I know I wasn't tagged but I've been on a number of petsites over the years and have seen some pretty solid ones and some pretty bad ones.

As it is right now, the main flaw of Pixpet is that there's not much active stuff to do on site. A few okay games, but aside from Adventure, most of it is hoarding. However, I don't entirely see this as a bad thing, necessarily. I find this a really good passive sort of pet-site, where I check in each day to do my interactions, keep an eye on my plants, send out on hoards, etc. Adventure could definitely help keep a more "active" userbase, but I can't say much on it as I haven't been able to do much of it due to it needing to be a pet in your house, but I've already made a suggestion regarding that.

I agree that what the site really needs is a good use for tickets so that users have a good reason to buy them. The storage boxes are great for that, but otherwise, not much. I feel like making there be a separate currency for the superpotions was a small mistake, as some of those are easily things that could have been relegated to tickets, espeecially since they're all about skipping wait times. I'd remove Superpixcoins entirely and make some of the potions buyable for pixcoins and some buyable with tickets. It'd remove an unecessary step and currency as well since superpixcoins are literally only for those super potions and you just buy them with regular currency anyway.

I got off on a tangent though. Really I guess my point is that it's in how you frame it. If you're wanting pixpets to be a site with an active userbase, then yea, it's failing in that regard. But if you're chill with a site where most of the gameplay is passive and you can chat on the forums if/when you want, then it's pretty solid and I've been really enjoying it in that respect.

(I also feel like throwing shade at Komodo for participating on his own site is a little... unnecessary and kinda rude. Like I get where you're coming from but still.)
