Next year, it's going to be time to go and find a better system than the number of pets.
The way it's split now is not fun, because I have so many friends who have 20 pets or more, and naturally, they all give the same stuff as I do, so I had no reason to go and ToT from them because well, I already give out that stuff.
Number of letters was annoying for a reason, but at least, not all of my friends have 8 letter names? So, I could go and actually get varied stuff from them.
Or, maybe look at other ways of splitting the userbase? First letter of the username, maybe? Or, something else altogether.
Because I didn't have fun, and there is such a big difference in the prices of the cheapest items, vs the most expensive items that are given by narrower groups of people.
That really needs to be rechecked because it's not working.
Yes please. Also, I'm not sure if certain items are weighted or it's just my frustrated impression, but quit it, please.
PLEASE. I've struggled a lot to get all unwrapped candies before the last day.
I was thinking of this as I realized how lucky I was to have a friend with only 3 pets and one with 1. One suggestion I had in my mind was creating 10 different (or whatever because that is probably excessive) pools of loot that are tied to the last digit of a person's user ID number. But yeah, I was just thinking that if pets were to continue the tiers need to be changed next year, especially since they've been changed with the whole GA thing and all that and by next year I feel like 50% of active players will have 15+ pets.

I found myself overwhelmed by users with 10-14 pets (which I also fall into). Given that we now have 10 free pet slots as standard, it skews things a bit. Finding people in the 15-19 range was a challenge. I'd welcome a more random form of grouping.
Also, I think I saw someone saying last year that there's no weighting to ToT item distribution, but I don't believe it. There's always a bunch of stuff that ends up being far less common than everything else for apparently no reason.
I agree completely. I didn't even know it was based off of number of pets but that is a little off. :S
Stop with the weighted items! I havent gotten most of the white zebra tattoos and new hairdos yet :/ but tons of last years food items :C
I agree with the OP and yes stop those weighted items as well.
It does need to be looked at for sure. I feel like ToTing prizes are something that should be fairly evenly distributed, rarity/value-wise and they really really aren't even at all. The challenge should be in being persistent and ToTing for hours on end, not in saving up your sP to buy things b/c there was no chance in hell to get them ToTing.
Especially with the books; they seem to be in the "never appearing" category. I hate how impossibly rare it is to find the ones from last year through ToT. don't get me started on the Patch items next.
Believe me, books will keep their value. Make them more common for ToT and the Patch.

Yes, okay glad it's not just me who has been getting the same few items over and over again. I'm still missing quite a bit of this year's stuff even though I've been going a lot since it started. This weighted items thing is pretty annoying to be honest. :(
I feel like the ToT items are unbalanced.
There are still a few Glow Candy's I need which are all really expensive and then the ones that i did get are dirt cheap. And for me the rarity of the almost resembles the rarity of an actual unicorn: I got 1 and I did a hell lot refreshing on a variety of links. Those white zebra items? Only got them by trading for them.

I'd definitely like to see the weighting of items removed, at the very least. It's probably better for everyone if everything goes out equally.
I wish I knew why weighted items had to show up for Trick or Treat items. It boggles the mind. Stop it please!
Given people think they need to cap out how many pets they can have immediately, agreed. Something needs done because I'm tired of duplicate after duplicate after duplicate.

God yes please. I was getting really annoyed with getting 3875287356 copies of the same god damn things because all my friends pretty much have 20+ pets like me.
I agree very much, both about changing the system of dividing up what is given and the weighted items. I've spent way more time than is reasonable on here ToT'ing constantly since Morostide started, and i have SO MANY DUPLICATES of SO MANY THINGS...yet i just now had to spend like 15 million to buy the last few items i just couldn't get from ToT'ing. That's absurd!
(To be clear, i still had tons of fun and appreciate all the new items very much! But this is an element of frustration the event doesn't need...)
Please destroy weighted items. I have been TOTing at the same person's house, for hours, for the past several days, in hopes of getting Have not seen hide nor hair of that item, but I do have ~18 [item=Black Zebra Stripes Tattoo Sheet (Left Leg)] from that person. Just.... why.
I, myself, would like to give out a better variety of items too. Because thanks to people TOT-ing me, I have gained 48 , 43 [item=Black Zebra Stripes Tattoo Sheet (Right Arm)], 38 etc... And have only seen two times.
