To me, it all comes down to what I said before...
PLEASE make good breeding matter, and plain blind luck matter less.... Pleeeease...!
Ways to do this has been suggested elsewhere on these forums numerous times.
Like: Don't release new traits/furs ALL the time, give us a chance to breed out what we have, first.
-And then there's also the suggestion to let kittens breed at 7 days - which would be another way to make it easier for breeders to keep up instead of falling hopelessly behind while blind luck rules the market.
-And then of course - give us a chance to combine recessive traits before the NEXT even even MORE recessive comes out.
I myself had this dream of combining super-recessive traits into a super-useful cat. It is a project that would take MANY Generations to complete, but hey... all in all I am patient. But no more. I gave up completely now, and so did others I know who had the same thought. It is simply impossible with the way new and more recessive things are shot at us with such speed that often, we even give up on identifying which collection-kitty it's from this time.
All this being said, I must also - as usual - disagree that the market is ruined.
The market is not ruined. No more than it was last time someone said so - or the time before, or one of the other thousands of times people have yelled this. The market is just so much in flux that few of us can keep up with the rise & fall of prices in new, semi-new and old traits and all possible combos of them.
But it is not ruined, it never has been, and it most likely never will be. The market is as it is because this is how breedables + free market works, whether we can keep up with it or not. -Which, admittedly, is extremely hard, and I for one can't do it either....
