At that point it seems like Pixpet just has some serious balancing issues. If you can buy the SLVL plushies with IRL money currency, or you're very popular and people are always interacting with your pets, hoards are probably a lot more lucrative and not worth complaining about. But for people who can't buy the SLVL plushies with real money and don't have a ton of friends or interact much on the site, the hoards literally just aren't worth it full stop. I've taken to just hatching out new pets and doing hoards with them until their level gets too high, because my higher level pets don't bring me back anything good all they're doing is wasting my time because their SLVL isn't crazy high.

That means hoards aren't balanced properly, if the only way for them to be worth while is to either pay the site money or just be popular. Its kind of a let down and also a really really great way to chase off all but the most dedicated players.
