Site Update
Just a quick update to let you all know that Half a Lesser Breeding Coins have been removed from all site shops until further notice. This is in response to the fact that they are overrunning the queue, and we think it's best if they're 'retired' for now.
If you still own one, you are welcome to use it but they will no longer be stocking as an item on the main site. Metal Breeding Coins are going to function as the 'BP-coin of choice' for those that want to spend BP, not GP, on coins regularly. If you need to breed normally otherwise, simply continue to use LBCs.
We're sorry for the frustration this causes, but we hope that in the long-run it'll stop the queue from building up as massively as it has.
-------
Also want to edit to say that from now on, if you have inquiries/questions about breeding stuff, or questions for me in general, send them to [email protected] instead of PMing me.
My private messages can be used for general discussion, but pertinent questions should go to the above email. Be sure to include your on-site username and user ID when emailing. The reasoning for this is that an email address will have more capability for organization and I won't lose important messages as easily (I get like 1 page of messages every 3 days). I didn't want to make a whole new news post for this, so just keep it in mind!

Can a compromise be made? Maybe keep the HLBC but make it so they only work with user predicts? This solves the queue problem but also keeps it available so everyone is happy. This would also help generate business for predict artists.

I think there should be an alternative for people who can't afford the GP for regular LBCs (and MBCs don't cut it, because they have a 5% difference limit). Yes, there are other ways to make GP that don't require you to spend real cash - however, some of us do not have the time or the means to do that, either. I'm in college full-time, doing an internship now, and can no longer make customs/predicts/art/anything to get GP, unless I luck out and get a good AD pet to sell in my shop, or Kaz actually throws something at me. Why not make them unusable with Fertility Potions? Or, as Serith stated above, make it so future submissions are predict-only?

Hmm, I think I still have one in my deposit box...'Glad that we'll still be able to use the ones we have! ^_^ Totally understand your reasoning behind this.

I think this was an entirely reasonable decision, including the part about not giving warning. We managed alright before the HLBCs and MBCs were introduced, so I'm sure we can manage without the HLBCs for a few months now.

Please make the HLBCs "breeding" season items... It took me five months to save up enough for one... Why didn't I buy it last night?! So pissed at myself right now. But if it took that long to save up for a HLBC, LBCs are truly out of my reach. Breeding is a big part of this site, and I understand the difficulty, but if I can only afford to breed my customs once a year, if I'm lucky, then a big part of this site's appeal is gone.

Would a warning really have been too much to ask? This came completely out of the blue. Couldn't you just make predicts a requirement for that coin, like you have for alternate line art breedings?

For people who are complaining about time? Please stop. I'm a Full time College Student currently enrolled in Police Foundations, you know, Law? I do Ride along's with other officers AND work a full time job and I can still make about 5 GP a day by using Exchange if I try.
It's not that hard, just put some effort in to it. And if you say something like 'oh my social life ect ect'? Great, have a social life and leave the breedings on Aywas for people who have more time to spend working for it. You can;t get something for nothing.

I honestly can't believe there are so many people moaning about this with the typical "wah wah I can't get things without working a bit harder I'm quitting the internet forevers!!!" Dude, just because breeding is a major part of the site doesn't mean coins need to be handed to you like candy. What do you think we all did before MBCs and HLBCs came out? Sit in a corner and cry woe is me all day? No, we sucked it up and saved for it in either BP or GP. Breedings shouldn't be so easy to come by that the queue gets backed for 6 months in the first place. I really am sorry for everyone who was planning on buying a HLBC, sure it sucks, but it's not the end of the world. You can save up more, you can wait.
