The newer players can get them from the raffle in five days though? eventually prices of the old ones will raise to not be worth trading 5 in for a chance at 1 randomized one, with a better chance at being one you need, but still random. I don't see dolls going up to 100k each because that's 500k for a random doll. sure maybe the first few days that's a good deal, but most dolls will deflate to 500k for the doll you want.

Lifelike dolls shouldn't be a good way to profit because they aren't hard to get, everyone can get one for free every day and it's just a luck thing. Making newer ones go out a little more at first will make it easier for people to get them, and it will prevent the few people that pay like 10 mil each. I don't see that as a bad thing, I don't think these items should be worth 10 mil.

FEW PEOPLE PAYING LIKE 10M EACH?

ARE YOU TALKING TRASH ABOUT ME, SIR? I feel targeted. brb, pinging the minimod of this forum

User is being a targetting meanie and making fun of my expenses

Seriously, I offered 100 CSC on a Dawn Charlie and got outpaid. I offered 10M for like two weeks and got no biters

And then, I bought the doll last night for 5M. lmao

I don't think I meant anything bad by it but yeah, you're the first person I think of when I see lifelike dolls D: I know at least one other person that pays a good amount for them too. you probably aren't the only two people who do.

idk those sound like GREAT offers to me, if I didn't keep them I woulda taken that no questions asked.

not everyone does it that way, though. Some people just collect them from Raffles until they have nearly a full collection, then maybe trade with others and buy a couple if they're cheap, to finish off the achievements.

I know. I do the same thing, most of my new dolls actually come from two friends who have better luck than I do. I seldom buy a new doll for my own collection. I don't see why we have to worry about maintaining the doll's values though, there's no reason they need to be 10m or higher, they're a free item everyone has a chance to get every day

I give away all my extra lifelike dolls so this isn't about making a profit or completing the achievements with no effort. (also what effort? you click a button and get a random free item.) It's about being bored with the fact that I keep getting the same dolls I got ~2 years ago, the same reason no one likes to see the same subeautique items for sale for years and years. Except with the subq you can choose not to get more of the same old items, but in ruffie raffle you only have 1 chance a day and it's just so disappointing when it's something I've gotten 10 times before.

I would take trade 5 old for a new one over nothing. I wouldn't be outraged if nothing was changed about ruffie raffle, just ...apathetic.

I think my response may be a bit unclear. I was attempting to refute any claims of this these ideas make it harder for newer people to get the dolls or make things "too easy." there's no reason these dolls should be 10 mil+ when they first come out, like you said, you click a button and get a free item I also get the same old dolls almost every day. I got a zasaba yesterday but it was one a friend had already sent me. that might be the only zasaba I've gotten yet. it has been weeks upon weeks since I've gotten one I needed for myself.

lend me some luck pls.

I agree with you. It's this argument that kinda baffles me:

Quote by solsticesprite
my objection is that not all Achievements should be super cheap or super easy
You literally click a button and get a free item. It already is cheap and there is no effort involved; over time you can complete an achievement just by clicking a button. Time consuming? Yes. Difficult? No.

So that's why I made my statement that the only reason I brought this thread up is because I'm bored with getting old dolls. My intention wasn't meant to undermine an unstable economy around luck-based free items, or to make easy achievements easier. I'm just bored with constantly getting the oldest dolls. :x But maybe I just complain too much and no one else is bored at all or is even as unlucky as I am.

Despite my username I'm actually really unlucky. Yesterday I got a and today I got a . 😔 I definitely have no zentu yet, no charlies... I actually really forgot that the charlie lifelike doll had come out because I've yet to see one.

The older dolls get asked for from quentin so they retain a decent value for a free 1 click item, and I don't really see the problem with each new set being a little bit harder to obtain than the last? If you're trying to complete them without ever buying from anyone its going to be very difficult regardless, but as it is it doesnt take that long for the new sets to come down to a reasonable price, its just the first few of each colour of each new set that end up selling high.

sometimes when I say something, I actually say the opposite of what I mean :x I wasn't sure if that was the case or my word choice was bad, or that was a complete response to so I just wanted to clarify what I was trying to say xD

the old dolls are boring, I send them to my friend because she'll use them for quests and she occasionally needs one I get, which is more than I can say. I don't think I've gotten a charlie yet.

I keep meaning to say something here and I keep being absent-minded and forgetting. I don't see any reason why the newest dolls shouldn't be easier to obtain for a week or two and the others have a smaller chance to be gotten during that time. I'm also liking the idea of either turning in 5 older dolls for another draw or sometimes, rarely, obtaining 2 dolls with 1 pull.

I remember something being brought up in the past, though I can't remember who said it, about feeding Raffles some kind of food item for a chance at another pull too. Perhaps that could come into play, Raffles looks hungry maybe she'll let you play again if you give her -insert food item here-. The food item could change every x amount of time, like it does for the Autumn Dragons in the Farmer's Market?

While I agree that, yes, prices will eventually come down I don't feel like this suggestion has much to do with the price of the dolls as it does seeing the same repeats day after day after day. I've yet to see a Zasaba or Charlie myself and I'd honestly love to see a bit more variety in what I get daily.

I really like the idea of moving the oldest of lifelike dolls into the carnival shop for "a larger" amount of carnival tokens ... what am I gonna do with all this carnival currency !!? xP

Or a lifelike exchange where you can trade in X amount of dolls for your choice of doll

Doing something over and over again in the face of boredom, which is what some of all y'all are complaining about, is NOT easy. Many people have difficulty with this and this is the source of the alienation of the modern worker.

An eaterpet, in order to get their Achievement, they must also invest time. My own eaterpet is a protoplasmic Experiment blob that tries to eat everything all at once the very instant her pseudopods sneak their way into my Inventory (again!), nevertheless she can't do this.

The time necessary to get these particular Lifelike Doll achievements is longer than that, either because you need to trade your sP which you paid for with time, or because you spent each and every day raffling. Therefore, either not easy or not cheap, or both not easy and not cheap. My argument is valid.
