[Territory Slots] Sell Back Unused Territory Slots

[Territory Slots] Sell Back Unused Territory Slots
Posted 2023-11-11 12:24:40 (edited) #1091971 Hey, all! So, this is an idea that has been rolling around in my head for awhile, as I have been quite overwhelmed by my pack size lately. My free time and availability have changed since I joined back in January 2021, and feeding 300+ mouths every day has become too much. Now, I know what you're thinking - "just get rid of some wolves!" WELL, if it were that easy, I would not be making this post I am sure others can relate to being very attached to their wolves and buying too many pretty wolves off the TC. I always do massive den clearouts and get rid of a ton of wolves, but my population number constantly creeps backs up because I don't have the added pressure of adols running away due to space issues. The only way I can see myself really getting a handle on my pack size is if I could decrease my adult slots. So, I propose a mechanism that allows players to sell back unused adult slots & unused immortal slots to the game and get their currency back. (You could only sell back slots if they are unoccupied & if you'd still have enough slots left for all of your wolves.) So, let's take my pack for example. I have 155 adult slots which means 775 puppy slots. But right now I only have 147 adult wolves in my den. So, if I sold back my 155th slot to the game, I would get 7 GC back and lose 1 adult slot & 5 puppy slots (which would be fine, because I only have 166 pups in my den). Territory slot prices, for reference: If you then later changed your mind, you'd be able to re-purchase more slots for their regular prices. I just really regret buying as many slots as I did and it would be a huge help for me if I could slowly work on reducing my pack size and sell back the slots for a little extra funds for my projects. Anyway, maybe this is just a me problem, but I thought it was worth posting. Thank you for reading my idea! Please let me know if you have any feedback or constructive criticism. Addendums You must have 6 available puppy slots for each pregnant wolf in your den, so you will always have enough puppy slots for females giving birth A cooldown can be applied to help prevent any abuse of the system You cannot have any active hunts while selling back a territory slot in case you drop below the threshold for how many teams you can have out at one time	mercurie #35270

I think this somewhat damages currency-sink utility of den-slots, turning den-slots into a currency bank. Den slots are one of the biggest currency sinks on the site, and I worry that allowing playing to "withdraw" from their currency slots would fuel inflation. I know it's frustrating to over-buy slots, but I don't think it demands a "slot-buyback" system.

I mean, the site desperately needs more SC sinks so personally I think adding more SC sinks would be the solution there.

Additionally, if you look at the chart, it costs about 32K SC & 850 GC to unlock all the territory slots. At the current conversion rate of 1 GC = 500 SC, that means about 64 GC worth of the slots would be purchased with SC, which is only about 7% of the total cost to unlock all of the slots. So I don't see how this is a super effective SC sink to begin with if only 7% of it is made up of SC purchases.

✅ I support

⚠️ but I think it would be great if we don't get the full price back otherwise it could actually get used as a sort of bank.

💠 OR it could simply be an option to put a fake limit option. E.g.: you have 155 slots and there's an option that would put a soft limit at X amount you choose let's say 100 so then adol would get automatically kicked out etc. Would work with the same rules u just talked about when decreasing the limit making sure it's doable in that moment.

OR EVEN, the soft limit could be adjustable so you could even adjust the max you want of pup, adols, grown, etc however more complex to add to the game so either a soft limit or decrease of slots.

I really like the idea 💡

The soft limit idea sounds like an excellent solution to the problem as well! I like that idea a lot.
