Site Update
Hi guys, the Breeding Department and I have a proposition for you to vote on.
Are you in favor of eliminating old x new lineart support for the LBC/HLBC in exchange for expanding alternate pet linearts?
What does this mean? Let's break it down...
Cons
- You would no longer be able to submit an old x new lineart breeding via LBC or HLBC unless you are using your own predicts
- You would not be able to submit an alternate x other lineart breeding of a same pet genus via LBC or HLBC (which we currently do not allow, anyway)
Pros
- We would be able to offer you alternate linearts for Aywas pet genuses that you could make customs from without harming the Breeding department's wait time, giving you a wider range of poses
- The breeding department would become healthier and faster as LBC and HLBC requests between two different lineart pets would not require the attention of site hybrid artists
- Price ceiling on old x new predicts would be eliminated so you or your artists could charge whatever desired for your different lineart but same genus predicts. (note that price ceiling on other predicts would still be in effect)
If this action were to pass, breedings already in the queue would not be affected by the new action. The action would apply to breedings that are submitted from its approval and out.
Approval rate needs to meet 70% "Yes" to be approved.

I voted Yes because I think it sounds like a great plan, and it would help in the long run. :) However, I'm not sure if I agree with the "No Price Ceilings" for it, because for the people who DO have a lot of old x new breedings to do, that's probably going to end up costing a lot of money if artists can charge whatever they'd like. Why not have the price ceiling be 5 GP per, the same as hybrid predicts?

Hrmm, on one hand it would speed up lbc breedings on the other hand ...The thing is, the HLBC/LBC is one of the cheapest way to breed pets and is a good thign for the economy... If you make it so they can't be LBC/HLBC bred, then I would suggest making a new coin that would work like a LBC of only the alt/new x old/normal lines. That is either cheaper or the same price as a LBC/HLBC coin.

Yes, breeding is really getting slower and it's frustrating. However the poll says out of service xD

So... basically if you bred an old melo and a new melo you would get a completely different melo altogether? A style that you can only get from breeding?

@Pesh (#81) -- With ceilings, there are less artists willing to do predicts for other users.
@Inu (#3296) -- That would completely defeat the purpose of this suggestion, and make the breeding queue take longer.
@Kaiten (#1225) -- Uhhhh...no. o_o

Ok, that's what I'm trying to figure out because you're talking about alternate linearts instead so I think that's what's confusing a lot of people, trying to figure out how alternate line arts play into this

XD I totally missed the price ceiling part. I wonder how much people would charge...? Eh, even so, it is still worth it even if the prices go up (...in my opinion. But then again maybe I think that because I don't do much new x old - so I might be a little biased)

@Amagami (#10414) - No, this only applies to old x new.
Alternate linearts are only for making customs. You could breed alternate lineart customs together as long as their base lineart is the same (for example they can have edits) but you can't breed them to another base lineart. It's the same with VDay alternate linearts.

I thought there was a cap placed for how much a predict artist can charge? The tutorial states you should not pay more than 10 GP for a set of 4 LBC predicts and 5 GP for a single BC/HBC predict. Assuming users respect this, there should be no problems ...right?
