paying to break partnerships...discuss

[disisme Misfit]

I find it interesting, and somewhat disturbing, that kitty cats is the only breedable on the grid that have a process for breaking partnerships.

Now, while its free to break accidental partnerships, you have to actually pay to break on that's been set for longer than 24 hours. On face value, to me, this looks like purely a money making process, because I simply cant see any good reason (and it would seem neither can any other breedable creator) that people should have to pay for it.

I know theres probably not a lot of money in this....there cant be that many partnerships that need breaking after 24 hours.... but theres a line between customer service and company service. Yes, KC is a company and out to make money....perfectly understandable....but to have these potions...making it logistically more difficult than it needs to be for the customer to break even if it IS in the free time window, seems like a bad idea.

so why not cut the logistics and workload for the customer.... why have this charge at all. Decrease database size by having a simple "partner" field.... decrease product stock logistics by not even having a seemingly unneeded break up potion (2 in fact)..... and make the partnership freely open to set and break like every other breedable.

Your thoughts on this will be quite interesting to read.... have at it!
