This is a suggestion about December's currency, Stink Bugs!

The drop rate in explore is pretty low :) I understand that we don't yet know the rate from receiving them from bundles, but I think the current explore drop rate is a bit discouraging!

One thing I noticed is that there are several event encounters that don't give StinkBugs at all-- my suggestion is that more encounters for this event drops Stink Bugs, even if it is just 1 at a time like November's encounters.

Encounters that DON'T drop STB:
-- Albino Zebra
-- Albino Gazelle
-- Albino Crow
-- Albino Lion Elder
-- Albino Rhino
-- Cheap Cubs *
-- Apedemak (Fight)
-- Mandrill Vs Snake *
-- Evil Lion *
-- Albino Gorilla & Kitten *
-- Smelly Lion (Fight)
-- Falling Snow *
-- Snowflakes *
-- Albino Hyena
-- Shark Lion
-- Felis *
-- Jaguar
-- Laharu *
-- Wenet *
-- Wolf *
-- Goose

* means the encounter doesn't give you ANYTHING, the others at least give exp or imp or whatnot.

This is going off of the December Event Guide-- I will remove ones that I see actually do drop STB as I encounter them. But as you can see, that is the majority of Decembers encounters, and they don't even drop the december currency??

Note-- I am not saying adding Stink Bugs to every encounter; if even just a few were given rewards, that'd be nice.

2019 got a gifting incentive, so I expect to not get as many poop/stb bundles this year.



This suggestion has 789 supports and 9 NO supports.

support 10000%! i chat, make threads, respond to threads, and i gather quite a few bundles from it, and in my 4 years on doing this event, i still have nowhere near as many StB as i'd like. exploring is almost pointless to try to make your StB income, ive been ridiculously active for exploring the past few days, and ive gotten a total of 40StB, and ive used over 20 energy bars, easy.

Supported! Especially with new decor and applicators in the shop! This event desperately needs an overhaul, but increasing the drop rate of stink bugs would be an amazing bandaid for this year.

I'm gonna have to not support, yea it sucks, but it keeps the items valuable and the gifting of poop gives stink beetles, which doesnt happen in other events.
Less of explore ones because of that really..

It doesn't always give stink beetles though and users shouldn't have their currency count be at the mercy of other users and then further at the mercy of a random RNG roll. If I put the effort in, I deserve my currency.

And it's just dumb that most of EVENT encounters dont give you EVENT currency. That's not true for literally any other event.

Supported! It is odd that December is the only month where we can't earn event currency in Explore. Or at least we can only earn a very small amount while most event encounters do not reward any.

"the gifting of poop gives stink beetles"

Eh, pretty unfair to have to rely on other users wanting to lose karma for your currency count. And it just means that the users doing really high value poop raffles are the ones that can afford the pricey stuff. Whereas if I wanted to blow hundreds of GB on energy boosts, despite it technically making the site money (cuz someone had to buy the gb, even if I didn't), I'd get way fewer StB.

Currency out of bundles last year wasn't spectacular either, this'd be a good way to bolster it.

Support, and I agree with what Bezthiel said above. I'm not particularly chatty and not everybody is going to want to poop as it lowers karma. That means I have to rely on explore and it's a pretty woeful experience every year in that I'm only going to be able to afford one or two things by the time it ends.

I cannot tell y'all how stressed I am having to rely on other people for currency..
It really makes the event a whole lot less fun, I don't want to have to worry about how many stink bugs people decide to leave me.
So support!

It's such a weird setup for December.

Not only are the encounters rather rare (100% energy, and I only got 2 event encounters) but most of them don't give any currency at all. It's been like this every year-- while I understand it is nice having the apps more rare than other months, it really is a bit extreme.

Hopefully things get tweaked this year.
