Just wanted to make a suggestion regarding the name clearings to see if it might be feasible, and help out people who might really really want a pet have a better chance at getting it.

Right now, anyone can go in and purchase 1 ticket per pet and they can get 1 ticket for every pet as long as they have the tu.  It makes it fair, but it can also be very frustrating for someone who might see a name or pet they really want and there is no way for them to up their chances for just that one pet.  Even if they don't care about any other pet in that current batch.

Due to this, I am proposed a ticket-buying system...kind of similar to the lottery, but not really?  I think people should be able to purchase a certain amount of tickets each week with tu, then the pets can have a ticket price instead of a tu price.  So, for example:  A prehistoric pet might be worth 2 tickets, while a regular pet is worth one.  On top of this, allow people to spend more than one ticket to up their chances at getting the pet.  For example: You can submit a maximum of 10 tickets in total.  You can either put all 10 tickets into one pet, or spread them out if you want more than one pet, so 1 ticket on this pet, 3 tickets on this pet, 2 on this one, and 4 on this pet....if that makes sense.

Just an idea to give people an ability to overbid on the pets that they may really want.  I believe it would still be fair since everyone can buy the same number of tickets and spend the same number of tickets each week.  They just will be able to put more tickets onto a pet they really want to increase their chances of getting that pet, plus people might be more careful about choosing which pets they want instead of buying 1 ticket for every pet to have a chance at getting something.

We considered all options when designing the name clearing feature and decided that one ticket per person would be the most fair for everyone.
I can bring this up to staff but do know that it was an avenue we looked at :]

This idea was indeed discussed. However, it favors the richer users and therefor doesn't seem all that fair, unfortunatly. Thanks for laying it out in a very articulate way, though!

No support.
Ones with the most tu, will get everything.

I don't know how you figure that ones with the most tu would get everything, when there is still a cap on how many tickets you could purchase/use every week.
