I don't remember ever seeing a response to that particular point and after taking a long break from Pixpets and coming back recently, I still have the same concerns. I hope now that the suggestion forums exist maybe a discussion can happen regarding it. Why does SPC exist as a currency? This feels like such a minor thing to talk about, but I think that just gives more credence to the idea that SPC is redundant and possibly shouldn't exist. As it stands, SPC is used to purchase one thing: Super potions. The only way to get SPC is to convert PC or PPT. This is simple enough but why? Why do we need to convert other currencies into a currency that is only used for one thing? SPC can't be sent to other users like PC or PPT, it only exists to be converted into and then used to buy potions. I feel it's redundant because it's an extra and unnecessary step in this process. How can it be improved? Being able to purchase these potions with both PC and PPT is wonderful, it means players who don't want to donate for PPT (or trade for them) still have access to these features. But if that's the goal, why not just have a section of site where players can directly purchase these potions for PC or PPT? It's the exact same process, but missing the step where you have to convert currencies. It also helps prevent players from accidentally converting more than they needed, or fat fingering the purchase button (note that the counter is set one 1 by default when you enter the page!) while on mobile or by accident. There is no confirmation asking if you're sure you want to permanently convert your PC/PTT. Reasons why SPC maybe exists? 1. Wanting new players to have access to Super Potions when they start out. Counter: New players can be given a selection of Super Potions similar to how they are given neutral hoarding potions. Also wanting a currency just for this reason seems a little silly. 2. Wanting an "event currency" that can be given to players for placing or participating in events. Counter: PPT seems a much more positive and useful prize due to the amount of things they can be used for. Also if you really want to give out Super Potions as prizes, just directly give out the potions. 3. Wanting a set in stone PC to PPT ratio Counter: This would still exist if 'shop' existed for super potions where they can be purchased with either PC or PTT. If the plan for SPC is to add more content that you want available for both PC and PPT, I again just have to point towards how much more convenient and sensible it would be to simply have some kind of npc store where you can use either of those currencies to purchase said items. I'd love to hear what other people think, especially if anyone can help me understand the benefit of the currency and it not being removed. Thanks! :) |
