Balinese, and the secondary market. Can we *avoid* having a round 2 of this?

I'm not sure where I stand on the placement of new fur traits. Constantly making them more recessive makes them harder to discover, but easier to reproduce once you do. Shuffling them into the middle somewhere makes them easier to discover, but harder to reproduce, at least until you refine a 'true pure' of the trait.

That said, maybe the problem is timing and quantity? I know the artists naturally want to put their work 'live' and get that good feeling when people appreciate it. But, maybe, management needs to step in and give them a quota: "No more than X new furs per quarter." or something like that?

I don't closely monitor populations for KittyCatS like I do with another breedable. But my observations over there indicate to me that there is a "sweet spot" where discoveries maintain populations (my theory: indicative of maintaining a healthy market). Too low and things sink. To high and people feel burned out and we see comments as we're seeing on this thread (and others in the past). Yes, that shows my mathematical bend, but I do believe that some good data collection and analysis would aid management finding that "sweet spot" and setting guidance for the creative staff to help them find and maintain it.
