Site Update
This is a short newspost, so please be sure to check the one under this for Holiday related goodies!
Yasu coded for me a 60-day regen, so I'm using it for the purpose of making Lesser Breeding Pendants 60 day regen. I know people will be rather upset by this, but with several hundreds in circulation and the price of pendant slots still horribly devalued, this needs to be done to cut back. I mean, look at the queue...
Lesser Breeding Coin (x311) | Lesser Breeding Pendant (x383)
This should not be as imbalanced. Pendants are supposed to be rare, so we're hoping this combats it. Think of it logically:
RBPS and MBPs are cheapest and pendants regen at 30 days.
LBPs are mid-grade in price and regen at 60 days.
BPs, EBPS, PBPs, and HBPs are the rarest, and are at a 90 day regen for this reason.
Please understand we do this to keep the balance in the system, and we really want to be fair on all accounts. This effectively means for the amount of LBCs people submit, a little over that amount comes around for free in the system. I hope this pans out eventually despite the obvious frustrations it will cause.
Now aside from this, spend those Candy Canes and Snowflakes and carry on merrily!

I thought it was already 2-3 month regen o.o well, I think it's understandable, but I still don't agree with retiring it from the store wth no warning.

I agree with Hikaru, on page 4. Besides, paying with GP would help to down the GP price at the site, witch, I guess it stills being sold by 300k. If that's not possible (refund/buy the pendants), I agree with trading the LBP for the PBP, but I think 2 for one is too cheap. 3 for 1 is a good deal.

This is why I spend my gp/sp on pets or customed items/pets.

"No, MMO's nerf the drop rate, and the skills to lower the income of a certain item to the community. They rarely nerf the item itself." <- change item to skill/class and it's bsically the same thing. The analogy does not have to be totally literal. I would not have leveled (class name) to (max level) if I'd have known they were going to (whatever nerf they did) it! I WANT MY LEVELS BACK.
The fact that there are more pendant breedings than coin breedings is queue is ridiculous and hurts the site in more ways than one. I am unhappy about the change because I just got my pendant (as a gift) a few months ago and am still excited about having it, but I certainly understand why the change is being made and I'll live.

Being not one who buys coins to breed... Having my LBP was a big thing to me. The nights I days I go without sleeping to ensure I stay on gardening highscore board... The LBP was earned with dedication and time... It did not come easy. I chose that item to get when I had SP was because I love breeding so even thou I cannot breed all the time like other people did, the 1 breeding per month was making me happy. I have so many pairings I want to breed I prolly would be able to come up with a pairing every 1 week even.... So to suddenly have it changed to 6 uses a year just make me :(. I really hope the Admins can give this another thought? (IDK if you guys finalized it I hope not.) Maybe those suggestions of finding more artists or letting people swap for other pendants might work? As long as you have enough artists for those breedings. Also maybe can consider higher payback if we submit predicts? Also it's not hard to find good artists. There's many on forums offering their services. Maybe better pay can lure them all in? <3 I really hope there can be a solution that can please more people..... <3 from Aywas Addict Kat. :)

I always buy LBCs from the GP shop or user shops to do my breedings, so this doesn't affect me at all, but I just have to say that no one should be lumping Aywas in with other pet sites. Aywas is amazing in so many ways, a cut above in terms of staff friendliness, interactivity, and site compensations when something goes wrong.

And everyone should be as respectful as wispytearz (#9634) is on Page 10. :x Complaining about something like this is ridiculous (and calling it not fair reeks of childish behavior), you should be spending your time enjoying Aywas and everything the staff does for us every month.
You should understand that sometimes changes are necessary to increase fairness overall, for the community and site as a whole, even if it comes at a cost to you personally. You can still get as many breedings done as before, it'll just take longer (and be easier on the breeding staff) to submit them. Theoretically, you'll be getting your breedings faster when the queue's lighter, so that's nice. I want more people to buy LBCs because that helps the site stay strong and wonderful.
And this "you" obviously isn't directed to everybody, just the complainers. Thank you to all the wonderful people on this site who appreciate staff.

People are just commenting expressing something that has upset them :/ Opinions are opinions whether you are a teenager, child, or adult. So calling people childish isn't really fair. :/ But I do agree that purchasing LBC's rather than using pendents all the time is a good thing, because of site income.

No, MMO's nerf the drop rate, and the skills to lower the income of a certain item to the community. They rarely nerf the item itself.
In my humble opinion, aywas staff should've gotten the LBP's waaaaaaay back out of the SP stores. Thus lowering the number of LBP's
I understand the move of the aywas staff. But first of all, it IS staff's fault there are so many LBPs and it IS not fair to punish the community. But now that we sit with this problem, we will have to suck it up and deal with it.
I do not own a LBP, and I wouldnt care of getting one or not. By free I understand they mean - no income to the site. If you buy a LBC with GP, there is some income. But if you get a LBP and sell those slots to other people (or use it by yourself) there is no income to the site.
What annoys me about this post is that, ofc, the community has to pay for administrator's faults. And aywas isnt the first nor the last site which does that. Community can complain as much as they want, but in most cases, nothing will change. And as the site grows, it will get worse. (I hope not, but... well, yeah. It happens)
