Watching the Market

I bought two golds too. I think there could be some other factors going, when did this drastic price drop happen exactly?

Market, are you serious?
The prices! Glorious~ now almost everyone can make lineages they want!

 

Looks like it was first noticed 10 hours ago, but that may not be the exact time of the change.

Here's a questions--did anyone even get enough shards for the most expensive stuff before now?  I don't think we could even earn enough yet with a max of 100 a week.  Today's silver and golds might be the first "market-born" of those breeds.  I gave in and bought one gold--I like the female sprite well enough.

I'm pretty sure they are, yes.

these are the first market born ones, yes. I had earned the weekly allotment of 100 since market came out, and wasn't anywhere near the steep price of a CB Gold.

Hoping it's not a glitch. I brought 2 Silvers and a Gold. I'm extra excited over the Silvers because I don't have any female CBs yet. If it is a glitch and they get taken back then it was nice while it lasted. But I had to buy them because if it's not a glitch and I didn't get any I would kick myself.

If it is a glitch, we have no way of knowing that until TJ or a mod confirms. There is something in the site terms about not abusing 'unintended behaviors in the site's code', but given that we don't actually know it's a glitch I would *hope* that wouldn't apply. I mean, none of us are deliberately going 'oh let's take advantage of a glitch!', we are just taking advantage of suddenly-low prices, the same way we would with any price dip.

I am in the same boat as everyone else. I did point TJ into the direction of the Market - If it is an unintended behaviour, I would defend everyone on the grounds of HOW do we know? I think the unintended behaviours is how the Silver Dorkface was mated to the Split (to create a two headed dork line) - as an ancient example. If he deems it a problem, then he'll probably see what triggered it and fix that. I would probably think he would not dash anyone's hopes for a gold in this instance. (I think hte prices are way too low, but hey its a door crasher sale in my mind :P )

Well, I got my last Gold and my final dino. If this is a glitch, hopefully TJ won't see a reason to either kill all of our stuff or...whatever he may do. How do we know if it's intentional or a glitch? It's not like TJ tells us these things, so he SHOULDN'T peg us with exploiting if we don't even KNOW. Who wouldn't go nuts over something like this??

 

*in before TJ adds a super-rare to the market or something that will take years to save for and we all just used our shards on current rares*

Prices have been changed to their normal values. Probably just by removing yet more player interaction with the market, but whatever,

Shoot - I just missed being able to buy a couple more at the low, LOW prices.  :(

 

(I dropped a Gold and a Silver to the AP - but I was distracted so I didn't drop 'em the moment I could.  If I had, I might have managed to get a couple more shinies to AP...)

Kinda bummed that I didn't grab any golds, silvers, or chickens. I do hope that who ever bought them gets to keep them!

It appears that eggs bought during the weird-price periods have now vanished without any hint of notification, though shards are back at least.

 

EDIT: Well, good, something was at least said. I really do wonder how these bugs creep in.

Darn, you are right.

 

Goodbye chicken egg.

 

I knew ye well.

 

*cries*

 

Lol

 

Edit: Thanks for the update TJ!  Everything should be accounted for now.

Oh well, back to hoarding Shards, until I get enough for a Gold. (not counting the times where I buy a breed I don't have.)

RIP. And here I was kinda hoping I'd actually get my first CB golds since I'll never be able to catch one in the caves. XD At least my shards are back tho?

Back to saving and praying I can purchase my Gold before the prices leap from mass-purchasing when I hit the shard amount. *wasted a influence in case it wasn't a glitch, gdi*

Well, it was fun, briefly, for those of us with basically no hunting ability. Pretty fast response time, at least.

 

The prices are still crazy, though - trios more expensive than golds? Anyone who visits the cave a decent amount knows that trios are far more common.

Ah well, it was fun while it lasted. Understandable as to why they were taken away. Thanks for fixing it, TJ!
