Fish Oil Change Ideas
Just posting some main ideas that players would like to see changed for fish oil (that are both reasonable for players to still enjoy this new product, and reasonable to not let it be out of control).
1. Make a limited purchase of 3 bottles daily per player; the fish oil would go back to the effect it had in this way, and people could still get a nice daily added bonus for using their sessions or trialing or whatever, without it getting out of hand (for example, capped dogs getting trained in 3 days or so in some cases).
This way also makes buying more kennel slots worthwhile, which was one thing ala was getting a lot of consumers for after the release of this product.
(this is my favorite idea, and seems to be the favorite of other people as well)
2. Make it so it is limited release (I'm not completely in favor of this option, though, due to people refreshing the page waiting for it to stock and grabbing them all, which is why I thought up the above idea)
3. Make it so dogs cannot trial in the same day they ingest the fish oil. (this could be added with either of the other options if this was still seen as a problem)

I like option 1 & 3 the most.<br /> <br /> I mean, sure people can resell it, but that would ALSO help newer players have an additional income would it not? If you can only buy X amount from the main store per day, then of course it would be in higher demand, and some enterprising players would re-sell it for profit. Really I don't see an issue with reselling for profit, users do it for the monthly shop items frequently.<br /> <br /> Since a lot of the complaint against fish oil seems to be about spamming trials, just disqualifying dogs for having fish oil that day seems fair. Personally, I don't see it as an issue, since dogs would simply trial out faster with it instead of using the normal time reliant means of trailing.<br /> <br /> I think it was a wonderful idea for training of dogs, and should be implemented as such. With the difficulty of breaking into ala and training dogs when you are first starting, a cheap item like this was a god send for any newer players. And older players struggling along with those higher TP dogs had been looking for an item like this for ages.

People could resell, and probably would to make some profit off it. Still, they would make the price higher so people would have to pay more to get it that way. I guess limiting it to 1 bottle a day would really cut down on this being abused. (And would still give a nice little daily bonus) But, even with being able to buy 3 a day I'm not sure it would really cause too much trouble. Of course, things can always be tested and changed if they aren't working right.

As much as I find option 1 interesting, what's not to stop players from hording and then using all at once with one dog. Or others from buying them from user shops in droves? I think the latter is what worries me the most, the former is just smart thinking.<br /> <br /> I'm not a fan of the second, remembering when Speed Unlmtd Chow was that way, it was horrible. But it would work.<br /> <br /> The third is my favorite, although would still make it possible to max dogs a little too fast.<br /> <br /> Perhaps a combo of one and two? A higher limit like, say 5 a day, and cannot trial when they ingest.<br /> <br /> Could be a hard code though.
