Kind of disappointed in the micro transactions at the moment, not so about the pricing just the system in general, which seems to behind the pets at the moment. There needs to be products in the more exclusive range as there are simply players who would pay for that and as company it is best to cater all your customers.

I find the add effect, reclaim effect and calling out your pet system quite archaic. Made another post about how I envision the in game store looks.

Than the pet system is build up as follows:

Cheap:
Tiny / basic color model

Middle class:
Tiny / medium size/ small particle effect/ new color

Expensive:
Large / Big particle effects (fire, lightning etc.)

Understandable as the added particle effects might cost more effort to make and as such is more logical to price higher. However this system doesn't give a premium user the option to buy a certain pet premium without the effects. Vice versa those with a smaller budgets are excluded from particle effects.

The number 1 reason for me to not upgrade my CB supporter package was because I simply like the bronze kiwi way more than the silver one and the diamond kiwi. I only like the gold one if I had to upgrade/ change kiwi.

The biggest issue however is that premium doesn't make a certain pet exclusive. Now everyone can get a scorpion and with the current way the pets are classed the simple pet rather becomes the hobo pet. I see how that sometimes might be wanted to put pressure on people buying the more expensive version, but it also becomes rather tacky if that is how all pets in the future will be included. Just changing the color schemes and having a bazillion frogs on the store devalues the frog to me. A lot of products easily developed vs pet exclusivity.

With the far less lizard options (3) I hold the lizard in more value than the most expensive scorpion of which there are now 7 options.

I had rather preferred to see 3 premium scorpions: normal/ ebony / poison. Or the choice to choose from 3 pairs of premiums at the same price (why is there a difference, between lightning, poison and fire?).

TL;DR:

Adding tons of the same pet devalues that pet as an exclusive buy option. Everyone has a scorpion, yours just sparkles.

Making the sparkling options always the exclusive one devalues normal/ cheaper pets as the version classified as: " pssssh it does not sparkle."

Just my 2 cents, keep making exclusive and expensive content, but I do like to see a different approach to it.
