Personally I am not a fan of "sizing up" pets, as it defeats the purpose of being able to buy the larger sizes in a shop. Also the amount of time to decide how many size 4s to each size would be extensive, as with pets costing different amounts not all full size pets would take the same number of size 4s to reach. If you have too many free pets of a small size, trade or gift them to people who want them. It's a much simpler solution.
b) Please reduce the card to SM ratio.. there are only 372 pets which translates to 186 Silver Moles and 186 edible Foods the ratio just aint right. We should be able to buy enough food to feed all the 372 with our cards.
There are more than 372 pets. Including NPCs I have nearly 600 pets I try to visit daily. I can help you up your number, but it takes time to figure out who you are missing.
Also, making the ratio 1-1 undermines part of the game. Some things must be a little more difficult to achieve to give some users more to trade to get ahead. Plus with our community being so generous and kind most users can get what they want with help.
c) No Direct link to gifts received
I agree with this one. Being able to get to wish list from any page is a step up, and having a direct link is planned, David has said so in the past. But there are other items which are much more important to get coded first.
d) Have a Mall search feature.. There are so many images and so many shops. There should be something which would say where could you buy a particular item from instead of scouring all the malls
Each of the shops has a search option, so at most you search three shops to find what you need. There's no need to go page by page. Having a function which tells you what shop to look in is redundant and excessive to the forementioned search already employed. Plus all items tell you when they leave the department store and which shop they move to. It isn't (for me at least) difficult to remember. But if there are enough users who have an issue with this I have a solution which can be employed.
e) Do we need the "Meet your Greeter Button" and the "BB Code" Totally useless if you ask me
A lot of users (including myself) use BB Code regularly - in welcome section, scene descriptions, and gift messages. They are a nice added touch.
Meet your Greeter is a section which has a lot of potential for the future and still a use now. For now it lets other users see how many and which pets you own. In the future this section will be used to provide more interaction between a user's pet and your other active pets. This too has been said by David, requires a lot of programming to achieve, and again there are other items more important to have finished first.
f) Having a slides comment section on the main page renders the main comments section useless.
No it doesn't. I wish more people would use the main comments section. It keeps the comments visible instead of changing with each new slide, which users have complained about. It serves a very reasonable purpose.
g) The Pages are too heavy to load.
This has to do with your internet. Most of the time everything loads fine for me, but when my brother is playing a MMO and my roommate is watching netflix, more bandwith is being used and my pages start to bog a bit. This is even more the case when I am working on shaking paws and don't change windows or tabs, the amount of memory being used on my laptop increases making the browser run slower.
h) After a slide has been saved the page should automatically change to the homepage
I disagree again. When I am working on a liece and need to save it to go buy a few things I would NOT want it to be placed as my homepage. I've also had art entries I have not wanted as my homepage. There is also yhe option to make your new piece the homepage when you save it, so there is no reason to automatically do it when they option is already given.
i) The Inventory is not real time. We have to refresh our pages once we make any type of transactions be it gifting or buying
When buying the inventory is automatically updated on the buying page. The amount you own listed above the buy button updates with each purchase.
I do agree it should update with gifting, but in my opinion ONLY once we are able to gift multiple items at once. Being able to gift only one item quantity at a time as it is now, I would greatly despise having my page reload after each gift sent. If it can be updated as with buying and would not reload the whole page that would be very welcome.
Again it requires a lot of programming and testing and there are other items more important.
David is the person doing 90% of the programming, Alias Al can only help 10% of the time. And it can take hours to find and fix a bug in the programming. To design even the edible food shop (from scratch) takes days of programming non-stop.
There are a lot of really good suggestions out there and ideas with the basics in place for the game to grow, but a lot of patience is needed when there is only one person doing all the work.
