I do not understand why the auto training feature requires csc and sP. this isn't a feature or item that is found by going through the cash shop so why require cash shop credit for it? So many items are pumped into the cash shop daily so it puts a lot of strain on the availability of csc. Why not make the price of auto training (price per class + some convenience fee) but only charge sP? I think it would encourage more people to auto train more pets so they don't have to choose between auto training with csc or saving up for bigger purchases. It will also open up the market to include new battlers or new users in general that can't easily earn csc but can easily earn sP.

Thoughts?

There is nothing wrong with autotraining being a cash shop feature, like autopricing.

But auto pricing is a ga perk right? This is not a ga perk but simply asking for two different currencies. I view it as more of a feature like the pet resort and maybe that's why I question the addition of csc.

I actually prefer features costing CSC to items costing CSC, so I've always liked the CSC payment for autotraining. It does suck that the ever increasing price of CSC has resulted in more people being reluctant to autotraining, but I don't think the answer is to just remove it. The fact of the matter is that no one needs to autotrain. It's not like items if you're a collector. Autotraining is just a nice little bonus and not being able to doesn't stop you from training and, with a cap now set in place, it doesn't hold you that far back.

Autotraining is virtually stats for doing nothing. Training in general is that now that we have BQs which earn us stats. So an sP only option would just mean people with tons of sP would easily be able to get to T5/6 before anyone else, which they can already do by purchasing boosters with sP.

There's really no need for a change. You can easily buy CSC with sP. 2.25M seems fair for the training that you would miss due to school, work and sleep. Autotraining only seems to be useful at the start to fasten the process though, or for players that are willing to spend every sP they got on training. Or players that simply don't mind it. I'm personally too cheap to autotrain, but it shouldn't become drastically cheaper. Like 2.25M for 50 stats at the start is really cheap. Maybe they could decrease the price when it would only bring like 5 extra sessions?

I agree that it should not be cheap to do but more of a fixed price or at least something that could be at a fixed rate. Csc tends to be a volatile market with huge spikes during the year because of Black Friday or the release of things that cost hundreds of csc.

Maybe that convenience fee is 2 mil sp, but at least it is a fixed price. When you charge that price with csc what started at 2 mil becomes 3 mil for convenience the following year and 4 mil the year after that as prices keep inflating.

what about making auto-training cost sp only but make it a GA feature? would probably be more incentive for people to buy gold accounts while still having a csc cost(from the GA itself)
