Well, CSC is...kinda high right now. And not everyone has real money to convert to a game currency. So I suggest adding or changing a few achievements to have CSC credit cards as prizes. This could occurs for plushie and beanbag milestones (500, 1200, etc) as well as wearables. Maybe have CSC cards as a achievement prize for completing a plot step! That be'd fun! What does everyone think? I think this should be taken into consideration because the 100 CSC achievement for connecting to Facebook is broken right now. :(
P.S. Just move this it's in the wrong forum area! Thank you!

Giving away free CSC has little to no impact on the prices. it's not hard to purchase CSC with sP if you do your quests daily.
support for fixing the one achievement if it really is broken.
How many days of doing quests do you need to buy CSC? Like 250, 500, and 1000 for instance?
[tot=PiplupMagby34]
with a GA I make 4-5m without selling the items if I do all of the quests, so without a GA I'll assume it's like 2.5-3.5m roughly - without selling any of the items. Right now CSC is 8.5m per 100 give or take, I've seen it cheaper lately but we'll just say 8.5m per 100. so that's like 3 days for 100, about a week for 250, two weeks for 500. it's not cheap by any means, but it's attainable without buying it with real money.
People should always prioritize what they want from the cash shop too, it seems like a lot of people feel the need to buy everything. as much as I'd love to get csc from achievements (really I would, it would be nice) I don't see it happening, and it wouldn't really impact the prices of CSC at all.
btw the piplup on your HA is adorable :)
Thanks for the HA compliment! I agree with you about the cash shop thing; I'm not sure what makes the CS items so "special" or different from other items. I personally prefer to save up my CSC for pet slots, autotraining, and potions (Angelic obviously).

CSC is buyable with sP so there's really no need to add 'real money' to the discussion.
It seems a bit much for regular achievement prices. The highest regular achievement prices (excluding "spending lots of sP" achievements f. e.) are about 5-10M and you can only get them from their achievements.
I have nothing against 100 CSC as an achievement price, it wouldn't really change anything. The CSC cost inflated over the last two years and it won't deflate due to so many great CSC-only things to buy.
But 100 CSC is an easy to sell item. It's an easy 8.8M if you sell at the right time / over night.
I can only see an item like this be an achievement price for something that takes effort or supports the site in any way.
And I can't think of any achievement were this would work. I guess they could give it out for plots but everyone online participates and it'd just be a free 8M to every user.
Maybe if they'd add it to some sort of 'Delete 10,000 items' achievement it could benefit the site by making junk more expensive and getting rid of millions of unused items.
I suggested this because some achievement prizes are cheap in user shops. You could just buy the items and bypass getting the achievement altogether. :( Maybe new achievements need to be added in order for this to work. I have some suggestions:
Angelic Lover: Have 3 or more Angelic pets, 500 or 1000 CSC Toy Collector: Have all the Nostaglic Toys in your Inventory; 500 CSC Medal Buyer: Buy 10 or more GA medals; 500 CSC
And again, CSC could be given to users who complete a plot step. I don't think anyone would mind that. :) Or maybe award some (like 1000) for getting and maintaining a high game score for a period of time?
[tot=PiplupMagby34]
The Medal Buyer would work well, I think. But then you'd spend 1500 CSC just to get 100 CSC? I think buying a medal once or activating a gold account once would be enough. It encourages people to try out a gold account, especially if they get 100 CSC back for buying the first time.
For the trophy award: I'd think that would work with monthly award for the top 3. Like they'd get an event on April 1st saying 'You got (2nd/3rd) highest score for X in March! You won 50/25/10 CSC!' I wouldn't keep the CSC award too high for this as you could get a high score for several games. Just a little encouragement to keep on playing the games. (Though this doesn't have anything to do with achievements...)
I really don't think we need more than maybe a 100 CSC reward for an achievement, but I wouldn't mind getting CSC for achievement prizes (although I agree that it probably won't affect the prices much). And I don't think we need CSC rewards for buying things (GAs/Angelic Potions) in the Cash Shop.
I think more than 100csc for an achievement is overkill unless it's an huge achievement like "Have 50 pets" (but in that case a free pet slot totem would be more fitted) or "delete this 500mil item".
And giving csc away doesn't instantly bring down the csc prices. If someone gave me 100csc I would use it instead of selling it and there are probably many people who would do the same.
And then there is the "the site needs to sell csc to survive" argument. The site needs the money: why give it away for free?
