount of csc, a retired item, a non retired item, wizard token, or prize wheel coin that could be spent in a prize wheel shop.
I like the idea of mass buying TC slots but I still like the MKB to be kept as it's a really good gift option and remove the 12hr wait (sometimes it's a pain if you want to buy other things in the MC!)
From others, the whole buying old skins would be pretty nifty and the experiment zapper choice would be brilliant too. The Omen and Pirate war items would be great if you could purchase them (like mentioned, a mini throwback event)
I'm also wondering if you can get the option to buy referral items for a limited time too seeing that it's pretty difficult to get your friends joining but still keeping their value.
I would love a wheel that you could spin once a day. Some idea's for potential prizes:

Just remembered Alegarten. The shops rotate so some players can't be online when the shop they want is open. This means they don't get a chance to sink sP.
Last year there wasn't much in the way of new items. There was nothing I wanted so I didn't buy anything. I'm probably not the only player who has been around for a few years who didn't buy anything.
