In what sense does it make to take a item that sells for 3m(I am 99% sure 3m is correct) in the MC - then to take that said item lower the stats it gives as a Stat Booster and to raise the price? [ it also is used to make Genetech stuff ] Please someone tell me the sense of that? Cause I am just baffled! -_-

For a sP sink, 3m is good. I know that I personally have spent alot of sP on them, in the past when they were in the MC and was planning on spending a bundle of Cash for CSC, b/c I liked the range of what it gave. 2-4 of Strength, DefenSe, and Speed. So for 3m, I could get all 2's or 3's or 4's, but also a mix of them: Like 2 Strength, 3 defense and 4 Speed.

SO: what sense does it make?

Peace!

They obviously want to increase the price and rarity of boosters.

Idk, I don't like the changes being made to boosters, and I think it dissuades newer battlers from doing their best to catch up to the higher pets.

If they want to stop pets from capping too soon, there should be a set limit on when you can boost. Like no more boosting once you hit t13 or something. Everything else just makes it harder for newer pets.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess knows whats up

Ah is that the case?

They could always just buff up those boosters...

At least they are giving us warning this time. cough potion of loyalty cough

In what planet does having a 3m booster that gives 6-9 stats with a 1 hour time limit for an unlimited period of time seem like a logical idea?

That's really what I'd like to know... I'm surprised it's going to stay a booster at all, considering y'know.. we're not supposed to cap in a week and pretty sure that's a capping golden ticket?

PS: Something tells me gauging the price on the extremely deflated tomes isn't going to have the aimed reaction... if anything it's just going to have those nerfed/changed too (because the 1% chance of getting a tome isn't bad enough).

Sorry, but I dont care if it makes it harder on the newer pets to play "catch-up". Newer pets have it way way easier,then those of Us that have been around back before Auto-trainer and decreased EXP costs and whatnot. Why should older pets have to take the load? and are you serious about no boosting if your pet is T13? o.O How else is a T13 Pet going to cap or even just gain stats? With EXP costs the way they are?

Now ( and I dont like having limits put on stuff ) but I could see if they made it where a Pet [ no matter it's Tier btw ] can only gain an X amount of stats a day.

That is very true ( so thank you and ), but that was different BA that did that. Boosted their pet and then nerfed a bunch of boosters. =/

Please read my last paragraph to , as a possible solution. :)

The reason Tomes became low priced was because of the amount given out in Quentin Quests!

Yea I don't get or see how this works....lower stats and raise the price? why would we want to buy these once this is done

making a limit on X stats a day isn't a bad idea. I was just throwing that out there as a possible solution. you can't just not care about other pets though, since you're heavily biased one way anyway.

it's dumb though trying to slow down pets from reaching the new cap. if someone gets to the new cap, they can complain all they want. it's their fault for going so quickly. they're going to complain no matter what, so trying to slow pets from reaching the cap by nerfing boosters overall is just going to cause more people to complain than the few people who reach the cap and are bored.

I'd be fine if they just removed them from the MC all together and just kept the scales as battle loot from the Effigies.

I'd rather see this done than any sort of limit on how many stats a pet can gain per day. I don't think that kind of restriction would go down well.

I remember a time way back when it was H e double hockey sticks to get more than 3m for a tome and to the second: I know I will not be buying them, well unless they add intel into the mix. ;)

I know with some of the changes years back, I almost hit the Disable account button, b/c I felt it was limiting... so if they were to limit stats a day, I would groan at the thought, but if it makes it where older pets are not taking the load - Then I will deal with it. It's not that I dont care about other pets, its just that I am sick and tired of the "let newer pets play catch-up" tune. -_-

Yea, if they want to make a mad dash to cap - power to them and to be bored. :P

I wouldnt be adverse to that solution. :)

But then I can see people complaining that they can not make the Genetech combo's because Scales are too expensive. :'(

newer pets shouldn't be given a much easier path, but they should have an opportunity to catch up to some extent. there needs to be a draw for new people to come into battling. One of the staff members said before it's just not popular to a large amount of people and they aren't sure why. if there was more interest in battling, it would get more attention from staff with possible more events and what not. I think drawing more interest would help solve the over supply of boosters instead of cutting the rates on all of them from everywhere.

but like Virus said, I think that would make the most sense to just remove them from the MC.

This move makes sense. Insane pretty much already explained it. And the ball already got rolling with Quentin, then Shinwa.

80/20 rule. 20% of the people own 80% of boosters. 20% buy 80% of the boosters.

The price raise only affects a small group. Most people dont buy boosters. Even less buy MC boosters (especially last 2? years). Most are content using what they can get for free (Shinwa/Quentin). Outside of the 20% and people boosting in spurts, no one is really buying.

I'm addicted to tomes, but don't really use scales. Still, I'm not a fan of nerfing boosters/raising booster costs across the board. It definitely makes things intimidating to newer or even middle level battlers. What's the point of catering to the top 200 battlers when there's little hope of newer battlers ever getting there? I say this with a tier 12 pet in my pocket, btw.

^^Thank you and hallelujah!

Some battlers now do buy boosters due to one way of upping there stats and due to the EXP PTs being costly and some unable to train either.

It impacts everyone if they rich or not and what is rich amount these days lol

I don't plan on capping in a hurry

Quote By River: At least they are giving us warning this time. cough potion of loyalty cough And to the post that said it was BAs.

Um, that was Keith not the BAs. Keith made the original stats for potion of loyalty and he was also the one that nerfed it. BAs found out about both its original stats and the reduction at the same time users did.

I second the people that say leave the scales as loot from Cursed Effigies and remove them from MC all together. If they want a booster in the MC, make something new to live there. Then people will know what they are buying from the get go and the people that have hoarded scales won't lose out.
