Trading CC in Multiples of 100 -- Not Gifting

crunchyoreo25 • 14 September 2014 at 6:00 PM

I know this has been posted a bunch of times before. But I want to vent about this problem.

I understand why trading CC was discontinued in the first place. That was because it "messed up" the EC system... Trading 1CC for every 100k EC (for example) messed up the "Egg-conomy."

I would like to propose this: we can only trade CC in multiples of 100. Why 100? Well because it's a nice number and you can buy more than just CC travels. You can also trade 500 (100CC * 5 = 500CC) for a creature. I find that not being able to trade CC and only being able to do so for IOUs is frustrating.

Can we please bring back trading CC at increments of 100? I do not like the idea of GIFTING as it will bring problems. TRADING CC is the way to go, whether it be in the TC or Items TC.

Please ping other users and vote on the poll.

I agree with this as well. I liked how you proposed to that we can only trade CC in 100s.

@crunchyoreo25 I also agree with this, though maybe offering CC on lots could be allowed also?

well, I don't really deal with cc much but this idea seems fair.. I'll ping people who know more about cc! C:

Thanks for the post. 😊

@kisamari

You're right. I was unclear in my first post... This is NOT about gifting CC, rather trading (just like EC).

dragonnn • 14 September 2014 at 6:14 PM

I wasn't around here when CC trading was an option, and I still don't know the trade values here. I kinda just look at what people say is the current pricing, and alter my pricing based on what I think.

So anyway, I won't give more input than that, because I kind of just do what I want and it works for me?

Although a trade center for CC would be very convenient, yeah. But the buyers would have to be able to put up pets and items and EC for trade all at once. At least, that's what I trade for. But I guess that might defeat the reason to have separate pet and item trade centers?

(I think I'm missing the point of this thread.)

What do you guys think? Wouldn't trading CC be much more of a convenience than waiting for IOUs? Can you guys please post your opinion, vote on the poll, and ping others? Thanks! 😊

budgie • 14 September 2014 at 6:20 PM

@crunchyoreo25 Oh, well I also wholeheartedly agree with gifting it as well

crunchyoreo25 • 14 September 2014 at 6:24 PM

@dragonnn

My point is that users should be able to trade CC to other users just like a commodity. Currently, CC is traded via IOUs... "I Owe You." It would be much easier for the person getting the CC to have the "freedom" to do whatever he/she wants to do instead of being dependent on the opposite party.

@kisamari

I thought about gifting, but CC should be treated like EC. If everything were about gifting, maybe that would be too free form. What do you think?

Thanks for the ping, dcmaster!

I, too, would like to see CCs transferable again, so that the need for holding IOUs isn't necessary.

I don't, however, agree that 100CC lots would be better. It would push up the prices of things to the next highest 100 level for no real reason that I see. And I don't think that they should be used for offering on lots, etc., as it would farther devalue ECs. I do think that things like freezes, gender changes, etc., should be available for both CCs and ECs. It would help standardize the value of exchange and make it possible to do more critter management for those who love the game but can't use their cash to play it.

@cruchyoreo25
I agree. I suggested this once, but everybody said no. I've always though we should add CC to the trade lots, so I support you 😸

@crunchyoreo25 I agree with this. It would be awesome for users like me who otherwise have no way to obtain their wishlists except through buying CSPs and trading CC for them.

Starling thanks for pinging me.

I didn't have any cc.. ever. XD so I guess this would be good 😊 but can you please explain to me how this works? XD thank yoou 😸

budgie • 14 September 2014 at 6:53 PM

@crunchyoreo25 I suppose so, never thought of it in that way. Something exclusive as CC should stay that way with the people buying it only giving it away for a fair trade.

zero_chaos • 14 September 2014 at 6:55 PM

@crunchyoreo25 @trig @starling @dcmaster

Hi, all! 😊

Thanks for your suggestions! Rest assured that we are currently working on a safe way of trading Cave Cash. Don't quote me on this (I know you all will anyway, though xD), but you can probably expect this feature to be available sometime within the next month. Maybe. No quoting!

Omg, I cannot wait. I hope we are
able to see this soon!

newlife • 14 September 2014 at 7:11 PM

@crunchyoreo25
I would love this. One of my IOUs has not been buying CC and every time I bother them about it, they say they don't have any and to wait next month. This would be extremely nice. I miss the old days when we could gift CC.

lunar • 14 September 2014 at 7:33 PM

@crunchyoreo25
I dont think that this is necessary at all. Ian is making CC items tradable soon, so why do we still need to trade CC?
If I.O.Us, are made, just make sure that the traded user knows what they want.
Just my opinion.

trig • 14 September 2014 at 7:35 PM

@zero_chaos

Thanks for the update. 😊

hippy • 14 September 2014 at 7:53 PM

I think the only thing I have to say on this is that freezes and gender changes, like Granny said should be available via CC and EC. Most adoptables game I play have freezes either completely free or use in-game currency rather than real money. If I remember correctly, Valenth had freezes with in-game currency.

Also, no matter how you look at it, by changing or adding a feature to trade CC, the economy will be changed. You can't have your cake and eat it too. I agree that CC trading should be brought back, but in a way that the community ( us ) can create a guideline to keep the eggconomy from falling into greed.

marlen1994 • 14 September 2014 at 8:02 PM

Hello everyone, @crunchyoreo25

I been rethinking this "Idea" and to be honest this will have so many problems. As a a supplier of CC to alot of traders, i must say that providing the CC as a trading source will MESS UP THE EGG-CONOMY. Understanding that CC will once again rise just like in the old days of being THE MAJOR CURRENCY FOR TRADING. That being said, Ian is working on a daily basis to provide us other alternatives for trading. He is trying to provide us with the CC items of becoming available for trades example : freezes would be able to be sent as a gift to a friend, instead of trading a critter and than freezing it. We the players will have more mobility in our trades. Obviously just like any trade their are risks BUT, Ian and the mods will always be there to help us in any crisis. We have to understand that even in today's "real world life" not alot of people can afford buying CC and that would put 50-75% of the eggcave players at a disadvantage. The players that can afford CC will be basically be controlling everything. Monopoly definition - the exclusive possession or control of the supply or trade in a commodity or service. This could and will happen. just like a lot of traders out their, they target the new and un- knowledgeable people to trade for rare critters. This is happening right now, the only difference is that THE CC remains of the person that's owes someone. The only thing that trading CC will do is provide more of a convince when freezing something, Travels can be traded, CC monthly critters can be traded as well. We win nothing more but 5-10 minutes of our life's. Pleases guys in my opinion this will cause more problems than anything. rethink the major priority that eggcave needs to make this game better. Thank you

@crunchyoreo25

I agree, CC trading would definitely be preferable to the current IOU system.
I think the idea of organised and policed trading, would be much better than the original gifting scenario

kreptacat • 15 September 2014 at 8:16 AM

@crunchyoreo25 I like the idea 😊

mastergemma • 15 September 2014 at 8:44 AM

@marlen1994
I'm probably with you for this. As a pure EC user, I'm a little scared of what will happen when CC trading starts up again.

I'm just happy that I'm not the one deciding how things are going to go with CC trading

spirithawk • 15 September 2014 at 8:49 AM

@crunchyoreo25 I agree. Since we can't trade CC, I'm not even interested in buying it. I don't ever use freezes or any of that stuff in the CSP.

mishababy • 29 September 2014 at 5:06 AM

I am really glad to hear this is in the works. I can't wait for it to be implemented. ❤️

{Side note: Also support gifting it, not just trading it. If someone wants to spend their money to buy someone else some CC for a gift, they should have that option.}
