Lets say you have a kir partner that has 119 points out of 120 for ivik eggs and is stuck on a calico Narwi. You have 1 point. It would be nice if you could send them the point so they can have ivik egg. Please, this ios just and idea. Support or no support.


So far, SUPPORT=2.5  & NO SUPPORT=3.5

Support. It sounds nice. Nothing is really lost. Since the point is already paid for (like the pet for that one given point is already turned in).

Not sure if it would devalue Ivik/RSTU001s since a lot of people would take advantage of this and would actually sell points rather than try to get the pets themselves.. So the pets might lose value because why bother getting the pets when you can just go after the points directly?
Plus multi-accounting would be an issue, like always.

Thanks, and even buying points would cost a lot because of those rare pets people get stuck on like me(Calico Narwi).

No support. Doing the Kir quest was intentionally made to be difficult - it shouldn't be easy to get the eggs. The ability to send points to each other would defeat this whole idea. ;)

I agree with Broken, and Jenny's negative points, but I still wish I could get the Points that my partner got before we teamed up and used my account. It's kind of wasted Tu for her.

I'm undecided, and will probably stay that way.
Yes, it'd be useful to me personally and a lot of other users, but like Broken said, Kir isn't supposed to be easy. Plus, there is the possibility of abuse with multying or selling points.

Non-support here. Kir is designed to be a challenge. So, you have 119 points and he asks for a calico narwi, and your friend has 1 point? Deal with it. Get the calico narwi in and stop whinging. Imagine how this would feel for those people who have already completed his quest, only to now find out that someone else can now complete it without wasting nearly as much TU? I mean, I've never completed it- having only 25 points- but still. It seems... wrong, to me at least.



Well now. I should... Probably put something intelligent here. At some point. Eventually.

Actually I think that would be too easy. I like that rescreatu makes it difficult to be rich and famous (if you get what I mean). I've been a loyal user of Neopets for 6 years now, and I'm so glad that rescreatu makes it different! The way that you have to be independent, makes it special. 

Even though it may seem hopeless when you're only one point away, you will be even more proud when you get that last point yourself, instead of getting it from another player. Makes the game/site worth it's time.

Remember how people used to have those "skip kir task" suggestions? Well, this is pretty much it.

Let's say there are three members in the group. One of them is stuck at an albino Jaaku and gives up. The other two can make up for the points.

This would cause much more multi accounting. They'd create like 10 accounts and keep sending the points to the main one. :/ No support.

Maybe there could be something like the Trick or Treat thing, where you can request a partner, except this would be permanent. Then partners can trade points only, and after reaching a certain point, the partners expire? Idk. It's late. xD



Here is your assignment. I have an order for one of these Creatu: albino Meragon\r\n
\r\nYou currently have 13 Pet Quest Points.

I have an idea.
What if staff invented point sharing, but raised the Kir prizes. That way, they would be still hard to get, but people could sell the points. This would contribute to the economy of Res. Kir points could be sold as something like credits.

Otherwise, I see the points that the no-support people are making. I am still undecided.

I disagree with you there, Punch.

I highly doubt selling points would work. Most people would want up to 40mil for their points. Maybe they had to turn in an albino for that point they're selling, or maybe they just turned in a Nattie and are making a multi-mil profit. You can't really be sure, and there's really no different kind of profit to the person buying. Someone is stuck on an seasonal albino, I can see how that could be difficult, but if they're only in the 30 range for points, would they really buy 90 more points, each one costing probably quite a bit. It'd be more cost-efficient in the long run to get the albino yourself.

Plus, I think a lot of people would be outraged over Kir's quest being even HARDER. It'd be unfair to the users who didn't have a lot of Tu to start with or are just starting out, while some were able to do pretty dang good at Kir just because they had a lot of rare pets and mass amounts of Tu anyways.
How would you feel if you were at 115 points, SO close to getting those Ivik eggs but just on a bit of hard luck, only to have staff push the cost up 80 points just because people want to sell Points? I wouldn't be too happy about it.

I agree with snowflake! That would solve the multi accounting problem! And one person can only have ONE partner. So like if one person created 3 aacounts, only two of them wold be effective. I support it!

Multi-accounting shouldn't be a problem. Staff is usually on top of that.
