No I'm not making this suggestion because I think Kir should be easier. I understand that Kir was originally meant to stimulate the economy. The problem is that kir request for so many rare pets that users spend more time being stuck than getting rid of pets in order to do this. I've seen pets priced lower than ever before, evidently his purpose is not going through all that well. I'm just make suggestions.

1. Hold off on letting kir request for a pet until there are so many of them available. I recently heard of someone that needed a calico vaspi.  There are actually more albino omni on rescreatu than there are calico vaspi. I'm not saying it should be a permanent restriction, however the longer a user is stuck, the less they are helping the economy. 

2. Have him ask for a lot of common colored pets in bulk. These pets need taken off the board to, the rarer colors are not the only ones that need a price boost. Say for a bulk run that a user has to give him about 10-30 (or what ever number you guys think is appropriate) pets of a more common color before they get the point? And they are only allowed to donate so many per day. This still keeps the quest more challenging.

3. Have him request for common pets more often. He goes for higher value pets a lot more often than not, and that is only helping get colors like silver, blonde, bino and calico down. This is not helping the rest of the colors which he'll only ask for on occasion. I'm not saying users should never get stuck on a quest, kir still needs to be challenging, but as of right now the amount of challenge simply keep him from performing the task of helping the pathetic excuse for rescreatu's economy.

4. Raise the number of points needed for prizes. Now this is only if such actions were taken, Kir still needs to be hard. But this way at least while he's being hard at points a lot more of the common pets would be out of the system. 

In brief, I do not want to make Kir less challenging because I think it's to hard to do. All sites need some challenging goals. I simply believe the way he is now, that he's not performing his initial task as well as he should be performing it. The economy is still terrible, actually it's worse than it used to be before kir. So really I just want kir to serve his purpose better than he does now.

Taken from the 'topics not open for debate' thread:

'Anything to make Kir's Quest less difficult or challenging
As stated previously, it is supposed to be difficult.'

I do think this is a suggestion that does make Kir easier. Making Kir request pets that are in bulk is the same thing as making Kir request more common pets as common pets are generally pets that are available in large numbers.
 
Raising the amount of points needed for prizes does make Kir a bit harder, but I believe the rate in which people will earn these points will be far higher than anticipated (since more available pets will allow people to play Kir's quest more frequently).

I also do believe that Kir will need additional programming for this to occur as he will need to analyse the amount of creatu on the whole site. I'm no programmer, but I guess a lot of people participate in Kir's quest and these calculations may slow down res a lot (remember the original food pens? I think the stress on the server will be similar to that). It's easier to just make Kir select a random creatu xD

I think he serves his purpose quite well. Though he is not at maximum efficiency, I think he's good enough. To me, the costs outweigh the benefits.
