This has probably been suggested before, but I think there should be a limit to the number of travels you can store. It's kinda annoying how some people buy out all of the travels when they turn up, and no one else has a chance to get them. Then they sell them to people at a very high price. I once asked if someone would trade a poppy plains for 10,000 EC, they said no way, I have to pay them 100,000 EC. 😋 No. Anyway, this will prevent 'hoarding' of travels and allow others a better chance of getting travels FROM the TA. The max would be around 70.

Either that, OR when there are for example, 6 of a travel in the TA you can only buy 3 of that travel.

@james-bond I'm sorry, I don't agree. I'll just leave this at that, because I don't want to start an argument.

@blackdeathkitty Sure, but the birdy in the tree tells me that you say no just for the sake of saying no, because of previous experience.

@james-bond I don't think there should be a limit. What if someone simply wants to buy all those travels for themselves? People should be allowed to store travels for later use. I don't approve of people mass-buying and selling for a super-high price, but they should have the freedom to do so.

Also, if you're still looking for Poppy Plains I have one for 10k.

@sunshinecat if someone wants the travels for themselves, they will use them, not just store them. There will be a max of about 70. 70 is ALOT, especially if you have sides, but people may be keeping all their EC on one account, like me. Why do you think people should have the freedom to mass buy so no one else has a chance? People don't have the freedom to do anything and everything anyway. No, I'm no longer looking for Poppy plains. 😃 Ps. Nice Flaren, looks great on the travel. XD

@james-bond True. I wouldn't really mind a maximum of 70 or so, because not many people would buy so many travels for themselves. Only people selling would buy that much. Just not too low so that's it's very restricting ^^

@sunshinecat Yeah, I don't mend people selling for a fair price, but I don't like people ripping off and taking them all just to sell.

@james-bond Ummmm... I don't like to make enemies, and your previous suggestion has NOTHING to do with this.

@blackdeathkitty Well there's no point in just saying 'no'. It doesn't further the discussion.

@james-bond


It might not, but it gives Ian a chance to see how many people agree and how many don't.


This was exactly what I was trying to avoid... >.<

I'm sorry, I hold no grudge against you. I'm just putting out my opinion. I don't want to make enemies.

@blackdeathkitty Neither do I, but I'd actually like to hear why you don't like this suggestion. 😊

This may make me sound like a jerkface to you then. Because frankly, I make most of my EC by restocking travels. it's not hard, anyone can do it. Seriously, I restocked poppy planes from my ipad with crappy internet, not that hard. I think that if people are willing to sit there and wait for the travel shop to restock, then they should reap the benefits of selling their travels. I have over 70 travels that I sell. I sell my poppy planes for 50k usually, which is quite a big profit, but I can do that because people WILL PAY. It's just like on any other website. Take neopets for example, some people restock all day and become extremely rich. Some people are going to play games and not be as rich. I don't know, this seems like you're trying to break the social standings. Which would benefit the not wealthy and it would make the wealthy unhappy.
I hope that didn't come across as rude or unclear. It's late here. :*

@james-bond

Pretty much what @savy839 said.


I also don't really understand how limiting the amount of travels that you can buy changes the amount of EC that people re-sell.

@blackdeathkitty
The only way I can think that it would is because some people who have 70 travels would need to get rid of some for them to be able to buy more. This would probably mean a lot more selling cheap in order to get rid of some travels and clear up more space.

@savy839 I'm still not sure I understand...

@blackdeathkitty
Sorry, as I said, it's late. xD
So if this 70 travel limit was implemented, we have people that have 70+ travels already right? Most people with that many travels. Don't just have 70 poppy plains. They probably have some not as rare travels too. So in order to make room for more poppy plains (rarer travels) they may want to get rid of their less rare travels say... clouds or something. Right now, clouds sell around 15k if someone's buying them from a user. But because this person with 70+ travels needs to clear up room fast, they'll be willing to sell their Clouds for 10k in order to attract a customer quicker. I don't know if that's exactly how it would happen, but I can see that being a possibility.

@james-bond
im sorry, but im gonna have to disagree as well. i love all my travels, and i gotta say, i worked hard just to get alot of them. Alot are (for me) just too pretty to use, and i have alot just incase of future use. Cause its not like i can just get the travel i want when i have the creature, so i like to save my travels untill i really need it. Nor do i hoard though, i do like to give some people free travels, or give discounts.
