Scaling the rarity of items with hoarding was really just an example (just because I would go with it, doesn't mean the site has to). By no means do I want to throw around what the site already has! I know I said I'm impatient, but that doesn't mean I hate how the site works. There are just a few things where I see a problem and potential if it could get tweaked, and I'm more than willing to think about a solution to help. Just wanted to clear that up.

Personally I think the balance of hoard times as of right now could get more balance between them. Yesterday I hatched a Pandstar, send her on a hoard, and after 20 minutes she got back. She grew to level 15, I sent her again, and all of a sudden it takes her five hours to come back to me. That's a really big jump in my opinion. (How long does it take for a level 100 pixpet?)

If there was more to do on the site, like more interaction (what if you can keep interacting with people but don't keep getting a reward after a certain amount, for instance? I really love going to people's pages and help them out on sites like these) or minigames (and these are just examples) it would keep more people interested. Right now, as a newbie, I feel like all I do is wait and that can cost the site a decent chunk of new members. Ones who don't even have to be registered yet, because when I told my friend about this site, they weren't really jumping to get on board. That's a shame.

As for the housing I really like the concept. The drawback is that I have to save a lot of money to be able to afford it, and that means I have to keep sending my two pets out, which basically comes back to waiting.

Again, I don't mean to bash on the site. There's a lot I love about it that makes me want to stay! It's exactly because I'm interested that I want to see the site grow, especially with the things I encounter that hold me back to do more. I hope that's clear ;;

And yes! Food pellets would get balanced out too.
