- oops sorry honey misspell
- sure thing ;)
- Nope. You wanna be my guinea pig? :P
- did you manage to try it out?
I actually have had this happen a few times by accident and a few times on purpose and do you know what was the worst thing about it? you couldn't send it back OR pound it for 30 days.... or you'd get a warning! Silly right? Like "Oops! i accidentally sent you my pet, please hold it for me" and I'm like "GAH MY PET NAME WAS OPEN :C" and you don't wanna be lame on your friends so you keep the pet for them and lose out. Also don't like when they are like "here you know what to do with pets" and send like 3. No, I don't want your pet LOL. so yea, thank you team! been wanting this for years <3 <3
THANK YOU.
I have been suggesting this in the forums for years, so GLAD its finally in place!!! <3 <3 thank you thank you thank you!
While I've never had this particular issue happen to me, I knew there was a very real possibility of people just dumping pets onto someone just because they have a free space available (and the pets couldn't be returned because of the cooldown timer), so I think this feature was very much needed! Excellent update - I also concur with the notion that this is good for double-checking that you have sent the pet to the correct user. ❤️
that moment when you come here thinking: "this was a thing???" (about random sending) and see x-people who thought the same :'>
but yay, great change!
"This means you won’t have a random user sending you pets anymore."
This was a thing?? omg....
Actually, I'm really curious what happens if you do abandon a pet you're trying to give a friend, because that could fail in hilarious ways if it's not handled correctly.
If anyone has some free time and an unused pet slot, I'd love to test it. :P
I just poked around with this feature because I was curious how it worked.
If you try to send a pet to a friend, you can still battle and stuff with it while you're waiting for the other person to accept. You can even abandon it. Is that a good idea? It seems like the pet should be locked and inaccessible the same way that trade lots are (though it should obviously still count toward your pet slots so no one can exploit it).
Wow, didn't know that you could ever just send someone a random pet. Odd.
Great change.
Oh how strange that people would do that! LOL! I guess if something can be exploited there will always be an a**hole that has to do it...
Good, it's about time this change was made. I always thought it was strange to be able to just give a pet to someone without their consent. I never personally had any issues with this though, but I'm glad for the change!
YES. THANK YOU!!!!
Huh. Whoda thunk this was a big enough issue? Never had it happen to me but glad this has happened more or less for hte off chance you accidentally sent a pet to the wrong user. xD;
@ I would have never have guessed this would be a problem, but I'm glad there was a simple solution.
Yay good change.
Someone sent a random pet to my fiance before and he kept it for a while because he felt bad. Both of us were very confused when this happened. So yes, this is a thing.
I'm very glad this update happened. Getting a random pet you don't want is never fun.
Great update!
Seriously, people were randomly sending others their pets? I'd never thought that might happen. Seems like a very weired way to bug someone. o.0 But good to see that won't happen anymore, also the option to set a timer and cancel is a very good idea. :)
Fffhaha, that was a problem people were having? Wow. That's unexpected. This is definitely better, but nevertheless I'm thinking about how one of my favorite stories actually started with the main character, as a baby, being left in a basket at someone's front door. Guess that's not gonna happen now, huh?
Very cool.
Thanks for this!
Hmmm didn't know people would do that. Glad that never happened to me!
This is awesome! Thank you so much!!! :D 👍
Nice update, thanks!
About time! xD I've always worried that I would type the name wrong and be totally screwed.
I didnt even know pet transferring was a thing.
Glad to hear assing security for this
I always wondered about that :o
I never knew this was an issue, but great idea nonetheless.
Yay for this!
Perfect solution thanks!
Nice!
Awesome thank you.
Such a nice idea, i've had strangers send me random E names pets (all good intentions), but I was like "I'm not ready for this!!" XD
Thank you! As someone with 3 open slots who doesn't want more pets I really appreciate this.
I didn't realize that was a thing either...glad to see that there is a mechanism now to stop it! :)
Thank you! :D It's been a long time since I got a random pet shoved on me but I appreciate this all the same
(Also, I did go to the page and you still need to be friends with the person)
So you also changed the 'must be friends' rule alongside then, as well? Neat change.
This sounds neat!
I never knew sending to random people was an option, but still a cool idea
Very strange - I wonder about the folks who'd be like "I'm gonna send this random person one of my pets" haha. I've clearly never had that happen to me though xD
Not huge, but yes, it's a thing!
I mean, this is cool, but were unsolicited pet transfers that big of a thing?
Thats awesome, a very common sense update IMO :)
"This means you won’t have a random user sending you pets anymore." I thought you had to be friends, to begin with? Seems silly to just dump pets on "friends" but I suppose it's not out of the realm of possibility. Either way, it's a nice quality of life update. Thanks!
Woohoo!
For anyone curious about the results: if you abandon a pet before your friend accepts the transfer request, they get an error message saying you no longer own the pet. So everything works ok. :D
(I still don't think you should be able to battle with it or anything, but that's another matter.)
