I feel that the economy is doing moderately.
There are certain points where it is doing better or worse, but overall it is fairly easy to make TU and I believe there is plenty to go around.

 BUYING AND SELLING

Cheap items are usually the easy to find items like Ahea eggs, rarer items sell for a lot more.
The most expensive item I have ever bought was a Orchid dye, I do not remember how much I paid however.

 PAYMENT METHODS

I use TU for all my payments.
Before a payment I always take into account how rare the item is and how beneficial it would be to me; whether it be for a collection, quest or future sale.

INFLATION / DEFLATION

I wouldn't sale the economy is inflated rather than deflated.
Many items have lost their worth due to people making quick sales and trying to make quick TU.
This has caused many people to expect a lower price for almost any item.
Many items that would once make you thousands or even millions will now only make you a couple hundred.
This means if you want more TU, you really have to grind harder and longer to find those rare items, only to get a couple hundred for your hard work.

CASH SHOP 

I have personally not.
I have never used the Cash Shop, though I have thought about it.
I have never purchased CP, all of my sales are done with TU.

GAINING TU 

I mainly make TU through selling rare eggs, items and creatus I find.
It used to feel like it had a better pay off, because even though it felt like I would spend forever looking for these items, I would at least make good money doing it.
Now because of the economy, I have to spend longer doing this for little or no payoff.
It can become frustrating at times, but it happens.
It was definitely easier in the beginning.

NEW FEATURES
 
Some new creatus perhaps.
There are already so many, but new things are always a nice surprise and fun to look forward to.
Some I would make relatively easy to find, while I would make others more difficult; either having to grind or complete quests in order to receive these rare species.
I have always enjoyed the seasonal creatus as it gives many people something to look forward to and keeps people playing, they also usually sell for a lot which is a nice bonus.
I would make these free, but like I said earlier, some would be a little difficult to receive.
Some would be year round, while others would be seasonal or maybe even for one week only.
Another feature could be playing games to receive additional TU, Creatus, or Items.
The games could have a built in tally system, so the more you play, the higher of a chance you would have to receive rare rewards.

The economy is doing okay.
There is plenty of TU to go around, it's just a matter of making enough.

 BUYING AND SELLING

Many items are losing value and becoming practically worthless.
I cannot remember my most expensive recent purchase, I usually try to save money and spend only when necessary.

 PAYMENT METHODS

I only use TU to pay for items.
You can make TU in many ways: selling eggs, creatus, items, etc.
Though because of the decrease in value of many things, it has become more difficult and I have had to stockpile and sell more things.

INFLATION / DEFLATION

Definitely not inflated.
Items are losing value.
The best way to make TU now is by buying all the expensive items and selling them again, which of course; is not that easy.

CASH SHOP 

I have never used the Cash Shop and have never bought CP.
All of my sales and purchases are done through TU.

GAINING TU 

I mainly use TU to buy food and other creatus.
It used to be relatively easy to make TU, but now it has become more difficult.

NEW FEATURES
 
More creatus, events, daily rewards etc.
The introduction of new things and daily rewards would give people an incentive to keep playing. Daily rewards would motivate people to log in more frequently.

It's okay

 BUYING AND SELLING
I would consider something above 1 mil expensive

 PAYMENT METHODS
I mostly use TU as payment I try not to use other payments

INFLATION / DEFLATION
It Depends on How much someone wants that item or if the item is no longer in stores Items and pets can get really expensive if they're rare

CASH SHOP 
I don't buy thing from the shop because I don't have the money to spend and don't have enough TU ether so I don't really have A opinion on it

GAINING TU 
I play luck games and put stuff on auction its not to hard to get TU or at least I don't think it is

NEW FEATURES
I would like to add something otachie related to reiflem

I think there is enough to go around, as long as one plays the games everyday and try there hand out in stocks all is good. And those who have alot of tu don't just hoard it with the intention of not saving or using it. :)

 BUYING AND SELLING
I honestly think things can change in price for pets  so randomly esp when it comes to Albinos and Achros it can be crazy; and some can be a little high it just depends on what you are willing to spend. I swear at one point beans and RMPs were half the price Merchants are selling now though; which makes me iffy on wanting to buy them. I don't think I bought something expensive recently besides one bean which I was lucky to get Calico which are around 7.8 million tu; which like I said I swear at one point they were half that. ;o
As for selling as a Rancher it's kind of hard to sell anything below Ginger, which makes me hope for a new hatch color or two(or three) to come out, esp for us who have been around who most likely have collected most creatu in most of their hatchable colors. (like maybe even 4 new colors like two common and two rarer colors)

 PAYMENT METHODS
I'm only able to pay in TU, but it'd be nice to be able to use creatu and items. But most people want TU, which I don't mind but makes it harder on new Ressies who don't have a ton of tu.

INFLATION / DEFLATION
Like I said earlier I swear at one point Natural Colored Jelly Beans and Random Morphing Potions were half the price Merchants are selling now, and the last time I remembered being half the price they are now are around the time RMP's first came out. Either that or I am going crazy with the mommy brain because I thought back in the day beans were around 3 mil and RMPs 7 mil? Because I remember buying a ton of RMPs to make Ashlern a Wyrae when it was a new thing and I can't see /me/ being able to buy a ton at around 14 mil, lol. (p.s. Ashlern isn't a Wyrae for those curious)

CASH SHOP 
I think the prices in the shop are okay. but when it comes to buying CP off of others the going rate is usually 500k-600k each. Which would make a simple Trance potion 30 million to 36 million for someone buying CP to buy something; which is mind blowing.

GAINING TU 
It just depends on how you play the game. I started playing early 2009 with some points I wasn't playing because life. But I recenly got the hang of playing the stocks, which that in itself is random and you can have a good streak to having to wait a while for them to go up. Which thanks to the stocks I have over 200 million TU for the first time, in one time; (which makes me giddy). 
Besides that I play the luck games and sell eggs that are currently selling for 60k-150k.
And my Rancher is random and it all depends on hatch luck, I can go like the whole month of naturals and fails which getting rid of pets in the hatchery only gives 1k. Or in a month I'd get like 90% naturals 3% creams and 2% sepia. Being a Rancher sometimes really sucks, you have more hatches but it doesn't mean you'll get much to sell and not many people will buy creams and sepias.


NEW FEATURES
Oh! A fun thing to add would be a "Volcano Spring" on Reiflem. But you can maybe have 1-5 turns a day. It'll be like the Spring on Atquati, but for this one you can throw anything into the Volcano Springs and you can have a chance on getting just a puff a smoke which gives nothing, or turns your junk into some tu(coins of sort?), maybe it'll pop out a Creatu egg of a new Species!? Or cool Charred or Mystical clothing of sort. And all the items that you throw in are gone for good and it "spits out" the tu or new item. Aaaand maybe your active creatu gets overly excited and tries to follow and loses some health or maybe a new color that is only able to get on the creatu through that chance of special Volcano powers? That'd be cool.
Or maybe for a current for the Springs we already have, maybe add new items? Maybe a new creatu from there as well and make it a platypus lookins Res style twist creatu? (I know there is a few who would love a platypus creatu!)

(How do you feel the economy is currently doing? Is there enough TU to go around, or is there too much/too little?)
I feel like the economy is doing very well for those who have a great amount of tu, but poorly for those who don't. I believe there is enough tu to go around I just think it's hard for new users or even users who have been here for a while to make money. The only ways I have made money on this site was mainly through stocks and graphics. I have sold a few pets and items here and there, but it's not enough to keep a person going. And it's really hard for users to obtain things worth any money. So I normally purchase CP and sell that or use CP to buy what I want. Which I mean kind of sucks for me because real life money, but in the long run is good for the site.

 BUYING AND SELLING
(What would you consider to be "cheap" and "expensive" in regards to buying or selling something? What is the most expensive purchase you've made within the last 180 Days, and how much did you spend? Has it been easier to buy or sell goods within the past 180 days?)
I mean obviously anything worth 1k would be the cheapest to many users, but I think with someone with a good amount of money 1mill-5mill would be considered cheap. And the most expensive I would say on average like 600mill. The most expensive purchase I think in the last 180 days would have to be for the name Chewy. It was worth 200mill however I bought 400CP for in exchange instead of the tu. It hasn't been that easy I have been putting my valuable items in auctions though even though I wanted to keep them haha but I need tu.

 PAYMENT METHODS
(How do you pay for things; whether it be TU, Pets, Items, or CP? Is it easy to make a purchase for something when not paying with TU?)
I normally buy things with tu or cp, because I don't really care for items much and my pets are my babies and I try really hard not to sell them. It's a lot easier to buy things with CP than TU, but then again there's that whole real life money situation haha.

INFLATION / DEFLATION
(Would you say our economy is "inflated"? When did this "inflation" happen, if so? Can you recall a time when something costed less, and if possible please list why you think it increased in price over the time.)
I used to have an account on here like way back when the first res was released. But I took a lot of time off. So I'm not really sure what has happened in between then. However I do remember when Kioka, Omni, and Liyure were worth like 5mill and back then that was worth a lot of money. And now they're retired and they're worth like 500mill-1bill. But it's still pretty to obtain them when 500mill is basically nothing today.

CASH SHOP 
(Do you buy and sell CP ((Cash Points)) to make TU, or gain something else on the site? How much and how often do you usually purchase CP? What would you consider to be the "going rate" for CP? Do you find this amount too expensive, not enough, or just right? Do you think items sold in the Cash Shop are too expensive, not enough, or just right?)
I buy CP quite a lot. And its for to gain TU and to gain pets/names as well. CP usually sells for 500k-600k and I feel like it should sell for 1mill. Like 1cp=1mill. I think it would be easier on those purchasing CP with real money and would be easier to think okay so how much do I need to get in CP to match this in tu. Like I had mentioned before the name Chewy was worth 200mill and I had to pay 400CP for it which was $40 when it could have been much easier on me to pay 200CP for it which would have been $20. But that's just my opinion. I think the items in the cash shop are priced accordingly, except for maybe the RMP I mean I understand you get quite a bit in the pack, but it's like the same as the beans.

GAINING TU 
(What is the main way(s) in which you make your TU? Do you think it is easy or hard to make TU? How could making TU be made easier, if it is too hard, and if it is too easy how could it be harder to obtain?)
I think making TU is easy in a sense if you're buying CP and selling it or selling items from the shop. But if you can't buy CP then it is quite hard to make tu. I'm not really sure how it could be evened out so it's easy in both situations so I can't really help with this one. 

NEW FEATURES
 (If you could add ANY new feature to Rescreatu what would it be? What would the rewards be? Would it be free, or cost to play? How often could it be accessed? What other ideas would you implement into the feature?)
I really don't have any ideas right now. I know a while back some users were discussing the idea of having an egg hut during the summer, because there is such a huge gap before the next one.

(How do you feel the economy is currently doing? Is there enough TU to go around, or is there too much/too little?)

I would say there's not enough but will need to explain. It has got to the point where you need masses of tu to buy something and either will have the means to get it (actual money) or have to wait a few months for stocks to be okay.


 BUYING AND SELLING
(What would you consider to be "cheap" and "expensive" in regards to buying or selling something? What is the most expensive purchase you've made within the last 180 Days, and how much did you spend? Has it been easier to buy or sell goods within the past 180 days?

Nothing of value here seems to actually be cheap. Hatches are already 100k and even though tu is horrendously inflated that still is a fair bit. Compare to neopets, where you can buy food for 100np or 10mill np. Most I've spent on is probably 40 ish mill on cp if that counts.


 PAYMENT METHODS
(How do you pay for things; whether it be TU, Pets, Items, or CP? Is it easy to make a purchase for something when not paying with TU?)

I usually pay with tu I think; if not, with pets. When not paying with tu it really depends on what you have and what other people want so it's fine I guess.


INFLATION / DEFLATION
(Would you say our economy is "inflated"? When did this "inflation" happen, if so? Can you recall a time when something costed less, and if possible please list why you think it increased in price over the time.)

I've not played res for a huge time, but when the average cost for most things is in the millions it's fairly obvious that it's inflated. I don't know why prices increased but the BM probably was a factor.

CASH SHOP 
(Do you buy and sell CP ((Cash Points)) to make TU, or gain something else on the site? How much and how often do you usually purchase CP? What would you consider to be the "going rate" for CP? Do you find this amount too expensive, not enough, or just right? Do you think items sold in the Cash Shop are too expensive, not enough, or just right?)

I've never bought cp with money. I've bought cp with tu before. Again I think that 500k per 1cp is a ridiculous amount. I dislike how, as said before, the only method of making tu aside from waiting is using real money which is actually expensive. Another thing is, also comparing to neopets, in neopets you can buy things using real money but they aren't integrated into the game. In res, cp ends up being tossed together with tu giving players that don't want to spend ridiculous amounts a disadvantage.

GAINING TU 
(What is the main way(s) in which you make your TU? Do you think it is easy or hard to make TU? How could making TU be made easier, if it is too hard, and if it is too easy how could it be harder to obtain?)

The only way I can make tu is by stocks or selling pets. It is neither easy nor hard; it requires no skill to earn anything but is difficult to get, almost rare. The focus shouldn't be making it easier or harder but making it fun. I've essentially left res because it had hardly anything that was fun. Oh, I clicked a button and a thing hatched. Oh, I bought some stocks. Oh, there's an event where you click on pictures for hours. It's less like a game and more like a type adventure, only there's no actual adventure either.

NEW FEATURES
 (If you could add ANY new feature to Rescreatu what would it be? What would the rewards be? Would it be free, or cost to play? How often could it be accessed? What other ideas would you implement into the feature?)

Make it fun. Make the things bought with real money and game currency separate. Have events happen on time. Looking at neopets, these are reasons I keep coming back (to neo); 
Fun dailies - Maybe I'll get a shoe... but I might be rich! Which, to be fair, usually happens eventually..
A working bank and stock market - There is literally no reason to have a bank on res because it does nothing. And the stock market is kinda useless and annoying without everything else. But since neo doesn't center around just that, it's good!
Chance games - Again, I know that, whenever I play, I might win! And that's fun! 
Exclusive events - Things like dailies you can only access with maps are interesting and give motivation to find said map pieces. 
More focus on pets - My pet can be happy, sad, hungry, bloated, ill, whatever. It turns it from a block of pixels to something that feels more like a thing.
Battledome - Fighting!
Stories - There are explanations as to why things happen and plots for different events.
Loyalty prizes - If I'm there long enough I get to go to places where others can't and are therefore superior! Build a loyal fanbase not people who'll leave after 2 days.

So i think i'll start off with this. I have read through quite a few of the posts. Some complain about it hard as a new player to earn tu versus an older player like myself. Someways true someways false. We all start off as a new player and if you wish to succeed then you need to play the game. as i have been here over 10 years to achieve what it is i have, to earn what i have here, by playing the game. So my advice to people is to play the game to earn what you want. But in some ways i can agree with some of it as there have been many good features of this site that have been taken down over the many years i have been here. Which is quite sad whoever made those decisions. There was once the potential for quite a great game. For it to end up like it is now, with most of it deleted out, it is harder to earn tu in some ways. I would add back in the other classes that were here, this would lower the amount of merchants and ranchers to help spread out tu in more of a better way. add back in the other features of making tu like the job tower, this was a great feature daily game to earn tu, in between your shop sales.

As far of a couple people who have mention that some of us older players hoard our tu, i would say completely false. As the good majority of the players from my time period do not even play here anymore. And the few that are, most only pop on once in awhile. And i can speak for myself i do not hoard any tu in general, unless i am saving for a specific item. But in general i spend my tu just as quick as i earn it. Especially during events. There have been many players i can say have been turned into instant millionaires here just by what i spend on collecting event items.

Current status it has been ok. But by my standards of ok is what other players are actually trying to get to, making probably like several billion off of stocks plus that i continue to by and sell, plus probably close to another billion or so from my shop in recent months or past 180 days or so. Shop purchases i have noticed have been slower than normal, but that is normal for me some times of the year as i do sell items for a specific type of player the collector.


Buying and selling, for me a cheap item for what i would need is like around 50 mill or so. expensive can end up being several hundred million and a few things into the billions. I have spend quite a bit over the last 180 days. i don't quite remember the exact amount for one specific item, but i have spent a total of around 2 billion or so in tu over this time that has been spread around.

Paying for items, I usually always pay in TU

Inflation/Deflation In general i think it has gone up a bit over time. But i think that is more for some of the real older items. And that in itself they should go up. If they are retired and harder to grt then they should fetch a higher price over time to get them as more of them get put into collections or galleries.



Cash Shop, I do buy often but it is hit and miss when i do if there is something i need for the collections or gallery. Not sure what the going exchange rate for Cp to Tu is i usually buy directly from the Cash Shop. Not sure if it is expensive or not, but i will say this i do not agree with the new clothing strategy of one random item per pack, the older version was i think a whole lot better for one set price and you got the whole set of items for it.. I Know there was a issue with people complaining about the price of items before, and i think you really ended up making it more expensive for clothing packs than it was before.

Gaining Tu, i make most my tu from my merchant shop and stocks. If you play the game then i think you can make tu at a steady rate, but i think it was a bit easier before when there was more features here in the game, which they should be put back. Deleting all those feature i really think hurts the game and leaves less things to do here. If new players feel there is not enough to do than how do you expect them to stay around for any length of time like i have.

i had made all sort of suggestions on that ideascale board that was up awhile back weather or not any of them are used is all to be seen. All i hear is promises of new features and additions here. But never see anything. After 10 years of being here the game itself has been in turmoil. plaqued with bugs, some have been fixed, most of the stuff that was supposed to be revamped or fixed just got deleted because nobody cared to do anything with it. But ii guess in time we will see if all this talk is just a big ol' smoke screen like usual or if it actually happens before you lose to many people here to even make it worth it anymore.

I am new so I can't say much about it and I know I do not have too much money, however I can't say I found it hard to get money, I just have to collect for a bit. But I did find that I gain money everyday, so I believe thats good.

 BUYING AND SELLING
Well I started trying to do squishy qeusts to get the eggs but I the squishys were expensive and I started losing more money then I gained and I wasn't sue I could make it to the 50th quest. 

 PAYMENT METHODS
Right now I have only been able to use TU I am still new so I hadn't had enough items or eggs to pay with, and I don't have money for CP.

INFLATION / DEFLATION
I am new so I can't really answer this but I do know that things I want to buy cost way more then things that everyone can get easily. For example all I want right now is a decent hair for my avatar, if there is a better way to do this I do not know this. I did not even find that many hairs. There was a blue hair I thought looked good, or this brown piggy tails with a bow, but both costed way too much for me to get, so until I save up a lot my character has to stay bald. I easily was able to get clothes, but hair was the issue.
CASH SHOP 
I haven gotten CP yet. If thats money through buying with real money like I think it is, then I probably won't be able to buy any, I do not have money.

GAINING TU 
I make TU by exploring and playing luck games. I think it has been working decently enough. I don't feel like I am struggling to make money. I simply just have to work at it, and its not that hard just time consuming but if I do it a little everyday I think i'll be fine.

NEW FEATURES
 I would like some fun creative games that are free to earn money, like dream avatar dress up quest, or quizes, or color a creatu. Things that you would get money for completing instead of it being chance or a competition, and it wouldn't have to be large amounts, it could be. but I think just makes us work for the TU is fine, as long as its not too hard.

I think there is enough TU around the site it just seems hard to get with so few people playing on the site now.

 BUYING AND SELLING
Cheap or Expensive is really a matter of opinion so not one person can answer for the entire site. I bought a 3mill TU Iluvu egg hoping to get an albino (i know the chances are low just trying is all) It seems to be a little harder to sell and buy things anymore. I think when I was last on in 2013 there was a whole lot more people playing then so TU was coming from everywhere.

 PAYMENT METHODS
Usually just pay with TU, nothing special

INFLATION / DEFLATION
I beileve the site has had a bit of Inflation but a 3 year gap will definitely make it seem that way

CASH SHOP 
I have only purchased CP once and it was to get my female Shaefu Shifoo. I don't use CP so I really don't know the going rate on any of it.

GAINING TU 
I usually just play the games and sell good hatches with good names. It isn't entirely too difficult to obtain TU but i don't think it needs to be mad anymore difficult than it already is.

NEW FEATURES
 If i could add any feature, i would either make it like Pokemon Amie where you can actually interact with your pets or something of the like. We already have the selected pet application we just need to do something more with it I think.

First, let me say that i have been on and off Res for over 7 years now. I don't think that there has ever been a lack of TU going around. I just believe that the amount new users start and items they start with is extremely low compared to what the average user requires. Plus, this probably discourages new users into staying/staying interested in the game. As always the rich get richer, and the poor stay pretty stagnant. Yes, older users have worked very hard to get where they are and they have a right to hoard or spend on what they want for additional profit. While that holds a lot of TU, i still don't believe that is the problem either. 

I feel that we are so eager to please those that fund Res through CS purchases, that we forget to tap in to the SEVERAL new users who typically rely on other users to actually learn the trick to the site and to get enough items/creatu/tu to enjoy the game and surpass the enormous beginners struggle. Also, the site has promised several new additions that would enormously help the Economy. Such as: Parties, Battling, New versions. And usually this just gets put on hold. Sometimes it feels to me that Res was forgotten and left to dig itself out of a hole. 

 BUYING AND SELLING
I am not such a good reporter on this since i haven't been very "active" in the past 180 days. Personally, i enjoy the extremely expensive items. It is what keeps the thrill in working towards goals. I think there just needs to be a better means of getting there. And there are SEVERAL "useless" items that almost every throws in the trash, deletes, or just gives away. Because items worth 1 tu, really should just retire or be taken out of the game. It is serving no use other than filling gaps in the trash.

 PAYMENT METHODS
Mainly TU, Credits, when i can afford CP, and sometimes people will want to trade pets. Items have really lost value it seems, unless the person is a collector.

INFLATION / DEFLATION
I'm still not sure how i feel about the retired eggs return to the CS shop and what this has done economy wise. I'm still not convinced that there is an inflation nor deflation. Just a larger gap between useless cheap items and ridiculously expensive items. Everything else, usually people have no purpose for unless it's event related.

CASH SHOP 
Still undecided on the CP v Credit thing. This was such a weird change for me right before haitus. 

GAINING TU 
For me it use to be CS items, HA items, and Stocks. I've heard that all have really lost their value recently. 

NEW FEATURES
Previously promised ideas listed above: New version, Parties, Battling ( OMG THIS WOULD HELP OUT SO MUCH WITH BOREDOM ). I would hate for more things to be added that required real money, as this would drive away users (although i understand the point of doing so). Instead, make the CS items that people do purchase with real money actually worth the cost, and not a basic requirement to survive as a user.

I think there is plenty of tu to go around, however, I think that it is kind of difficult to get it. I mainly make money from stocks but in order to make any tu selling creatu (I'm a rancher) it has to be super rare. Nobody wants to pay over 10000 tu for a natural valabex. In order to make money you have to have good stuff, which makes it really hard to do anything since to have good stuff you have to be rich enough to buy it.

 BUYING AND SELLING
Cheap for a creatu for me would be under 100,000 expensive would be over 700,000. Cheap for an item would be under 20,000 expensive would be over 50,000.  My most expensive purchase was a 700,000 silver otachie (what i considered a good deal) . I feel like the auction prices are going down, creatu are getting more affordable (good for buyers, bad for sellers)

 PAYMENT METHODS
I always pay in tu. I usually stay away from trades because traders are looking for good items that I just dont have access to.

INFLATION / DEFLATION
I am fairly new to rescreatu and have only gained enough tu to really be a part of the economy in the last few months. Looking back on when I first joined, I feel like the prices for creatu were a lot less then they are now, however, as a new user they still felt unattainable to me. I cannot pinpoint a specific time when prices jumped but they certainly did.

I have never before handled cash points. I'm broke in real life as well

GAINING TU 
I make tu through stocks or sometimes the luck games. I think it's  pretty hard to make tu. I remember a time when flash games returned tu but they don't anymore? I think that would make earning tu a bit easier.

NEW FEATURES
If I could add any new feature to rescreatu I would add some way to kind of disperse the wealth a bit. There was an event during Christmas I think, where you had a wishlist and by giving people what they had on their wishlist you got points or something in return. It was really cool because it was a sort of share the wealth set up, with both parties benefiting. Also, it would be great to make Kir quests a bit less hard. My current one is an albino Ardur, which is really rare and, even if I did have it in my showroom, I wouldn't give it up. I would still have those really hard to get ones in there but they would be worth more points and you could skip them for 100,000 tu. I mean just stuff so everyone can share a bit. Like the Botanist Quest, where you turn in things to get points that add up to really cool items. Nothing that costs tu though, because the rich users would just exploit that since they have billions. Do you think we could get any new creatu? That'd be super cool. Something that completely contradicts my last statement... interest for the banks? That's just what i would like though, I feel like big users would exploit it and it would lead to inflation. Thank you so much for listening to our thoughts. If any change gets implemented that would be awesome.

don't think there's enough tu, I've had to save for a long time to buy anything over 4mil tu

 BUYING AND SELLING
the cost of things have seemed to drop. example, clothing used to be at least 50k tu for cheap items, which is good if you're buying it, but bad for profit. Pets have dropped dramatically. I remember a time when Gingers sold for a couple mil each, now they're going for 200k and less.
 PAYMENT METHODS
mainly tu, it's what is asked for most. I've probably done 1 pet trade this year

INFLATION / DEFLATION
deflation mostly. not making enough to buy anything, because everything is too cheap. can't buy the more expensive things, spent 6mil on a name tag, which is cheap, and is almost broke me.

CASH SHOP
I don't make enough in real life to pay for game money, therefore I've never bought any CP. I don't make enough tu to buy CP from other players. I'd rather save for the item, which is often cheaper.

GAINING TU 
I make most of my tu from the stock market, which isn't all that dependable.

NEW FEATURES
 I think I would increase the amount of tu gained from the games, makes them more meaningful to play. possible add more features to win tu or other prizes worth the time. Like the egg count. 300tu just isn't worth the time to play it.

How do you feel the economy is currently doing? Is there enough TU to go around, or is there too much/too little?
Personally I think it's not that there's not enough tu going around, it's the fact that it can be difficult for some users to make the tu.
 BUYING AND SELLING
What would you consider to be "cheap" and "expensive" in regards to buying or selling something? What is the most expensive purchase you've made within the last 180 Days, and how much did you spend? Has it been easier to buy or sell goods within the past 180 days?
I would say over 15 mil is somewhat expensive to me, it really depends on the item though. And in 180 day I haven't really bought much or sold anything. I wasn't very active haha
 PAYMENT METHODS
How do you pay for things; whether it be TU, Pets, Items, or CP? Is it easy to make a purchase for something when not paying with TU?
Mostly tu. And it really depends on what you're buying and what that person wants.
INFLATION / DEFLATION
Would you say our economy is "inflated"? When did this "inflation" happen, if so? Can you recall a time when something costed less, and if possible please list why you think it increased in price over the time.
Yes, i would say over the past few years prices have drastically gone up. Honestly my memory isnt the greastest haha. People want things that are uncommon so i guess people know that and price things very high??
CASH SHOP 
Do you buy and sell CP ((Cash Points)) to make TU, or gain something else on the site? How much and how often do you usually purchase CP? What would you consider to be the "going rate" for CP? Do you find this amount too expensive, not enough, or just right? Do you think items sold in the Cash Shop are too expensive, not enough, or just right?
I don't really purchase cp, on occasion I do buy but from other players. items that are sold in the cash shop are at a pretty fair price i guess. Res has to make some sort income to keep it going.
GAINING TU 
What is the main way(s) in which you make your TU? Do you think it is easy or hard to make TU? How could making TU be made easier, if it is too hard, and if it is too easy how could it be harder to obtain?
A majority of my tu comes from stocks. It's not that hard to earn tu but for beginners it can be a hassle. Maybe more games that earn a decent about of tu //shot
NEW FEATURES
 If you could add ANY new feature to Rescreatu what would it be? What would the rewards be? Would it be free, or cost to play? How often could it be accessed? What other ideas would you implement into the feature?
I have no ideas

Over the last several years, the economy progressed from when I
joined in 2007 until about 2-4 years ago. I think there is enough tu in the
system, but I think that tu is held mostly by just a few users, primarily those
who have been here a while. If there was more of an incentive for users to
spread their wealth around aka spend more, the economy would settle down. As it
is there’s not much of a draw to do so, in my opinion.  



 



 BUYING AND SELLING



I don’t really do much buying or selling anymore. The last thing
I purchased, minus food, was a creatu with a name I desired for 200mil. Other
than that, I buy creatu for my collections or dye kits , and that’s about it.



 PAYMENT METHODS



I don’t have the cash flow to purchase CP, the joys of being a
student, so the last time I made a purchase from the Credit Shop was before the
switch to primarily CP sells. I know Res need cash, but it is annoying to only
be able to purchase 7 items from the CS, especially when you don’t need/want
said items. It also makes tu less rewarding to obtain.



 



INFLATION / DEFLATION



There is significant inflation in some areas of Res. I began to
notice it at two points: when Kir’s quest became big and when CP became a
thing. While folks initially got a lot of tu from Kir sells, once those pets
were gone and the newness died down, the economy tanked.



 



CASH SHOP 



See above comments. I think there need to be more credit
options, but I can’t comment on CP because I don’t purchase it.



 



GAINING TU 



I make most of my tu from either the stock market or creatu
sales.



 



NEW FEATURES



Anything. This site
has been stagnant for a while concerning events. Other than the occasional contests,
there’s not much going on. We used to have fun res themed holidays like
Mirabilis Day. Bring things like that back or something similar. Retire things
like Halloween items or apples or Enchanted Springs items that were supposed to
be special that have now been around for years. New costumes/clothing options
would be great, and some of those that have been around forever could be
retired. Kir needs to be more compatible for newer users. The other quests/games
could use revamping or at least updating to fit with the economy. Item updates-
why have items if they’re just a bunch of pixels and don’t do anything. There
are items that I’ve been waiting years for functions… Speaking of waiting
years, whatever happened to the new battle system? For that matter, HA features
need drastic updating, more than just clothes. I know these things take time
and money, but there haven’t been updates in a long time. I’ve been around for
a while, and sadly, there is little incentive, other than nostalgia, for me to
stick around. There needs to be something to keep the old folks refreshed and
interested.

I feel that there is not enough tu. It is difficult to find or get tu. I think there should be more raffles or jackpots so there will be lots of chances to get some tu.
 BUYING AND SELLING
I think 500,000 tu is really expensive and 4000 tu is cheap.
But it also depends on who the person is. (Beginner? Advanced?)
Also i honestly don't remember what was the most expensive thing i bought the past days.
 PAYMENT METHODS
I pay with only tu because i think the price for cash points or others are too expensive.
I also dont have a lot to start with.

INFLATION / DEFLATION
I joined not a while ago, so nothing really is, more expensive or less expensive than before.

CASH SHOP 
I have never bought cash points before but i think the price of the items in the cash shop is too expensive.
GAINING TU 
I honestly gain tu by selling value vouchers.
But also I think it is way too hard to get tu. If you want something REALLY badly you will never get it if you dont have enough tu. I think rescreatu should do more games with no cost and you can do it daily to earn lots of tu. Also lots more raffles!
NEW FEATURES
I would want to have like a special game that costs 1000 tu to play.
They do multiple games (like trivia, guessing, knowledge, or fun games) and there would be a prize for everyone that joined but the top ten gets something special and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd will get the prizes and any creatu egg or item they want. The game could only be played once a year in March and anyone on rescreatu that has the tu can play the game. The game could be scheduled for a special date and time.

Overall I think the economy is doing great, but I fell like in the future we should have an event where we can earn a little extra tu too.

BUYING AND SELLING
I would say "cheep" would be like, small unimportant items or natural easy-to-find creatu that people would buy just for collections or something. I would say "expencive" would be some creatu, cash shop items/creatu, and old event items (especially with the way people are overpricing things by WAY too much). The most expensive purchase I've made within the last 180 Days is probably buying a mutant narwi. I spent 10mill tu. I would say that is has been equal on buying and selling. I think I've bought more things in the last 180 days than I have sold though.

 PAYMENT METHODS
I normaly purchase things with eather tu, or trading for a pet (it would be easier to trade with items if there was like a showroom for items though. Overall, I think it's pretty easy to make a purchase with not paying TU.

INFLATION / DEFLATION
I dunno.

CASH SHOP 
I do not buy and sell CP to make TU or to gain something else on the site. I have never purchased CP. I think you should be able to buy CP with tu strait from the cash shop. I would guess the going rait in tu would be about 500k a CP. I don't know though. I find this amount too expensive. I think the items sold in the Cash Shop are just right?

GAINING TU 
Selling hatches, buying and selling in the stock market, and playing the luck games are the easiest, everyday ways I gain TU. I think it is easy to make TU. I don't know.

NEW FEATURES
The new features I would add to rescreatu would be breeding creatu, a contest to design a new creatu and a new effect once a year, and a cottage or house that you can decorate. It would be free, but you would have to pay for the items to decorate your house with. You would have to pay 100k tu to breed a pair of creatu. You couldn't breed the same pair of creatu until 48 hours later.

(How do you feel the economy is currently doing? Is there enough TU to go around, or is there too much/too little?)
I feel like there is plenty of Tu in the game it its either all stuck up in inactive/banned accounts or people just don't wanna spend it. 

 BUYING AND SELLING
(What would you consider to be "cheap" and "expensive" in regards to buying or selling something? What is the most expensive purchase you've made within the last 180 Days, and how much did you spend? Has it been easier to buy or sell goods within the past 180 days?)
Id consider 50mil plus "expensive" and up to 5mil "cheap". The most expensive thing I've bought recently was probably the name "Brain" for 300mil. I think buying things is always easy because there's always people wanting to sell and make Tu. It's selling that's the hard part for me. People always want to buy the rarest, most expensive items for the cheapest prices which isn't always possible xD

 PAYMENT METHODS
(How do you pay for things; whether it be TU, Pets, Items, or CP? Is it easy to make a purchase for something when not paying with TU?)
I usually pay in Tu purely because that is what people are mainly interested in. I like to spend the CP I get for myself so it's a rare occasion i'd offer to pay for something with CP and I'd pay with pets/items when I can

INFLATION / DEFLATION
(Would you say our economy is "inflated"? When did this "inflation" happen, if so? Can you recall a time when something costed less, and if possible please list why you think it increased in price over the time.)
I remember when I joined on this account, NCJBs and RMPs cost a few mil less. Also so did albino and blonde creatu. I think the price has increased with demand for them. But that's all that comes to mind

CASH SHOP 
(Do you buy and sell CP ((Cash Points)) to make TU, or gain something else on the site? How much and how often do you usually purchase CP? What would you consider to be the "going rate" for CP? Do you find this amount too expensive, not enough, or just right? Do you think items sold in the Cash Shop are too expensive, not enough, or just right?)
As I said I usually keep my CP to spend for myself. Almost all of the time it goes on CS egg nests. CP at the moment goes for around 500-600k which I think is a very fair price. As for the price of things in the CS id say the prices are just right compared to the "Cash shops" on other online games I've seen

GAINING TU 
(What is the main way(s) in which you make your TU? Do you think it is easy or hard to make TU? How could making TU be made easier, if it is too hard, and if it is too easy how could it be harder to obtain?)
I personally make most of my Tu from playing stocks. Occasionally I sell a high coloured pet or two. Those are ways I make the most Tu in one go. I think it's getting increasingly difficult to make tu, especially for new users. 10k in this economy is practically nothing so they find the game very difficult to begin with. I think to make making Tu easier we'd have to add a few new features which I'll suggest in my next answer ;)

NEW FEATURES
 (If you could add ANY new feature to Rescreatu what would it be? What would the rewards be? Would it be free, or cost to play? How often could it be accessed? What other ideas would you implement into the feature?)
Well these mostly aren't brand new feature but additions to features we have at the moment. 
•Make Kir ask for mutants, achros and Quelis. The demand for these creatu would go up, making them worth more to sell. 
• Give a new user 1mil starting Tu. That way they could buy some hatches, play more games and have an all round easier start to the game ~ making them want to stick around. 
• Maybe something like the Atquati springs except it's not free to play, you have to give offerings of Tu to enter. The more Tu you have, the more it costs but the better prizes you recieve. The Tu taken can be given as a prize for poorer users visiting so that the tu is cycled fairly back into the game.

  There is always enough Tu to go around. I don't see that becoming a problem and I do believe our economic systems work great for the amount of people on this site and you can pay for things in trade if you don't have money. There are also auctions along with your rancher and merchant shops.
BUYING AND SELLING
  In the realms of buying and selling, I personally would consider "cheap" to be 500,000 Tu or less. Expensive is when you get over 5 million Tu. The most expensive thing I bought in the past 180 days was the silver and gold dye kit for about 5 million Tu. It has definitely been easier to buy and sell things lately considering how much money I've been making in my merchant shop and the raffle winnings I got a week ago. 
PAYMENT METHODS
  I normally buy things using Tu but when I don't I usually trade and that works out very well. I haven't ever really traded a creatu to buy something before but I could see how that could be it's own efficient trading system. 
INFLATION / DEFLATION
  I think that the economy has inflated. It seems every time I sell an item in my merchant shop, the price keeps getting lowered as a battle begins over who can maintain the lowest price. Sometimes it goes so far as to making it cost 1 Tu.  
CASH SHOP
  Seeing that I can't use a credit card or anything to get my cash points, I have not yet been able to access the cash shop and purchase anything although I would love to. 
GAINING TU
  I think gaining Tu is difficult by way of merchant shops but I think that's a good thing because it makes the game more realistic and I've always loved that feature of the game. It makes you want to play it more when you set up goals you have to meet over time by earning money. I think it could be made a bit easier if the prices on things would stop dropping more and more. I think there should be a limit on how cheap you can sell an item. (I've had several items sell for 1 Tu). 
NEW FEATURES
  If I could add any new features, I would add a battle mode where you could battle opponents and gain Tu or items from winning. I would also make a training arena for the creatu where you could personally train your creatu. There would be a different one on each home planet and you could only train one session each 24 hours. It would help you in battle and gain your pets agility, intellect, and other points like that. all of this could be access in a separate mini app but there would be a link that would let you go to the app from the website if the app was already owned.

I believe there is enough tu to go around!

 BUYING AND SELLING
The most expensive purchase i've made in the last 180 days was most likely to buy an Achro/Albino pet - around 20-ish mil.
Expensive = Black/Albino/Achro CS/retired-CS
Inexpensive, yet desired = Dyed creatu

 PAYMENT METHODS
Most people prefer tu, so sometimes that's difficult because I have TONS of pet that nobody wants to buy.
If I made an estimation : 9/10 of my buys are offers made of full tu.

INFLATION / DEFLATION
When I first joined Rescreatu, I remember retired-CS being a more reasonable price, and same goes for pets with real names.
The prices of bought have increased by a LOT, but it's understandable.

CASH SHOP 
I think they're a bit expensive. I do not buy CP because I feel like I wouldn't be gaining much.

GAINING TU 
I gain tu through the stock market or through buying/selling pets. I wouldn't consider it difficult or too easy to gain tu this way.
If you don't have the tu to invest, then it's difficult.
If you don't understand the trend, then it could be difficult and risky.
But even if you HAVE the tu to invest and you DO understand the trends, you still have to wait for your stocks to rise.

NEW FEATURES
 Types of raffles would be cool - or activities to involve users more!
Prizes and participation prizes would be cool!
...It might be wise to consider what other pet sites do to bring their community together.

I currently feel like there is plenty of tu around. It's just the matter of those with mass amounts no longer having things that they wish to spend it on, or nothing to really put it into activity wise, so they then are saving it in their banks to gather dust instead of circulating around. And that is why it appears that the rich or older users stay rich while the newer or average aged account users are struggling. Older users already have most things that the newer users are currently just getting.
I feel like the economy could use a little jiggle, something that'll perk up the older/rich users while also interesting the newer/average ones as well.

 BUYING AND SELLING
Recently spent 3k cp and 8 billion tu on an albino liyure.
I feel like if you really want something, and you set your sights on that something you can achieve it if you keep at it. And thats what I did with the liyure.
Also recently spent 300m tu on random things like natural coloured jellybeans and random morphing potions.
Cheap for me would range 100tu-500m tu, depending on what I'm looking at or aiming to buy, like is it a seriously amazing name I'm after or something.
 And expensive would be 1b-10b.

 PAYMENT METHODS

I pay with tu or do pet trades mostly to achieve my sought after overall goal.

INFLATION / DEFLATION

Our economy has increased in prices for things, yes, from what it used to be in v2-3. Things appear to be drastically cheaper 8 years ago(versus today). But I feel like value wise its the same. Tu held way more value then in that it was so much harder to get and it was such an achievement to be able to afford a gold and silver dye kit from the black market.
I honestly don't feel like its necessarily the economy being inflated where as theres just more tu readily available/easier to obtain versus how absolutely hard it was to get back in the day.

CASH SHOP 
I do buy cp once in awhile to buy creatu eggs for myself or to sell.
When its the retired eggs in the shop I sell the cp because I typically have way more than I need.
I feel like the market value for items in the CS are fair. It gives users who don't wish to spend real money a chance to still get the items in the shop, most sites don't even offer that type of thing.

GAINING TU 

The stock market and restocking my merchant shop. 
I restock with holiday/seasonal items or older items that I got ages ago that now have value. I do sometimes restock from the actual merchant shops.

NEW FEATURES

The level of your rancher/merchant shop could have an egg unlocking feature, that as you upgrade your shop you are able to unlock different level eggs(rarity wise) to hatch, or you are able to hatch certain creatu. There can be an exclusive rancher market with a few more rare eggs, that arent available to merchants that ranchers can purchase with their shop points. 
And the level/upgraded level of your merchant shop can aim to unlock other shops on the market, there could be an ultimate type of shop that sells more rare and desirable items that only really high achieved/upgraded merchants can access(like the black market). 
Users could get 1 point per creatu/item they sell in their rancher/merchant shops.

Scoreboards/trophy for top sellers in both merchant and rancher shops every month with a prize of 5m tu to the first place winners of each and silver/bronze to second and third. These trophies can be stack-able for over all leader boards so that you can receive more than one of each trophy. Like "Hey Mike current has 124 gold trophies, I need to keep working at mine so I can pass him, I've got 113 at the moment". It could go by the item/pet amount sold versus tu amount so it'd be more fair to all levels of class.

More pet based quests, like quests that require you to get just a certain type/species for each species. Each would have different random payouts of rewards based on the pet(colour). These quests can also have a monthly score board, and random rare prizes that can sometimes be won while doing said quests, like the squishy quests.
Example: For newer users there could be a strictly naturals quest. That asks for natty creatu. The rewards could be between 1k-10k. And this can be altered as the market changes.

Food(cooking supplies)/clothing(makeup/jewelry)/plushie and toy/weapons/book(school supplies, craft)/pharmacy/furniture item based quests so that the restocked items have a place to be turned in to or function.

Bring back pet trading.

Pet auctions would be amazing with a search feature for a certain species or colour.
More restriction on the length of a pet auction, some of the lengths of some of the auctions at the moment are just ridiculous, lol

While doing quests or restocking it could be possible to achieve a bonus or extra hatch for another egg/creatu(rare).

--Will maybe add/edit more later, I've got so many ideas. Also sorry if none of these make sense. LOL--
