Khisyra (#4892) You cannot compare the image of a pet on a pet site to actual commissions/adopts. The pet image is drawn once and it's meant to be existing in multiple copies on site. An adopt goes for so much because it's 1 copy of the pet being sold. Both aren't comparable.
That we are paying for art is very true, but the way it's set up is dumb (forcing us to buy things we don't want), just let us buy the hatchable directly, it'd be far more normal.
I do understand that we're paying for work and art, for a game, but again, this pet isn't meant to be an adopt (and with your argument it's actually customs pets and clothes that should be paid with RLC and yet it's only obtainable via fake currency, both systems are just weird)
