RE: New Releases Hurting the Breeders
On the subject of the aging-in period, waiting for cats to produce their first box, which was recently brought up in another thread ...
When I look at the number of active players and the last time they were "active" I think the data strengthens the case for NOT reducing the aging-in period. I know it can be hard for those who are active every day to believe, but the data suggests that the "typical" player actually only checks on their cats on a weekly basis. Shortening the aging-in period shifts the advantage toward those intensively breeding on a daily basis and away from those working only occasionally.
It's all-but impossible to work out an "average cattery size" from the web-based information; but the company could certainly do that. In their place, would use that, along with frequency of activity, and the down-stream effects such as I mentioned in the other thread, to help inform my decision as to the appropriate length of the age-in period. My personal feeling is that, all things considered, the age-in period is about right and no changes are warranted.
