hi all
The pricing for the regular Perma-pet (1800 lindens) is comparable to other non breedable animals around.
Its indeed true that you would pay more in total if you want to perma-pet a "rare" cat, as that "rare" cat would be more expensive.
This is something that doesn't occure ofcourse with a non breedable animal, since there are no such things as "rare" cats, you just buy the type you want.
If something is rare, you will always pay more, that the logic of demand and suply, and many of you enjoy breeding and selling based on this principal.
The pricing for the 120 days perma-pet (1500 lindens) is directly extracted from the normal perma-pet price as follows:
If you would feed your KittyCat for 3 months at Pet food level, it would cost you less then 300 lindens worth of food.
(since a bowl lasts for 2 months if a cat eats at pet food level).
Making the 120 days perma-pet lower then 1500 lindens wouldn't make a lot of sence for that reason.
Its right that many of you will have feeded a cat at breeder food level, however, for that you have gotten additional functionality as well may have sold offspring.
Further we have never really logged all this info, so we are unable to determin what cats have used more food or not.
We also believe that very cheap or free perma-pets would harm the secondary market a lot, since it would get saturated with lots of cats which would stick around forever, since there is no reason at all to "eliminate" a cat that doesn't need food. Making Perma-pets no transfer could eventually be some kind of solution to that, but has other implications. (like loosing a good part of its value...)
Additionally, more from our point of view, would a free perma-pet mean that we are selling non breedable cats for 300 lindens.
I ofcourse understand that you are always looking for the best price you can get, just like i do, but I hope this clarifies some things to you
Regards,
KittyCatS.
To Permapet or not to Perma pet.
