Events & Collectibles General Discussion

C a l l a w a y said:
I know I'm guilty of this because I got excited and over clicked and bought way more than I wanted, but I really feel like there should be a limit to how many single collectibles you can buy in a restock. Because buying 15, 20... or more of ONE collectible is excessive and selfish, unless by accident like I did, I didn't want an empty cart when I was clicking. Plus, I think it would prevent accidental over buys like this idiot right here. I just am getting tired of being *****ing or gloating. It's both unbecoming and turning me off of this side of the forum quickly.

I don't care about the candies, I don't wanna fight restocks and I don't really want any of them except the black one for a few minutes before passing it on, that would be hella epic, but to see people upset, and having been on both sides of the spectrum, collectibles are outta hand and I really dislike it. It's more cut throat now than when I started, and people are grabbing up as many as they can and rubbing it in people's faces like they are great ****... I'm getting kinda tired of it. All over a candy that will at max be worth maybe 400 BTB in a few months.

I'm probably gonna pull out of the collectible trade, I was doing it for fun, not to turn a profit, not to be a selfish person. I like to make deals, I like to work the system. I see it like stock trading, and it's time I sat on my investments for the future. But here's the thing. All of this crap? Worthless. Candies have zero real world value. My white feather? worth nothing. Why make a huge fuss over nothing? When something that's fun is no longer fun, time to do something else. I'll probably do giveaways from time to time, but this is no longer fun because of the people.

I have seen people ***** and cry about missing restocks, and then when they catch it the turn face. I don't care that I missed it. I really don't. I'm annoyed that people are *****ing EVERYWHERE about it. Like that will change it. Honestly.

Anyway, Rant over.

TL;DR:

I'm leaving the collectible trade for a while because it's no longer fun and there needs to be a five individual collectible limit or something because buying up a huge chunk of collectibles is selfish and people will cry about it. Childish.

I've actually thought about this a lot and even discussed this with my boyfriend after restocks were sold out again, and i honestly couldn't agree more. glad to see i'm not the only one who has thought about collectibles this way.
 
Just get rid of collectibles all together. In the meantime I'll sit back here and enjoy the conversation while eating calamari at olive garden :)
 
Guys. Have you ever thought without the collectibles, The TBT Trade wouldnt have inflamed so high?
 
IMO if they took away collectibles I wouldn't be as active as I am right now. I've gotten bored with ACNL and I come here because of collectibles and super smash

Okay, this reminds me of what Murray said on the "TBT Conversion Rates too High" thread. The collectible craze has gone to a frenzy, and people are too greedy for TBT.

I know that , Collectables are a big part of the site, and its the thrill of the trade. But also, collectables get quite alot of members fighting.
