I whine about CC - again :P

silverserpent • 5 October 2011 at 9:18 AM

I think it's getting harder and harder to trade for any kind of CC and truthfully it's starting to make me tired of Egg Cave. Every month is a desperate hunt for CC creatures and freezes. That's about the only thing I have time to do at Egg Cave nowadays because it's so hard to get any kind of response on trades or trading topics in the forum and it makes me a bit sad.

Without friends (I don't have any friends on EC ;_; ) with CC it's a struggle to actually find someone trustworthy to trade with. I can't be the only one having this "problem". (Or if I am I'm a sad, sad panda...) ☹️

Sure, it's easy to say I should just settle with the cave creatures because I don't have any CC, but then I might as well quit because EC seems to be all about the monthly CC eggs nowadays. (And I feel like a fool for wanting them.) *sigh* ☹️

@silverserpent
I have 1000 CC UFT...
What could you offer?

silverserpent • 5 October 2011 at 9:28 AM

@cqpkytty

You saw the trading post I did in the forum, right? You never said what you thought about the different offers though. :/

cqpkytty • 5 October 2011 at 9:34 AM

@silverserpent
oh sorry

I agree. So far, I spent over 10$ in CC just for monthlies. I promised myself I won't get them. But then, I give in.

silverserpent • 5 October 2011 at 10:09 AM

@linpug

Yeah, and you still only got two monthlies. If there continues to be three monthlies every month from now on Egg Cave will be flooded with CC eggs that most people don't have. How many new cave creatures have we seen since V2? Not many...

cqpkytty • 5 October 2011 at 10:10 AM

@silverserpent
Thanks!

So, um...
The Leyma, Hallowolf and...Drakomo?
for 2 CC eggs of your choice 😊

linpug • 5 October 2011 at 10:12 AM

That doesn't conclude how much i'm getting this month! D: @silverserpent

silverserpent • 5 October 2011 at 10:19 AM

@cqpkytty

Sure! My pleasure. I'd like a Spookat and a Vampyr. Thank you so much! 😃
(Btw, "vampyr" is the Swedish word for "vampire".) >:[

@linpug

You're a slave to CC? x)

linpug • 5 October 2011 at 10:20 AM

@silverserpent I promise never to spend CC on monthlies again.





















Maybe.

cqpkytty • 5 October 2011 at 10:23 AM

@silverserpent
On it! What do you want me to name them?

@linpug
lol

silverserpent • 5 October 2011 at 10:27 AM

@cqpkytty

Geez, I suck at making up names just like that. Just name them something random and I'll rename them later. xD

@linpug

Somehow I don't quite believe you. 😉

cqpkytty • 5 October 2011 at 10:27 AM

@silverserpent
ok!

linpug • 5 October 2011 at 10:29 AM

@silverserpent IT IS kinda TRUE!

ladybugheart • 5 October 2011 at 10:30 AM

I used to be a slave of CC, sometimes spending $25 at the very beginning of the month. ._. But now I don't buy it unless I really need to. :]

That is my inspirational story.

elluwah • 5 October 2011 at 10:31 AM

Since my goal here is to collect each egg, I'm finding it increasingly difficult to afford it. I don't trade, I'm dreadful at trading, but despite this I still like to browse the TC looking what sort of lots are up. And I have to say, I agree that it's getting harder to trade. There's hardly any lots up with the new CC's in them (not that I need them (bought them already XD) but I'm always curious).

I just wish there were more cave eggs released, because any and all new eggs lately are all money-bought, and it's draining my money supply. D:

Don't get me wrong, I love Egg Cave and will continue to get CC, but I just need to complain and let off steam about it every now and again. 😋

silverserpent • 5 October 2011 at 10:31 AM

@linpug

In that case it is "kinda" true that I won't be hunting CCs next month too like a maniac. 8O

celeste • 5 October 2011 at 10:34 AM

@silverserpent
I'm just the opposite of @linpug. I keep telling myself "You don't need CC," And somehow, I always get my favourite monthly by trading, before I move on XD
I promise not to waste money and keep as much as possible for future hoarding....






































Yes. Maybe?

silverserpent • 5 October 2011 at 10:45 AM

@elluwah

I think that's why it's getting harder to trade for CCs. People are starting to save money and they just buy the CC eggs for themselves instead of trading them.
The only "big" hope there is for non-CC-users like myself are new users who want to buy old LE creatures with lots of cash. I don't really like where that's going. xP

As for freeze trades, I'm quite afraid of them since my Roo got stolen in such a trade a few months back. I got extremely lucky and the Roo was returned to me and later frozen by a trustworthy user, but I'm still very spooked by the whole event.
AND I still think freezes are waaaaay too expensive when you think about what they do. xP

@celeste

I've somehow managed to get the new monthlies I like so far, but I think it's getting more and more tiresome and hard. Give it a few months and you'll have to sell your soul for one, it feels like. xD

celeste • 5 October 2011 at 10:46 AM

@silverserpent
I've got friends with CC, but they'll only go so far...

cqpkytty • 5 October 2011 at 11:11 AM

@silverserpent
Actually, I just remembered that I had promised @lizardfeather 2 freezes.

silverserpent • 5 October 2011 at 11:14 AM

@cqpkytty

Aww... Normal luck for me then.

anori • 5 October 2011 at 11:25 AM

@silverserpent
And that Is why I posted ideas for some changes
* pokes http://eggcave.com/forums/topic/7318 *
We cant really carry on like this ;/.
And I would really want to help you but like many I cannot afford to buy any spare egg ☹️. However If I will have any extras I will contact you.
This is getting really expensive and so many people cant get any decent egg *sigh* And I am waiting for cave eggs too - very impatiently I might add.

cqpkytty • 5 October 2011 at 11:27 AM

@silverserpent
I can still give you one, though! Which of those is your favorite? And you should probably reduce what I'm getting, too.

silverserpent • 5 October 2011 at 11:30 AM

@anori

I agree with you, totally. I don't like this new "cash only" Egg Cave. That we don't get any response on our complaints feel kind of hopeless too, I think. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) -__-

If you somehow find some spares somewhere I'd be beyond grateful if you ping me. xD

anori • 5 October 2011 at 11:41 AM

@silverserpent
I totally will.
And I Think that current system make us all hopeless not only that @Ian don't response or have less time ☹️ But I agree - I Really want him to tell that he is working on something big or just tell that he just cant be on-line for 3 days or just see that he is caring about us o.o.

But I think that it will change !
I Just believe @Ian will do something because if not people will leave - I just cant image person that can afford to spend 15-25$ monthly on site with very less updates and no free content and seeing friends leave is making it only worst.

silverserpent • 5 October 2011 at 11:47 AM

@anori

I'm a bit pessimistic by nature so I'm not sure it will actually change for the better. Money is a strong force of "nature" and if people keep paying for the CC, which I believe some will no matter what, then I guess we won't see the end of it until the rich ones get tired and move on.
I really do hope that Egg Cave decides to take care of its normal (not so rich) users again instead of just fishing cash from the rich ones. :/
