Does anyone else feel September's decor is a bit too pricey? Especially compared to other events, taking into consideration that event for this event is kind of a challenge to get?

Backgrounds I can understand, but why does "Annoying Cub Decor" and "King Cheetah Cub" cost the MORE than an Ochre Gnawrock or GMO Cow?

Considering the challenge of gathering JB, none of these Decors should go over 50 and most of them should be under it considering the rather simply nature of the decor involved.

I myself would love to swipe of the Jewel beetle head and bodywear but...eh. Doesn't seem like it's worth 1/4 or 1/2 the price of a Gnawrock (and only 5 uses? Miss me with that bullcrap!)



This suggestion has 312 supports and 7 NO supports.

Agreed, I've given up on the backgrounds and cub decor completely. Having a simple decor cost not the same as, but more than a breeding item is just ridiculous. Even some of the cheaper decor in the shop is a little too pricey for my liking. Definitely not getting all that I wanted for this month.

I'm not sure why a Scared Leopard Cub decor is twice as expensive as the Arabian Horse Foal when the cub is much smaller. The King Cheetah cub is also smaller than the foal. They should all be priced at 70 JB.

The Annoying Cub decor is at least one that has different cub stages and "grows" with the lion you equip it to. But it really shouldn't be more expensive than a GMO cow or a gnawrock.

Jb is one of the hardest, arguably the most difficult to earn primary event currency. Ignoring the GMO and gnaw, the decor and background prices are absurd by itself.

The fact that they're five use is a smack in the face honestly. If you're going to make them that pricey, they need like 15 uses.

Support for lowering and also evening out prices. There's so many neat decors and backgrounds, it's such a shame that most are currently so expensive (especially in comparison to Gnaws/GMOs) that hardly anyone with a sense of value feels comfortable buying them.

I'm a horse lover and would adore buying some Equine Fields, if only they weren't 180 JB each... for 5 uses. Getting one from trades isn't really an option either; the only one I see listed anywhere is 20 GB, which is about the same or only slightly less than some currently listed Gnaws. That price honestly makes sense due to the steep JB price, but still sucks for anyone who wants one.

I also agree that even if the higher prices were considered reasonable, the difference between some of the decors makes no sense either. As pointed out above, Scared Leopard Cub being twice the price of Arabian Horse Foal despite being smaller and having the same number of uses is really odd. Heck, even the Banded Mongoose is slightly bigger than the Cub and yet is about a quarter of the price. What's up with that?

I think a max decor price of 70 makes sense when compared to other events. Maybe 100 max for backgrounds with lots of uses, but many other events are still cheaper - several Dynamic backgrounds from April are only 50 each, for example.

Again, I really love a lot of the decors and backgrounds, I would be happy to buy plenty, but unless the prices are lowered, it's only logical to skip them in favor of Gnaws and GMOs.

Yeah, I had some kind of real point to make about relative values (not just loling) but I could only find, if I was lucky, one of anything that wasn't a gnawrock. And on the rare occasion I did, it was more than 20gb ...so all that stuff is sooooo high value that it's actually all worthless. No one's buying one of the 250 banded mongooses at 20gb. It's tiny (and cute, sure) and has 5 uses. I'm surprised there are even more than 100; there's a lot of this month's decor that there ... aren't 100. 86 locust swarm anyone? A decor that's been available for years?

Guess our concerns aren't being addressed again this year.

Ah well

Yeah. We need to lower the prices or add more uses to the decor and backgrounds to compensate for the steep price
