Both No more PPs

[porymon]

Just a suggestion-

I feel that that the sale of Premium Pokes (Formerly known as Donation Pokes) should be stopped.

With the introduction of all event pokes to Mystery Boxes from the 1st of November onwards..the value of these MBs is likely to go up. This'll result in the dropping of the value of PPs. It isn't fair as PPs have to bought with real money too.( Currently 12 Mbs are worth approx 24 mil which is twice the value of a PP.) In v3 and in the early stages of v4 DPs were worth about 30mil PD each. Then MBs became popular and the value dropped to about 25 or so mil PD. Until a year ago PPs were worth 15-20 mil PD ( I believe the avg. value as shown by disc bot was 18m then) then the MB changes came along and now PPs are worth 12-13 mil PD. I feel that after a few months (after the new MB change comes into place) the PP value will drop drastically. Thus I suggest that PPs be taken off the Vortex Store. I do not suggest changing the PPs as the cycle will only continue. (Not against the MB change btw)

Please do comment.(so that the Admins can take notice of this)

 

I understand that opening MBs is a gamble but that wont stop people from opening them. I also understand that each player can value his/her PP at any price..but most people new and old players to the game alike go by the avg. value shown by the Vortex Bot in discord)

Removing premium pokes is a bad idea. They can stop the current ones and introduce new store pokemons / premium pokemons.

I would go with omg414. As the previous pp pokes values fell drastically, admins can introduce new pokes. Like meloettaperroiate or something like meltan.then even admins will get some profit.we will also be interested in new store pokes.

Uhhh... Premium Pokémon and Mystery Boxes have zero relation so one becoming more valuable does not make the other less valuable.
(Maybe in a straight Box-for-Pokemon trade ratio but you can't even do that in the game anyway.)

Also believe it or not, the game is not developed with player assigned values in mind, I don't care how valuable something is.

They cost the same in the vortex store. With the upcoming changes people would prefer to spend their money on boxes rather than premium pokes.Hence the mb  PD value does up. PPs become undesirable and their PD value drop. This beocmes unfair to those who had previously purchased PPs.

It doesn't matter if their real life currency value is the same, most people do not buy from the store to trade it all away, it's for their own personal collection.

On top of this, a Mystery Box's contents is undetermined until it's open so it makes no sense to even compare its value to something else.

 

A Mystery Box is unique in value based on its current (potential) contents and has no relation to Premium Pokémon.

 

Nothing is going to just disappear because you don't like opinionated and hypothetical trade values.
