I've been working on my pet Hoarder, and I currently have shy of 700 items in his TC, and spots enough for 1000. I have a TON more items in my vault earmarked for Hoarder, though (~1,000). What do you guys think? I want to balance between 'holy cow that's a lot of items' and being able to scroll down to the bottom.
As far as I'm concerned, no TC is ever too big! My biggest TC is 1.6k so I'd probably try for something totally insane, like 3-5k for a hoarder pet. But that's just me and I fully admit I'm a ridiculous TC-holic. People with restraint would probably go for a lot less, haha.
If I had the funds and patience (and the pet Hoarder) I'd go for 15000 individual items. In memory of the hoarder achievement. And to see how much Subeta tc slots can take.

Hoarder's profile is fabulous! Since the TC is four items per row, I'd say 1000 items would probably guarantee plenty of scrolling, and give the "that's a lot of items" effect. Though of course, for the sake of the pet's name, the more items the better!

- Hahaha. I looked at your pet pages and the one with 1.6k items has my browser struggling (not sure if it's the images or something else). Maybe I should check latency with 1k items and see from there. - Oh my gosh. That would be 700mil for the extra TC slots alone. - Do you think you'd scroll to the bottom if there were twice as many items as there are now? (did you scroll to the bottom this time?)
Yeahhh... that's the main issue. Monster TCs can be brutal on certain computers/tablets and probably a lot of phones. So that might be a factor if your browser struggles too much or if you want to enter the Spotlight or something like that.
I don't have anyone around 1k, but Oompa Loompa is a bit under 1.4k with no layout if you want to see how your browser does with that.
