Hey guys!

So, I'm sure you've seen me grumbling about the lack of SB sinks and expressing my worry over what is going to happen to the market. Well, I've been trying to think of ways to help fix this, and I've come up with a few! I will post them here. If you guys can help me think of more, that'd be great! After all, we need to get SB out of the system quicker than we're putting it in, and right now that just isn't happening.

NOTE: I will be valuing GB at 900SB for all suggestions considering the Marking Opacity change is 2GB, yet sold for 1800SB, therefore valuing GB at 900SB each.

Ideas



Hunting Wait Time
Currently if we want to hurry our lionesses and finish their hunt early, we have to pay 1GB. I think this should be an SB cost instead, something around 400-900SB (yes, valuing less than it currently is, I know). I don't see it affecting anything since you would still have to pay for it to finish early, as well as still having to pay to add more hunts if you decide to use this for all 10 hunts.

Exploring: Out of Energy
Right now when you run out of energy in Explore, it links you to the Energy Boost in the Oasis. I think it should instead link you to either the Energy Boost AND the Bone Marrow. This way you can easily pay that little 80SB and keep exploring, and it gets more people to know about it.

Bone Marrow -- by Aventyr || 'Ducky' (#4490)
Currently it is rather cheap and allows us to get 20% of our male's energy back. However, the Energy Boost is 2GB (1800SB if applying the rate mentioned above) and fills it to 100%. Using this as reasoning, the Bone Marrow would be better priced at 250-300SB.

Scar Bundle
The Scar Bundle is one of the items I believe we could also have as a Monkey Business item. It's not important to the game and wouldn't hurt anything to have at an SB price as well, something around 900SB.

Change Lion Name
I think we should have this in the Monkey Shop as well. Having it at an SB price (again, 900SB) would not hurt anything, and the name would still have to be unique.

Special Lioness
Currently we only pay 50SB to attempt to impress her. Considering how special and desired these girls are, I think we should have to pay a slightly higher fee, something like 100-150SB.

EDIT: The items I'm proposing to be in the Monkey Shop would STILL be available in the Oasis for GB, much like the Opacity Changer is in both shops.


Those are all my ideas! Feel free to comment your opinion as well as any ideas you might have!

Pssh stupid me. I was looking at the removal XD
So the opacity changer should be 300sb according to the oasis.

If the energy boost had an sb price in the monkey shop I would buy it!

The only item I ever buy with GB is the Cub sex changer, and occasionally I buy marking applicators and Aging stones if I'm super desperate to age an heir.

I think if maybe some of the GB items also had an sb price like the Opacity changer has it would certainly help.
I personally prefer to pay 1800sb for an opacity changer compared to 2GB, and I don't see this making a huge effect on GB purchases as many people still prefer to pay the 2GB if GB is their main income on site, plus people will still buy GB to get their hands on the things that they want most in the game.

The only down side to making the energy boost an SB item, would be that it would lower the value on Meat pie's.

Maybe an item that would cost X amount of SB that can give something else?
Perhaps a random stat item from the monkey shop that would give 1-3 stat points to a random stat, it could be something that could only be used on lionesses, or only on adolescents, or maybe an item you can only buy so many times a day?

I think the cub gender changer is too cheap... it should atleast be 3 gold beetles.

I support everything but the name change, hunts, and the bone marrow . Bone marrow is fine as priced and name change honestly is to, people just need to think more when naming lions .

I don't really support for the reasoning that I don't want to pay that much for stuff.

Especially the bone marrow.. it's one-use, once a day, and only fills 20% which is not much at all. ._.

But paying SB for things is the only way to get it out of the system and to prevent the price of things, such as GB, from rising higher and higher as it has been.

The bone marrow price is just a ballpark guess and I am open to different opinions on pricing for it.

I think if the bone marrow gave more like 50% and still had the once a day use it would be much more desirable, people would buy it for sure (I know I would) and the sb price bump up could be 250sb? That would sink 500sb back in from two accounts (for those players with two accounts)

Nope. I struggle just letting go of 50SB just to impress the special lioness. Or even 10SB to buy food.

Even if it means I have to go exploring a lot., Even if I would have to go to the point of trading away GB for SB, this sounds like an amazing idea!

I support ^^ Sb needs to have better value c;

No support from me. Plain and simple.

Hunting Wait time
I get that waiting can be frustrating and that having to pay gb so that you don't HAVE to wait is even more frustrating, but personally, I still wouldn't use the button. I like the wait.

Out of Energy
I don't mind taking the time to click 'explore' and then 'monkey business' just to get to the bone marrow as it doesn't take that long to do. And it's just an extra link so while it would give people a cheaper item to boost their lions energy, if you have the patience and just "wander" around the site, it doesn't take too long for your energy to come back c;

Bone Marrow
Heh. No, just.. no. I've bought Bone Marrow before and I like the price. If it were to change, I don't think I'd ever buy it again.

Scar Bundle
No opinion mainly because I have never bought the scar bundle before and probably never will

Change Lion Name
I don't think this should be added to the MB. Why? Because if you have the patience to save up your sb, you can sell it to another player for the 1 gb that it costs to change your lions name in the oasis. I have personally only used that feature once and that was to change my side lions name from Nightstar to Astennu on the day that I was giving him a new look.

Special Lioness
I don't think this price should be changed. Yes, they are special and very much desired, but once obtained by whoever manages to impress them, their special features seem to spread quickly. I attempt to impress the lioness when I see one that I like. If it doesn't have anything that I like, then I don't pay and I don't attempt to impress her. As I'm sure others do the same thing. Like with the Bone Marrow, if the price were raised, I would never attempt to impress a special lioness again because I honestly think it would be silly to do so in the first place.

--

And that.. that is my thoughts on the matter. I probably won't answer again as I'll more than likely forget about this thread. If you wish to continue a healthy debate, then please message me.

I like the idea or some of this stuff, but really dislike the idea or the Special female, they're a very very low chance you'll even get her, so why pay more for that very very very low chance?
