Just on rerelease day, limit buying one species to one per account

Hello,

To prevent people buying multiples of the same rereleased species, causing them to sell out and then selling them at a marked up price, as soon as the day after.

Ticketing sites avoid this by limiting ticket sales to a certain amount per registered user.

So, I only propose to limit the creature sale to one per species on rerelease day anything that happens after is fair game - buy 10 if you want to. The timezone staggering is a good direction in terms of fairness ; let's try to make it more fair 😊

Please tell me your opinions on this y'all

@sapphire12

I certainly think there should be a cap on first day releases. But I don't know about just one. Maybe two or five?
Something to give people a chance since things do come up in life and they may not be able to make it on one specific day.

And I agree, I love the time zone staggering!

I couldn't agree more, due to timezone it's totally impossible for me to be here and I always miss the re-release on first day

@sapphire12 I just sent my idea to the eggcave team, that was:
I'd rather if once in a month you could get this 'random old creature from caveshop' and get a total random creature for 1000CC (or possibly more) that was available in caveshop around 2011-2014. Note: Would be cool if each year after changes to 2012-2015, then 2013-2016.
I think that would help a lot to these creature values stays more equal - and would be pretty nice to see ppl more interested in trading their random creatures for one they like more with other users (:

Although I do like your idea too, I've seen some users with lots of releases just to trade then after - it seems more a business thing than to get these rarer creatures to themselves.

@possudio i think the way they're doing this is fine as eggcave users are used to older = more valuable and if they do the random 1000 then people would just fight about the value of the creatures - apparently it got pretty ugly when they asked for rereleases in the first place.

In a couple of years the values of those would probably bounce back to at least half of the pre rereleased price so it's pretty predictable still

I would like to see old event / cave monthly available for CC though ; that's a pipe dream lol

@sapphire12 Yeah you got a point, even Budgie isn't so exact about values about monthlies/crw/usual csps as they keep changing and ppl consider a lot of different values.
But I think it can't stay as it is, they should limite sales - another point, is that usual csps are going way too less than before releases, the Lui, is at #862.

@possudio i mean the logic is, if rereleses continue, any csp that isn't available anymore from the cash shop regardless of when it was released should now be 1000 CC ; because that's where the rereleases start. But we'll see?
