1. No more minions. They are really annoying
2. More essence from nurturing. 1 every 50 would be much less discouraging.
3. Reserved Sales. Reserving pets for players would be so much less risky.
4. Player pet auctions. Players should be able to auction their pets off without using the forums.
That's all.... thanks for listening(reading : P)

1- Not sure what that means.

2- I'm fairly certain that idea has been shot down by Krin at least twice.

3- We already have this; go to 'manage pet', and set to 'sell to user ID.' Each player has a user ID on their profile and in their profile link, copy-paste this into 'sell to user ID' and only that player can buy that pet if you put it on sale.

4- This can also be done via PMs, but that's about it. Auctions like these are player-run and hence in the forums for a reason- if we had constant auctions going, it'd cause lag plus quite a bit of confusion.

Kitten404 expressed my feelings on 1 and 3.

For 4, I agree that an automated auction system could be convenient, but I don't know if it would be possible on this site.

I have more input on 2 since my dumb self has been tracking nurture essence data for like three years.

I cannot support essence drops becoming so frequent. In my data, I've learned that essences can drop almost back-to-back, or with days and thousands of nurtures in between. It's all just RNG. But on average I get an essence about every 5000 nurtures, which really isn't that bad?

Most regular essences on broker go for 15k-50k gold, depending on species, supply and demand and all that, so even if they don't drop for you, they're fairly easy to buy. You're still a newer player, but you'll find that as you get further in the story and start building up your account, 50k isn't really that hard to get. Making essence drops literally 100x more common would absolutely tank prices, oversaturating the market to a point where they'd be worth nothing.

on 4, a dedicated pet auction house is something Krin has mentioned as something he intends to do eventually (when he gets to it. Someday. Maybe we'll see it be the time we're all 100)

on 2, low drop rate is intended to keep the value up. Raising drop rate = lowering value

on 3, as mentioned, this already exists

on 1, do you mean... the nutcracker minions? they can be annoying but I'm pretty sure they have a better drop rate for fest items than pets and hey, it's nice to be able to murder things and not have to worry about checking the rarity (and boy, if you hate them, just wait until you meet the water sprites, hoo boy)
