With Rare Week Starting soon, I thought I should go ahead and comment my thoughts about it. And in All truth:
Rare Week Is A Bad Idea!
Let me explain before I get some hate my way. The meaning of "rare" means a item is so limited that not many people have it. And that's why so many scramble, trade, or scam to get their hands on them. Rares, such as P-Toes and uptown hair, are the most wanted rares of MSP.
People are able to feel some sense of accomplishment because they have something everyone don't have. So, bragging rights basically.
Rares are the main things that make trading worth while. You trade a rare for a rare. Or, you sell your Rare to get a huge amount of starcoins in the form greets.
It's the value of want and low supply that makes a "Rare"...well, a Rare.
And now, since Rare Week is starting, it's all going to be meaningless. Everyone will have rares and the rares will not even be rares anymore. Just items. People will argue with me that not everyone will be able to buy rares. Only the VIPs will mostly benefit from this.
Well, that's not true. All someone has to do is make enough alternate accounts to buy the rares to gift to their main account. It's not that hard.
Bottom Line and the truth: The rares most of you are planning to purge for are going to be worth zilch. Nada. Zero.
That sounds harsh but it's true. Don't get me wrong. I myself is excited for Rare week because I have something to spend my starcoins on. Heck, I've even made a alternate account to store all my rares on. PLUS, I'm planning to buy tales 10-15 copies of each rare. But, I have to face the facts myself.
I wasting my money of "items" not rares.
So, I ask the question: "What are your thoughts of Rare Week? Is it good or is it bad?"
Until then, Later Kittens,
