maybe it's a bit late for this morostide, but it could be a thing next year? ; v ;

but anyway! i was totally thinking it would be neat to have something/someone (an npc maybe??) who you could give all your pumpkins to and get them back carved!! because i'm lazy and carving them all one by one takes ages |DD it could also charge a fee! so that's an sp sink idea~

if it's a strain on the server it could run on a 'queue' of sorts? as in, say you give them 20 pumpkins and get told to come back in a while so it processes them one at a time

I don't support this suggestion because of the associated achievements, as much as I like the idea behind it.

I can't support it because of the 500 carved pumpkin achievement.. If I and many others did it and invested a lot of time on it, anyone can do..

Carving, feeding or deleting (omg this one) pumpkins all have one point - to be tedious (and to decrease overall number of pumpkins we'd hoard otherwise, but mostly the tedious part). That's why there's achieve for all of that. No support.

Doesn't deleting pumpkins have using quickstock to delete disabled? If it's made so using the mass carving doesn't count towards the achievement then I see no problem with it.

No Support because at best it's unnecessary.

The site doesn't need tons of pre-carved pumpkins, there is no humongous demand for this. Right now if you want a carved pumpkin either of the collections you can put it in, you can just buy it. The other motivation for mass-carve is to get the Achievement without y'know Achieving anything.

At the time the Achieves were created they still weren't enough to stem the tide of pumpkinitude and this is why the whole Fantine donation thingy. Even that has been made easier.

Personally, I'm fine with the idea. Even if we had to manually delete and carve in the past, I don't mind if other users can do it more easily in the future.

Remember when we used to have to copy and paste item names into shop search to quest? Or, how we had to manually check each and every item to frag them? We also could not search our entire account to find out if we had an item either. And, there was a time before wishlists too and you'd have to manually keep track of what you wanted. yuck!

Each achievement is also only worth one point as well. There's no weighting for difficulty or anything.

Just because things were hard in the past is not a good enough reason, to me, to continue with making things difficult in the future. The people that are going for those achievements still have to acquire that many pumpkins to begin with, and that's also tricky and time consuming. You either have to be on to find them or buy a crapton of them! But, that's why I liked manually doing it, since it allowed for more pageviews = more chances for more pumpkins~

Maybe put a limit on how many a user can carve/delete for the day (50~250)? Or, make it a random buff when you grab a floating pumpkin or when you're ToTing? That way, not everyone can do it all of the time and it'd be a perk for being on and playing the game.

No support, some things are intentionally tedious, and this is one of them
