You can now send pets to your friends! This can be accomplished by going to your <a href=/pets.php>pets</a> page, and clicking on the pet you'd like to send.


Choose the option "Give pet to friend" and you can send it to anyone on your buddy list.


<i>Reminder</i>: There is no pet selling or trading on Subeta. If you are caught selling pets and sending them via this method, you will be frozen. :)

I think it'd help more than hurt. When my friend asked if I wanted her pet Rhode, I was scared she'd be snatched in the pounce when we were coordinating the adoption. It would have been much easier to get her with this kind of thing in place.

Thank you! Now pet transfers aren't as hazardous anymore Now if only I had more pet slots, I could pick up some very nice names this way.

I have always appreciated the fact that there was no pet trading here on subeta so thanks for keeping it that way it's so nice seeing people adopt out pets without seeking personal gain. an amazing person once offered me one of my dream pets, the glade chelon, to adopt just from seeing me post on the news snuggles Sunkist

While I do like this, because it's a safe way to make sure you get the pet in the pound if your transfering pets or receiving pets..I have a feeling people are going to take advantage of this and sell. :/

I am not a fan of this at all for the reasons people have already stated. Trading pets around to gain items/achievements/etc seems counterproductive to what subeta has been working toward with the BC revamp.

Oh dear lord! What an excellent feature! This will make things a lot easier for users, but not for staff I can imagine! xD @ Everyone griping about not being able to sell/ trade pets. God, that is just straight up spoiled, how about you appreciate the pets you have, or save up for one you want? If you -REALLY- want to use your pets as currency just head on over to Neopets, the "Adoption" board is 95% trading. :/ Anyhow...good luck Subeta team on working with this new feature!

This is a very good feature if you're going away for some time (longer than a month, I guess). But I'm wondering there's a "cooldown" for this? But nonetheless, it's great~.

Not a fan of this. I'm not nearly as active as I used to be, but I still dislike this feature, and I'm not afraid to say it. I will tell you why.

This makes it easier for people to take the cheater's way out to get achievements(which I personally don't give a damn about, but c'mon guys, a lot of people work hard for them.) and trade super high level pets for battling events and such.

Also, I have heard the problems of people 'stealing' pets from the pound during a prearranged transfer. I wouldn't consider it stealing. If you are serious about adopting someone's pet, SEND THEM A PM. OMG, LYKE, I KNO ITS SO HARD RITE. If you arrange the time for transfer over a PM, NOT A COMMENT, then it's pretty much fool proof if the other person is in the adoption center and has the pet's name in the search bar, and hits the search button at said time, and adopts AT SAID TIME. Not too hard. I can't being to tell you how many times I've done it. NEVER had a problem.

So yeah. I don't see why this feature was needed, except to encourage laziness among pet hoarders.

I like this idea! This way if a user doesn't want a given pet, but a friend does, they can send it over without risking it in Adopt-R-Us. I got two of my pets through friends, but is STRESSFUL snatching them up in Adopt-R-Us, because you're always worried that someone's going to take it. So thanks, Subeta! Great idea!!

I'm sure they'd be fine with you adding and deleting afterwards :] or maybe it's like the item link and you can go to non-friends too. : D and the friendlist doesn't really let them see anything they couldn't see already so it's not a HUGE threat..... although I do understand where you're coming from .-.''''

and the other people biting Keith '-' Come on guys, really? let's use our brains. the staff is full of intelligent people. it would be pretty damn obvious if you were trying to get achievements, this stuff CAN be monitored you know.... I think it's a great idea personally... abuse would be obvious and this will make adoptions so much safer and save lots of hassle. I missed 'the incident' but I'm sure it wasn't good. anyway I think Subeta's amazing staff is quite capable of watching this and keeping it under control, if it's really an issue they could make it a first offense and just immediately freeze anyone caught abusing it, and if that doesn't work-- all though it should seeing as if you're frozen it would completely kill the purpose and thus eliminate all temptations--- they can always take it away again. let's have some faith in our staff, they work hard for you guys.

The only thing I'm a little iffy about is the fact that usually when I adopt pets out, I'm not adopting them out to my friends. I'm not really fond of the idea of having to add someone who is virtually a stranger to my friend's list just to insure a safe transfer : (

But otherwise omg Keith I love you yes thank you

Neat.

And really, why are there people complaining about not being able to buy or trade pets? :| If you want a certain pet/color, pay for it yourself or adopt one. If your friend gives you something to get that certain pet/color, or just gives you the pet, that's just a bonus. You lazy people. :| Stop acting so spoiled, appreciate what you have, and work for what you want.

hmm as for everything off course it has it pro's and contra's

but wont this ruin the purpose of the new battle colliseum ?? if they now send over a strong pet to eachother, everyone can off course beat every strong opponent ??

or will you have to remove all weapons first and empty youre treasure chest before you can send over a pet ?? will all weapons attached dissappear and will stats be reset to zero if going to a new owner ?? will weapons loose theire earned points in the new battle system if sending it ??

very curious on how it will all go lets hope no war or troubles will come with that rofl

sits back and enjoy the tought

well its new and most ideas are good so congrats to the team for another challenging possibility

So if, let's say, you send a pet to someone, and their happy about that pet so they send one back to you as a thank you, it'd be considered trading and you'd actually get in trouble for that? ... That's kind of lame. :I

Nice feature, anyways. Could use some work probably though.

This is great, but i think that we should be aloud to trade since just giving pets might not last so long. And im thinking that people will creat pets with stupid names and send them just for the fun of it and they would heve to be put in the pound. There is alreday a bad amout of those kinds of pets in the poiund already, its kinda sad. There is also the posibility that someone will be nice and give back a pet since you sent one in the first place and they could be frozen wrongly and that would cause alot of problems.

Selling, i understand that not making it. I agree with it, but i think trading is fair.

I'm worried about it:

I always train my own pets to get my achievements and weapons that we get defeating some opponents like Saggy.

My celinox is my main pet, but I train all my pets to get spare prizes from challengers in the future. To make some profit, of course.

Is we are allowed to send our pets for friends (and received their pets) we can get a lot of prizes (like Lucents). In my opinion it isn't fair with people who don't have tons of BCers friends.

but at the same time is not fair withdraw the prizes. As I said before, some players train hardly all your pets to make some profit

Well... I'm not sure if you'll understand my point...

So --- is it considered TRADING when you give all of your pets except one, to a friend, so you can get the ONLY ONE achievement and they send them all back to you? @ Keith @ Lugia

After the disgusting boards on the bragging and complaining chats lately where people are harassed for getting a pet from the pound I am glad they made a transfer system. I sitll believe though, the pathetic people who were harassing people who got a pet FAIRLY in the pound before as it was free game should be ashamed of themselves and should have gotten at least a warning for harassment as it is disgusting who some of those people were posting. I loved this site, and once I read those boards, and saw how NASTY a lot of people are, it really changed my oppinion of this site.
