Alright. We all know the economy is kinda bad for lions right now. And besides for killing/nature reserving/chasing lions, we don't really have a way to remove lions from the economy, outside of them dying. And no one really wants to kill a "valuable" lion, because they could sell it instead. Only right now, lions aren't really... selling. Hybrid prices have tanked and are going to continue to tank, some mutations are barely worth it anymore, and rosettes have over saturated the market.

What if there was a potential fix?

I present to you, the Celestial Stone. It's a special stone that gives rewards for lions you bring to it- and in turn, completely wipes the lion from the game. Completely. Currently, the rewards you get don't change no matter the lion you sacrifice- you'd get the same for sacrificing a common base as you would for sacrificing a special base. My suggestion would change this. It would make rewards scale based off of certain lion attributes- like base and mutation status. Probably not markings, as that would be a ridiculous amount of work. As the rarity of the base scales up, so would the rewards given. An uncommon base would give double the rewards, a rare triple the rewards, and a special quadruple the rewards. Or maybe it could be instead of getting one random one, sacrificing an uncommon base could give you two out of the possible four, and so on. For mutations, I haven't settled on how scaled the rewards can be, but it might even be separate rewards, like event currency instead of the normal rewards.

I think this could help revitalize the Lioden economy, because, well, the item economy is booming, but the lion economy is going down faster and faster. By rewarding based off of how the lion's genetics/mutation, it can help clear the market of all the difficult to sell and lions who just aren't selling and people are at the point where they'll take anything, which in turn, devalues lions because people think "oh, i got (base) for 500sb, that means they should all be that price" when the base really goes for 1-2gb or something similar.

This is only a suggestion, so it can be improved. I do realize it's a lot of work, but with the way the economy is going now, it'll be more work to try and fix it by this time next year than it would be to code the changes that this suggestion will, well... suggest. Just think of GachaLife as a possibility of what this economy could become (an extreme example but it's not a sim game so), which got so bad that they had to introduce a third currency. If you don't support, please let me know, I'm open to constructive criticism. I know I haven't been playing Lioden for that long of a time, but a lot of the older players I've talked to have shared the sentiment I have and even encourage this suggestion. Thank you for reading!
