Transferring stats to other creatures?

Hey guys! 😃
I had this idea, but I'm not sure if it'll be too hard to accomplish, BUT here goes! I had this idea of a new feature where, you can transfer some of a high stated creature's stats into and lower leveled creature to help it evolve? For example, I would transfer a certain amount of clicks or views etc from my last stage Crabbert and transfer that amount into my Weggy, to evolve him. If its too hard to do that, then maybe it could help immortalize a certain creature! 😃
I'm not sure if I explained this very clearly, if I wasn't clear, I'm sorry, I'm very bad at explaining things...

Help give tips? or a few little extra touches to my idea? 😋

@heather519 Cool idea! But would your last stage Crabbert be an egg or other stage?

Problem 1. people would use this to make their creature revert a stage, so the creature would never evolve. This would remove the need of freeze potions and CC would have one less use.

Problem 2. this would make the monthly leaderboards a living nightmare as you would be able to convert all the stats from one creature to another one. It would become a battle to have people view/click/feed your entire cove and then you would transfer it to one creature.

Hmmm....Well when you transfer the stats, you have to be careful to make sure that there are still enough stats to keep it in the same stage! 😃 Or else the transaction wouldn't work! 😋 Its a working idea lol 😊 Still figuring things out lol 😃

@mastergemma Totally agree.
@heather519 Okay.

EDIT: Users can only transfer a small amount of stats to another creature, such as 50-100 clicks/views. And users will not be permitted to reverse any evolution in any creatures, and if the stats would reverse the creatures evolution, the transaction would fail. The stats transferred has to be less than the amount of stats to keep the creature in the original stage to allow the transaction to work. And as of the Monthly leader boards, any creatures that have had a transaction wouldn't be allowed to be listed on the leader boards, for the month.

I hope this change is acceptable 😸 @mastergemma

Sounds too complicated, to be honest.

I like the idea, but the concept would be much easier if it was simplified and a certain criteria was set.

For example:
Creatures must already be immortal in order to transfer stats, and the immortal's stats cannot go lower than 6000.

All immortals' evolutions and frozen stages are final, so they will remain the same, regardless of what their stats will be.

Leaderboards only tallies new clicks/feeds/views, etc. Existing stats won't count since it's just being transferred, not gained via URL and feed button.

There should be a limit to how many times one creature can "give away some of its immortality", and the transfer can only happen between an immortal and mortal creature once a day.

I'd say no, mostly because Eggcave is about the clicking and feeding of creatures to make them evolve. That this will take time and some effort to gain is one of the main points of this whole site and to be able to do so by transferring stats seems kinda cheap to me to be honest.
This is just my opinion 😋

As a note; the click exchange made evolving even more easier, and it only takes a couple of days now to evolve a creature as where it sometimes took a couple of months (my experience thou, my Tasma evolved to second stage in two days)
