I'm back to making all variations at AE I think. Someone bought one of my endangered variations the other day and already it's been bred. One already purchased or given/traded to a player I know will have babies for sale in a short time and the person who bought them the other day has them bred again.

Yes, I know I have no control over my creations below AE and though I enjoy creating more than 1 critter at a time at AE I think I'll just stick to that now. I post everywhere about just asking for respecting others creations so it annoys me to know end.

I'm not messaging this person, I'm not going to harrass them I just wanted to rant. I'll go back to making all AEs and hoarding my critters except with those on my trusted list. The only way anyone else will get any Castle Rock creations is sterile.

Selfish? If that's what you want to think then do. You can look at my creations list and see I've been far from selfish.

How is that selfish? You paid the money for the tokens. You took the time to come up with it. You're respectful of other people's creations, they should be respectful of yours. It's your choice to use the extra 1400 tokens and make them more valuable. I don't see how that could possibly be selfish - unless it was to someone who makes money by selling animals and you don't trust them enough to sell AEs whole or something... But that's their own fault. And that was kind of confusing. Sorry Razz

I've been called selfish for making AEs and not letting others but those I choose to give them to have them.

Thank you. I just needed to rant.

Don't give up Leopard.... I just wish I could afford to help more.... *grimaces* It's difficult with my moving house.

And Jinnx.... you've been very reasonable and kind... and extremely generous. How anyone could call you selfish is beyond my understanding. You give and keep giving.... even if you do knick my ideas before I can make them !!!!!!!!!

Selfish? *snorts* I just laughed for the first time today. Are you sure whoever said that wasn't joking, Jinxx? It's either that or they're being absurd. Laughing

I mean, selfish? *stares on in disbelief*

You are most defintely not selfish! I have bought foundy pairs in the past, but I do not think I have abused them at all. What it the sense of having a threatened animal if it is all over the game??

You have been very generous with many of us, and I personally, thank you for all your kindness.

Pfft. Selfish?
Come ON.
Whoever said that is totally lunatic.
I mean, every other week you have multi-million dollar giveaways, you have contibuted to the C-Club GREATLY, you have donated lots of tokens for people to create their breeds, the LIST GOES ON!
I don't think just creating AE isn't being selfish.
Heck, I would do it if I could afford it. [sighs]
I think that you're allowed to create as many AEs as you want, since it's your life, and your money. XD
But I definetly know how you feel about variations being overbred.
My Irish Draughts, the first baby, I sold for 50 Million. Then the frenzy started up, and every time I logged in, someone else had bought the variation. Soon enough, in the Looking For Section, I see people looking for me variation! So I go there, but guess what? Somone else had already sold the variation to that person for like, 20 Million. I KNOW my Irish Draughts are worth more than that. [/rant]
ANYWHO, as my conclusion, I do not think you're selfish.
Far from it, hun, far from it.

Not to put a damper on this or make all of you glare at me, but why create the animals if you don't want nobody to have any? It's getting so that every animal being created now is endangered or higher just so they'll bring more money or tokens. I'm not saying that it's wrong to want to keep your high-rarity critter's numbers low, I try to do so myself in a couple of species. When I do auction or sell an end or threat I've created it's simply to offset the amount I put into creating the variation. When I can afford to create though, I try to judge the rarity according to the real animal. Like the 2 sharks I just made recently. Megamouths are more rare than Whale Sharks, at least they're seen less often. The dog variations are a perfect example. I see many 'common' dog breeds in real life that are created as End or higher, same with horses. Your creations, your choice but I'm just starting to see a growing trend here. I mean, I could see being uptight more if the ratings on the animals changed as their populations grow, but they don't... for now. Don't hit me, I'm just throwing in my 2 cents... which is about all I can afford, lol.

Unless I'm totally missing the point, it's not that the creators don't want anyone to have one. It's that they don't want something they spent real money on to be ruined by other players. I make lots of endangered variations myself, regardless of how rare the animal is in real life, because it makes it more valuable in game.

Now, I don't mind if someone goes and buys a foundation pair of them, as it gives something back to the creator. I don't mind players asking if I'll sell offspring of my original pair just to have one in their collection. I DO mind people making foundation pairs and turning around and selling 10 of the offspring whole or putting a male up for stud without ever consulting the original creator. IMO that shows a great disrespect to someone who paid significantly more real money to create something, and it's not giving anything back to the one who made the variation in the first place (no tokens when people breed them). Players are just trying to make a quick buck in game and it doesn't matter to them how they get there.
