another yikes from me

i'm kinda disappointed that this wasn't implemented because it was so many people besides just me who agreed. Not even just a few people, it was a bunch.
Not to mention the 380+ supports.

Apparently. I think it may have been the person who suggested the item though? Regardless, yeah it's kind of upsetting. I guess I just want some input from mods, whether or not they're actually considering it at this point.

This is bull crap. This has like 350 people wanting it and one person gets to change the price of something else and screw it up for everyone and admins did it for no reason

Also it makes 0 sense to add it this month, what about November? Why add another valuable, expensive item in hard to earn currency?

To be fair, admins go by both comments and supports.

(Though this has a lot of comments but I can't really speak for admins so)

See I don't mind the price of the Jelly, I get that it's to maintain the price of the Jellyfish from slots--my issue is that it was affordable, some people bought it, and now it's much higher. So basically a bunch of people got it for cheap, and now everyone else has to work 3x as hard for it.

Honestly my main priority is the base applicators right now.

The jellyfish is just a fun item that has no effect on breeding so it's last on my list.
But if they lowered god apps people could get at least one of both smh

Well, I'd personally like to stock up on as many Canopic Jellyfishes as I can, which means RIP for literally any chance of me getting one of the original bases this year, or possibly even future years.

I mean, if I had joined in June 2018 (which I couldn't do anyway tho) then I could have gotten two of the original bases *completely for free* - compare to now, as someone struggling with real-life issues that make it a struggle to even rollover and feed my lions*, much less battle grind, even just a single one seems functionally unobtainable to me.

Maybe if I logged in + completed the quests + completed as many battles as possible, EVERY day without fail, AND didn't buy any Jellyfishes, then I'd have a better chance like many more "serious" players do, but sadly that's not the case for me, and I'm sure I'm not the only one?

With all that in mind, the unannounced price change for the Jellyfish *after people already stocked up on the lower price* is just...

(*Clarification: my chronic illness severity can change from day to day, so I can happily play all day Monday and then suddenly barely have the strength to even feed my lions by Tuesday. The past few days [I think? tracking time is hard x_x] it's been trending towards the latter type, so my progress has dramatically slowed.)

Wish I had known about it when it was 50 because f me I guess. I’ve given up on the apps, just buying the decor I want now.

Someone in chat brought up a valid point about how the extremely low price of the jellyfish could negatively impact the market. The price was then changed, no different than someone getting a desirable item/lion in TC/Branch for a lower than average price.
The tur. jellyfish in the oasis is similar and cost 5GB. The ability to not only freeze but bring back a dead lion shouldn't be something cheap and easy to get when taking into account the cost of similar items. Even then the price isn't insanely high or unachievable.

As Xy said the high tier rewards are supposed to be hard to obtain requiring time and effort. Unfortunately, not everyone has the same amount of time to spend collecting beetles but that's a variable that can't always be compensated for without blowback. The shop bases this year were the free rewards last year so the applicators are already very uncommon/rare. 500KB while high(seriously 400KB would be better) preserves their value but is still honestly obtainable. 150KB for the C. jellyfish is also easily obtainable and preserves its value. I understand why they're priced like they are and how dropping the price could negatively affect the economy. They're supposed to be rare and expensive the same way combo bases are more valuable than NCL bases.

I still agree that the base price should be lowered to 400KB or increased amounts from quests or battles. Even if it was an RNG roll for the amount of KB dropped in snake battles or the harder the daily quest the more KB you got. Something that has the potential to offset the cost for those with less time without directly giving those with a ton of free time an unfair advantage.

Hopefully, I worded this correctly I'm bad with words.

Edit: I'm bad at explaining so here's another example.

Craft only decor, for example, cost more than decor for sale in MB. One is harder to achieve therefore it will be more valuable. Event only decor is only available for a limited time so it will cost more than craft only decor. The same with the value of certain markings. Breed only markings will be more valuable than a marking you can get from an applicator because they're harder to obtain requiring more time and effort. Muties cost more than regular lions because again they are harder to obtain. Not everyone has the time or money to achieve things like desirable bases, muties, and decor which is what gives them their value. Same with the base apps and C. jellyfish. If everyone and their brother was able to get dozens of the apps or C. jellies then they wouldn't be worth much which kills the economy. Look at bases that were once desirable but ended up flooding the market because they were so easy to get, they aren't worth much.

This is a good situation to apply the laws of supply and demand.

Maybe keep the price where it is BUT
-Completed quests give 15 kb instead of 10
-Snakes defeated give 3 kb instead of 2
-A few non-battle encounters that give 1-5 kb each
