Overall I have spent 2400 baubles for 6 packs, I only bought 200 of those and traded cs pets for the rest. I don't feel like the pets I got were worth $100, but I only spent ten of my own money and I don't care about the cs stuff so overall it was a good investment. I feel like little warning we got helped me a lot in the end because I would have probably bought a lot of baubles xD
I definitely think the price is unrealistic to a lot of the younger kids on here who don't have their own source of income, but I guess having it after Christmas is a smart idea because they'll all have Christmas money to blow :b Still pretty pricey when your chances for getting the super rare pets are honestly pretty low. I understand wanting to preserve the rarity of the pet, though, so it's just really conflicting.
In the end, it's a huge gamble, but you are supporting the site immensely with each pack you buy. It's worth it if you can afford it because you'll be getting valuable trade fodder either way, but I can see a bunch of people getting jealous or upset that they can't participate. Perhaps including a chance for two or three very lucky people win a free stone, by participating in the forums or hitting the token limit during events to enter yourself in a drawing. Just a suggestion ^^
I got a Phoenix drake, blue flame elkrin, clover glasswork, and many more good pets that will make excellent trade fodder. I've traded for an amore, and two stained glassworks (I hoard them all), as well as two glitches for my ancient hoard. I really want to trade my blue flame for an elderwind, and I have tons of fodder to add to my side, but they're so scarce D:
ParacosmA paracosm is a detailed imaginary world. Paracosms are thought
generally to originate in childhood and to have one or numerous creators.
The creator of a paracosm has a complex and deeply felt relationship
with this subjective universe, which may incorporate real-world or imaginary
characters and conventions. Commonly having its own geography, history,
and language, it is an experience that is often developed during childhood and
continues over a long period of time, months or even years, as a sophisticated
reality that can last into adulthood
