Basic Accounts Get LESS breedings.

reina__ · September 2008

Everyone complains about how there are too many untrained dogs with poor stats, well it's because of the people who just breed and breed and breed with no other intention other than to make more vp cash. A basic account gets 25 max breedings, well I think they should get like 5 instead. That would limit the amount of dogs being bred and not only that, it would quicken the game up without so many markups for dogs that aren't going to be used/no one cares about. And if people are going to make several accounts in order to breed, I think the rules should be enforced harder and more clearly somehow.. I've been on a site where you couldn't make more than one account on the same IP address; I think that should be enforced on VP. That would really lower the amount of people making different accounts to benefit from them. Just a suggestion. Thoughts...?

I dont think this should be changed. Novices are heavily restricted and this is a game after all. They can breed what they want. The number workds fine now and it doesnt need to be changed. (I would time longer but unfortunately school got to me.)

I don't think they are that heavily restricted. They just don't have all the "extras" that payers get, which aren't really NEEDED to play this game. Getting less breedings would pay off in the long run--game would quicken, there would be less "fights" (which is why I left the game about a year ago because there were too many stupid fights), overbreeding would not occur as much, the lines that people worked hard on wouldn't be destroyed and flooded with mutts and dogs ppl don't care about on vp.. etc.

Everyone has restrictions on the game. restrict: to confine or keep within limits, as of space, action, choice, intensity, or quantity. sponsors are even restricted. For example, we can only have a max of 8 events for prestige. I am not going to go off on this point because this is mostly irrelevant. Now, have you thought that if they only had 5 breedings they would be tempted to create more accounts because they ran out so fast? Back when I first joined and I was a novice (and a few yrs. younger) I would definitely not think twice about getting another account. Remember, this is a GAME! It should be enjoyed. I feel that there isn't much for novices to do in the first place. The can't rescue, make events, post on bark park, not put fame in anything other than handling, ect. If people choose to inbreed it's their choice. Sure it may slow the site down but many dogs are retired, released, rescued every day.

Tru that, But.... so the fact that novices have 25 breedings and are heavily restricted in everything else, is encouraging puppy milling. And yeah, whatever, ppl can do what they want, but it makes you wonder if it is encouraging poor research and poor breeding in real life? I dunno. When I was a novice I didn't know about the "fully" trained dogs, with the stats up to 200+, and just made sure that my breeding dogs were skill maxxed (since I am interested in becoming a Dane or Cane Corso worker/breeder in real life ,, but that's another story). But what about those that don't. And are just breeding to make money. I dunno. It doesnt matter. I dont really know. I dont even play the game so why am I making suggestions. :oops: :x edit - i accidentally put stat maxxed instead of skill maxxed

Perhaps you just want to make VP a better place? ;P The first thing I did when I read this was think to myself, "When I was a novice..." Put yourself in their shoes... Pretend like you're one of the responsible novices. Would YOU want to only have 5 breedings? 5 breedings? X3 Sounds like someone's trying to make this an all sponsor's game. (Sarcasm! XD) No, but really, 25 breedings isn't really that much as is, specially since they only get 25 breedings for the whole of the game. Why punish them all because of a select few who don't know/care that their doging ways are looked down on? As long as you're (well...not YOU but...you know! XD) content with the way you're playing the game with your dogs, why really should it matter that kids are having fun experimenting with their own? Yeah, their dogs may suck, but that's where you can come in and show them the right way. I will never forget the sponsor and OP that made me what I am today. ^^ Most novices want nothing than to play the game in a way that makes everyone happy. Perhaps instead of trying to run them away* we could embrase them and try showing them the way towards a better VP? XD I'm off to bed now. ^^ *5 breedings would cause more novices to quit--what's the use in playing if I can't breed to earn a little? Or would cause them to break the rules in a way that would get them banned. XD Both ways end with the novice going bye bye. ;P

The current limit on novice breedings is just fine. If you're bothered by overpopulated/bad statted dogs, don't be. Data is data is data - and none of it is hurting anyone. (Unless there's some freak attack-data-dogs that can be unleashed on unsuspecting victims...0.o) Anywho, if it bothers you, I'd say just ignore it and let others play as they will (so long, of course, as the rules are followed.)

Howdy, Stranger!
