Site Update
A short announcement to state that MBCs and RBCs have received a small price-hike to hopefully combat inflation. There's something to be said when a coin is only 3-4 GP, that's far too little even for these two!
Yes, this will inevitably cause upset, but the RBC & MBC queues combined almost equal the BC and LBC ones (GP coins!). Meaning that with the site growing that we need to raise prices to equalize with the amount being bought. We're not trying to make it impossible to earn things, but there's a LOT of BP out there and more and more geodes... so we have to make the coins worth their intended value.
Thank you for the understanding.

Wow is all I can say. I have collected my points everyday since I have become a premuim remember. I have never bought anything besides pets from there. Its is very easy to get BP around here. just in dailies alone you can get 100K+. I spent less then 3 hours in the artic and have found over 1 mil BP. or more. I understand why some are upset but not everything can be handed out. People complain about how long it takes to get things back, so they try and fix it with a price hike, and then yall complain about it. Its a lose lose for the staff. While making a pet shouldn't be cheap, it should be something someone works for to make the site more pleasant to play. It would get boring if noone had anything to work for.

I think people are really over reacting about this D: Yeah it's a little dissapointing, but just think of how this will benefit the breeding ques!
I'm more upset about the RBCs than the MBCs XD

Man I love watching the Witch hunk that's going on :/
I'm sorry you people feel the need to complain over pixels but remember, there are REAL PEOPLE at the other end of these computer screens and they have feelings to, eh? You might wanna remember that others will treat you based on how 'you' began treating them. It's just a Breeding Coin, a pixel on an internet site, so chill out.

The staff just can't win can they? :/ Honestly, I'm not bothered by the price rise. I'd much rather have a shorter wait for my babies and this thing about quality is hardly very fair - there IS a mistakes thread and Frey's always said she's fine with people bringing up concerns or complaints about quality to her. Less breedings in queue also means less stress on the breeding artists - I know I couldn't handle being a breeding artist, cut them some slack? ~UK

thanks, I was undecided between FCMO and the RBC. Now it's easier to decide :D [ not being sarcastic ]

"It's just a Breeding Coin, a pixel on an internet site, so chill out." Sorry about that, but it's not that easy. I'm not defending people that are complaing (tought, I think it's easier to low the BP earn in Arctic), but a breeding coin, a crystal and all custom and breeding items are the key to make your creation become real. You can also say that, for example, Mona lisa is just a painting, but that's much more involved. And that's what makes Aywas different from much other sites. You can actually make art, not choose between other people work. You can actually make something by yourself, express yourself in a pet.
You may say "ok, but you can color them, but not create them. just keep as an PNG." Well, have they created makes them legit. There some rules in the world, like what legitimizes the currency of a country, that also applies to internet. In aywas, what legitimizes a pet, what makes it "real" in the site is to have been created and given a ID.
I hope that it was understandable, it's 7am and I'm really sleepy ;w;

You know, I do just want to add one more thing here since I saw someone mention it before and it got overlooked by most I think. The biggest reason that they are correcting the economy here is because a few people got greedy enough to hike prices on GP to 500k per one and other various drops in certain, supposed to be rare, items because of the messed up crons. Wow... kinda sounds like our real life economy huh? So really, I suppose the only people you really have to blame here are the greedy people who hiked up prices on GP just because they could and the people who took advantage of the extra crons to buy things from the premium shops and then end up selling them so cheap. While I think doubling the price on an item that only has a fifty percent chance of working is a bit extreme, I can see the increase in the MBC since there is no fail chance.

I absolutely understand it.. I bet the breeding staff have a lot to do!
but... yes, there's a but, too.. xD
"small price-hike"??? Uhm... At Premium Outlet the RBC is double priced.. that's not a SMALL ;) If you do it, then just write price-hike.. but not small.. bcs + 100% is not that small ;)
Anyway I hope the breeding-staff can relax now.. even a bit..
big greetings + hugs

It's not about making a new BP sink via the price of MBCs, it's about helping the queue a bit and about putting value back on something that has had value lost. At least, that's my take on it.
