Hello, i would like to sare my idea with you for the new feature for premium users.

Well my idea was that as well as the shiny increase's in breeeding etc.. my idea was it would be nice to increase the shiny AND mega-able together in breeding or higher chance to get a mega-able in labs more often. What do you guys think? =) (Y)

No support.

Shiny mega-ables are known to be rare, plus the never-ending shiny hunt of the premiums is already a thing.

No support- Premium already has enough benefits. After all, we don't want to turn PH into a Pay-2-Play game, do we?

No support from me either - I like the idea that this game is similar to play if you have premium or not - if this was implemented it would be unfair to those who cannot afford to buy nuggets for premium.

I support. Before saying that it would make Premium unfair, well, I think it wouldn't. Why? Because premium is already weak enough in my opinion so it's not a waste of 800 nuggets per month (with 800 nuggets you can buy a ton of stuff, but you are, however, spending in premium).

So yeah, I think premium needs a buff, because I'm pretty tired to waste my hard earned nuggets (I can't buy nuggets irl so I buy all of them from users) into premium every month so I can keep going with my shiny mega hunt.

Edit: adding more to the subject, I don't think it would make PH a pay2win game. At least, if it isn't a p2w game already, because nuggets are worth a lot and people who can buy them can get essentially anything for free (of course for free ingame, not irl). There are many many users that have a ton of stuff just because they bought a ton of nuggets.

By the way, I'm not saying that it's necessarily wrong, at the end of the day, that pays the servers where PH is hosted in, but it's necessary to have a broadest point of view of all of this if you want to have a good opinion.

Well, if you don't think premium's worth it, the answer is simple- don't buy it.

Premium is hard for people who don't buy in-game currency by real money.
And premium has an overload of advantages-: quick lab results, and flutes in sales, higher shiny chance, and most important, it provides the ability to hunt multiple shinies and hunt shiny megas.

Shiny-megas have become a dream for users like me who cannot spend more-than-50 dollars for premium (which is a lot in our currency).

And megas have random chance, not a fixed probablity. And increasing the chance Of shiny-megas, shinys and megas furthur will surely make PH a pay to play website to get most legends, ditto, and of course, the valuable shiny megas. This would make the premiums the only ones with a considerable amount of wealth.

On the other part, I know premium supports PH economy, but the present features are enough.

Well, the reality is that I only buy premium because I must continue my +7600 eggs shiny mega hunt, I don't think I would buy it otherwise.

And I've bought at least 16 months of premium (one by one) only using resources that I get by myself on the site, I mean that I haven't payed for any nugget, except for the first month that I bought by myself (I literally can't buy nuggets irl).

Let's think about this a bit, and I'm gonna talk just about my situation because it will be the easier to explain for me. How many nuggets did I spend only by buying premium? I've bought a month of premium every month since October 2014. That means I bought premium for 19 months, spending an incredible amount of 15200 nuggets. I could have bought 3 dittos, or 3 shiny megas, but no, I used all those nuggets buying premium trying to get my own shiny mega and failing miserably. Yeah, I hatched 215 shinies in the process and a lot of megaables (a bit less than 40 I guess, I don't really know) that payed for the premium by themselves (only thanks to the flutes though), but I lost a very important resource that's not so evident: time. By doing this shiny mega hunt I've spent over a year and 5 months, and that's a ton of time, specially talking about a site like this one.

You could be saying: "but time is not valuable monetarily speaking, nobody here pays for time or something like that!". For which I say, yeah, people buy time all the time lulz. How? Well, they buy gems. It's pretty self explanatory, but they buy overpriced gems only to get eggs faster and finish their shiny hunts faster. They are willing to pay over 40k PD for a single egg (talking about about an Absol egg for example) just to speed up just a bit their shiny (mega) hunts.

So there's that, I think this needs a fix, and I have arguments to think that.

I'd say the Mega Cuff that we now have is a pretty good solution? It can be bought with nuggets and increases the mega-chance :)
Moving to rejected as it's been implemented in a different way by now.
