ZC rebalancing

I... honestly don't get why people keep saying zc is so expensive to get when in other countries? It's just how conversion rates are these days...?
For ref, I'm in Korea. I buy zc when I can. these are my rates, to KRW (screenshot). Yeah, it feels more expensive to get for me. But at the end of the day, that still = gbp price stated. There is no extra fees or anything to pay for zc if using Stripe to buy directly...
Maybe I'm misunderstanding things. I'm sorry if that is the case.
I remember the days of the 6 extra daycare adopts being account-locked. I like the idea of it, if it doesn't expire. Otherwise, I'm fine with how the adopts work now :>

What is the bug though?
The notification is there when you have the box checked and no shiny charm, active, right? Which is when it's supposed to be there. Is it showing up when you have a charm activated?

Well that's my point. I'm open to suggestions. We have a place for suggestions. If you have suggestions, please put them in the place dedicated to suggestions.
Aside from that! This is a really interesting change. I understand why the prices were increased in terms of value and the market, but I don't think it was a good idea for this playerbase. Already these players have been qutting and dropping like flies due to the PFNew announcement (why waste time on a game that's going to be scrapped?) (and leaving for other various reasons since before that). The game's popularity seems to be steadily declining. With the removal of RMT, that only accelerated it. Many, many people are gone, and the economy is most likely not doing too hot. But... If you are to make all these upgrades cheaper, as the userbase would prefer, it would tank the market even harder then it's currently tanking, making Melans sooo much easier to get and shinies / albinos worthless (pretending they're not already worthless to a committed hunter lol). Dropping the prices on HM and other upgrades significantly would have made melans FAR easier to obtain and tanked the market significantly, everything would be easy to get, and nothing but delta melans of specific colors would be even remotely rare. However, in raising these prices, combined with RMT removal, you've made the game INCREDIBLY difficult to maintain an interest in. It's now super expensive to hunt for melans (it was already pretty expensive, but too late in the game's life cycle to have successfully changed that), and die hard users willing to put large amounts of real life currency into the game (or "whales"), are struggling to keep up. With ZC now locked into this economy and not escaping into real life currency, you'd think that there would be more in circulation, but unfortunately that requires the dedicated few whales to still pay the site. With how many people have quit, how many are active, there were already only like 10 whales I knew of when I actively played... how many are really left? Not to mention that it's always been difficult to play this game and have a life; spending even a day off of Pokefarm feels like you're bleeding out value of the daily boosts you've spent your money or currency on; this just accelerates that feeling. All in total, there was no right answer for this game, or for Niet. I hope that the users who still actively participate are able to enjoy themselves and hatch melans, but I just thought that this was an incredibly interesting dynamic that's developed over time. I'm hopeful and excited for PFNew, but as I've watched the "projected release date" for other things in PFQ be pushed back by weeks, months, even up to a year before, I do not have much hope for PFNew to come out "within a year" as it was once stated. I'll still be keeping my eyes out for it, though! (Note; I haven't been active for a while so I apologize if some of my knowledge is outdated, feel free to let me know and I'll do my best to correct it.)

At one point you told viewers on your stream that many approved and pending suggestions would not be implemented or would be implemented into PFNew instead, and that you needed to sort through the suggestion forums and clean it up. This was never told to the general public of PFQ. I don't recall when this was, but it was several months ago. That makes it incredibly discouraging to want to post in suggestions or even support suggestions when we have no idea if we'll be getting feedback and potentially implemented, or quietly pushed aside. "A place for suggestions" right now feels like the bottom drawer that I put stuff I don't know what to do with and don't want to deal with right now.

Q:What about suggestions that were rejected because 'the Reboot would fix it'?
A: They are absolutely open for discussion once again - please feel free to suggest these things again / BUMP relevant threads or if you're feeling particularly adventurous, PM a Mod about getting a thread removed from rejections because of that specific rejection reason! :D

Hi! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that statement was retracted when it was announced that PFQ would continue to be worked on (alongside PFNew) and wouldn't be replaced by PFNew. Suggestions that were previously turned down because it would go on PFNew were changed to approved if they are possible to implement on PFQ as is. It's been a while though so I could be mistaken.
