Allow Chased Wolves to Keep Their Age (Again)

^^ 

i will also be on hold from chasing T3 until they sort this out.

I found a 1yr 223 stat chased merle NBW, who is now a little over 2 years, and the fact that no-one else can have a chance to find a wolf that's young with slightly higher stats like that is very disheartening to me

Strong support for option 2! Option 3 would be alright as well—I’m not a fan of the current system. <3

i'd agree with this change being made. I'll happily bump this thread

I'm highly in favour of Option 2.  The re-encounter rate is so low that the chances of the "immortality" problem occurring is probably statistically insignificant. 

Option 1 is likely to discourage people from Chasing their pups and since we already have problems with too many pups in the TC it's just going to make things worse.  I don't like Option 3 because it lowers the value of older wolves many of whom have good stats and EXP. 

Strong support!

It's gotten wayyy less exciting to encounter a Chased. Even if they have rare markings, if they're not really young I can't use them for anything cool. I already barely encountered chased wolves, let alone neat ones... the chances now of finding one who's 1-2 years old on top? Eh

(A T3 would still be exciting because you don't have to lvl or do anything before they become "valuable" but let's not talk about THOSE chances, ha)

Option 2) sounds ideal to me but I'd take the other two as well

I think option 2 would be the best 

Now as some mentioned the potential exploit of "re-aging" tier 3 wolves but the chances are so low that it's nonexistent I mean someone would have to find it first and successfully persuade it to join hell the chances of even FINDING a tier 3 are nonexistent in itself due to the huge amount of just chased NBWs and commonly based wolves with less than 3 marks 

I personally just don't see what there is to gain for punishing players that successfully find a tier 3 and manage to persuade one at least with this, this gives all wolves a bit of an extra chance to be kept and not dished away instantly purely because they're too old to be bred/not worth being bred because of how old they are 

I whole heartedly support this thread, and will be hanging on to any wolves I’d planned to chase. R&C and raising up NBWs from a young age to start new lines is the entire reason I play this game. This change is so disheartening, it could prevent me from playing entirely. And to implement this change silently? I’m not happy at all.

Yeah I'm not happy with the idea of chased wolves ages being rerolled. I wouldn't mind if it happened to wolves past a certain age or something but I don't want the 1yrs I chase being rerolled to be aged up so many years. Hoping this gets changed. :(
