I'm going to fully agree with Jennifer here. I actually really hate the elitist attitude that comes with these collectibles. I mean, I understand that yeah in the real world not everyone gets everything, but these are pixels on a forum that is more or less a children's game. Also I agree that rarity has nothing to do with the name.
 
Collectibles are called Collectibles because they can be collected... Rarity has nothing to do with it.
*facedesk*
Oh my god what the crap am I saying.

I'm still against it, mainly because I would like to maintain bragging rights. :rolleyes:
 
I agree :D Collectibles for all. They are cute which is why I have collected them. Don't need them all. I never got the pinwheel or pokeball but I can live without them. :)

Yes, exactly my point.

Real world is hard enough--I'd like to be able to peacefully collect cute things online as I can't in real life without people spamming bragging rights and Elitism :( Heck, I have less of a chance with some collectibles due to being a moderator.

On top of that, not all collectibles can be sold/traded anyway. People are saying you can just buy from people, but that isn't true. I have been offered a few collectibles people have that they do not necessarily want or they were willing to sell me only for them to find out they can't gift it--so some people have collectibles they don't even want that just makes it harder for the ones that do :(

Sansa - I blame my OCPD for my "gotta collect them all" stance. Well, that and Pokemon :p The amount of sites I quit because I couldn't collect them all and knew I'd like... make myself sick otherwise if I tried to stay around and get them... but I'm a mod here so yeah
 
I like collecting collectibles, just because I enjoy collecting things. I don't care that I have something that someone else doesn't. I collect them because it's fun, and I just like being able to look at them. Rarity of the collectibles has nothing to do with me. A big part of my collecting is because I'm OCD about having to have things in full sets. I like the look of them on my profile, but I don't care about them because they're rare. c:

Pretty much. ^~^
 
I have the same collectors instinct. At one point I had an extremely large collection of toys. I sold just a small part of this collection because I had to. I had a sick dog and a busted computer so I had to. It left a big gap but it was worth it.
 
I am going to chime in, i am all for more collectibles. I read through every post on this thread and i am a bit taken aback at the attacks against the OP. He or she is selfish? Childish? Wow, its so mean. All he was asking for was the opportunity and restocking, not freebies.

I think what he, and some others feel, was that somehow the whole process was left up too much to chance and luck. If your computer or whatever you were using had gotten into line, as it were, just a fraction faster then someone else, you got like 3 or 5 of the covetted items. Many of you are making it sound like you earned it while in reality, the winds of luck fell your way.

In case any mod is reading this, i would propose that the store be fully stocked at all times, but make the rare items super expensive. That way, all of us have the same opportunity to achieve it either by posting actively, trading bells or items for the tbt bells, or whatnot. Instead of time zones, fast fingers, etc. be the deciding factor.

As a note, moderators have no effect on the shops--only Admins do. I know some items are set to update every so often, but most are done manually because that's how they are set
 
They. Are. Pixels.

Stop exaggerating.

Just because they are pixels doesn't mean people don't care. Games are just pixels and data, but people sure get upset when their files get erased or something bad happens.

People value things differently--just because you don't see the value doesn't mean that person's feelings and opinions are invalid.
 
my thoughts while reading this thread: lol

I kinda have to agree with this. While it's quite different in this case, it's more or less the same moral issues some forum-goers have. Not saying I dislike it, but it should be worked upon.

You probably think I'm one of those people, but honestly-it's not people having the opinion that TT'ing isn't meant to be-it's when people with those opinions enforce them on to other people with differing viewpoints. And in some rare cases, they look down on that person because they don't play their way. #InBeforeLocked
 
Wow, this thread exploded when I was away.

Not gonna lie, this is *actually* more of a vent topic. The topic that I made out of spite, and the stress influenced on me. Now that I'm much calmer now, I should explain everything.

OK, so I know that this topic is silly and a bit selfish. You may call me rude because I'm forcing, but I was stressed at that time. Not because of the cake, but also other things. I just poured the blame on the cake, and that's the reason why I make this topic.
I also became defensive about it, and it's because I'm also stressed. But I might have to say, I didn't say that I'm on the stress and that's why people think I'm being rude and attacked me.

tl;dr: I was stressed on other things but take the cake on blame so I made this topic.
