I don't understand the company mindset of having something so extremely rare only people with money to burn can go around and buy them up to get a fancy cat knowing no one else can ever actually collect them. I have 100+ breeders, in all this time a single emerald lol. So in about 2 (or more) years I might have enough for a fancy cat and by that time the rich people who can afford to buy up all the jewels would have had their fancy cats for 1+ years.
Seriously.
I think maybe we're missing the obvious inference that the Fancy Cats aren't ready yet. When they -are- the random drop rate will undoubtedly increase and more people will begin getting the gems. Right now the low drop rate is to intrigue us all without landing KC in hot water with people showing up asking for a Fancy Cat that isn't finalized yet, all their jewels in their hot little hands and burning a hole in their virtual pockets.
ETA: Just wanted to point out that was a gentle joke on the fact we're all so anxious about it despite not having seen the Fancy cats yet. Our fearless creator let me know privately they're definitely ready.... But if no one has any yet, we don't need to fear falling behind right now, yeah? I have faith that when it's time, they'll execute this little bonus game with as much attention to fairness as they have the rest.
