Refillable pets

[terminator]

I understand that pets die because people would abuse that if they didn't, they could non stop grind without caring about their HP, abusing the game. My idea is to have a refill pet option that operates forever, but has a 2 Day Cool Down between each death, such as Clan Cool down. This could be implemented into normal pet option or added like a premium pet option.

As a person that "must" use game gold to purchase a pet ==>> I love this idea.
And I can see where people that are on a "limited budget" would as well.

BUT

As a reasonable and responsible person (stop that chuckling and outright laughter in the background) I have to say I don't think that it will happen.

Compbatant is making money by selling pets, making immortal pets would not be in his best interest.

In my interest yes, in his no.

We all just mentally added "sort of" to the "reasonable" comment, and with a straight face too!

I do agree though that this could be a pretty big chunk of income taken away if pets were more or less "forever" items. Along those lines you could consider some sort of cheaper "renewal" option so people could get their pets back for cheaper possibly.

Aside from money this could create some issues where players want to replace dead pets right away, want to kill their pets and get a different kind, or have a house with multiple pets and want to swap out one set for another.

Interesting concept, but I just see potential issues.

I see your point, perhaps a pet bundle would make more sense? You know how buying 10 lvls is just the cost of 9 lvls? Something similar with pets, you bought 6 pets at cost of 4 pets etc.

With game gold I could NOT afford a 6 for 4 pet package.
But I can see it happening ... "maybe" ... someday, do not think the R$ buyers would pass on the savings to game gold buyers though, considering what I just saw at Map 0.0:

Sell pet 6b

Scary part is there are new people that will buy at that rate.

Pets sell for 2b

KUDOS RED!

... and I thought "shyster" of people I saw selling for 3 to 3.5b

Assuming some sort of "bulk pet" discount it'd likely be more like one free or "5 for the price of 4.5," give or take. Still, it's the concept.

As far as the gold price of real money purchases goes, I've noticed the market has trended upwards of late. As much as I appreciate Red Jello saying they cost 2b I don't think that's the basic rate now. It doesn't help when you see multiple people saying they will buy at 4b as that is frequent enough it will not let the market go back down to 2b.

Personally: I think it's a group of people trying to push the price up.
Why would someone say they will buy at 3b when others are selling at 2b
But that's all another topic.

Back on topic

I can see where X for Y is an interesting idea and just might work.

But X and Y will be what comp says it is IF he's game.
