  Would love to hear from the users.

  
  

  Pet Requests

  We launched Pet Requests earlier this week. A bit of a bumby start with them refilling but most things seem to be working smoothly.

  What do you think about them? Like them? Love them? Think they would be awesome if they had X or did Y?

  
  

  Gardening

  We launched Gardening a few weeks ago. I've seen a lot of chatter about them - but I'm curious on what y'alls thoughts are on the feature?

  Like it? Love it? Think it could be better if X or Y was done?

  
  

  Thanks everyone :)

  Next week I plan on doing a lot of refinements and less new features. Some of the concepts I'm considering are:

  - Lowering duration on some of the requests

  - Adding exclusive items as rewards from some of the store NPCs

  - Lowering food/happiness impact

  - Extending expire times a bit to encourage clearing out some that may be less desirable

  - Putting exclusive seeds behind some requests

  - Adding titles to long requests

  - Adding achievements to requests

  I like them, I'd love it if there was a chance to get stats from them

  Would be cool to have more long-term use for the plants. I'm doing it for the achievements and cause some are rare foods right now but afterwards I don't see a lot of reason to keep gardening as all I do with the apple is buy more seeds and throw the non-apple ones away because I don't really have a use for them. Maybe gardening could give you points to buy on a separate store with themed items or something like that, or even work on stats like they said above

  I love the idea of getting exclusive items from NPCs at specific friendship levels. Truthfully I haven't spent a lot of time with the NPCs because I haven't really seen a reason to do so. Despite this, I do think all the requests should help with your friendship levels with the characters. I realize that the ones that boosts stats are exclusively for that, but your pet is still helping the NPC, maybe it can increase the friendship *slightly*. I also like the idea of getting exclusive seeds through NPCs as well. Maybe one of the seeds can help members get a specific pet?

  
  

  I also agree with the idea there should be achievements tied to the requests.

  But I ain't got a hammer / And I ain't got a pencil / And I ain't got a lasso / So I'm doing it the hard way / Like a post post-modern man

  There's a couple changes I'd personally love to see in Gardening:

  
  

  1. Move the remove plant option from the drop down and put it somewhere else on the page. I've been trying to grow maya seeds and every time I accidentally click on remove when I'm watering them I have a mild heart attack. If someone were to remove a plant, check the box to not show the "are you sure?" warning again, completely forget about it, and at some point accidentally remove a plant they really wanted while trying to water it that would hurt. 
  

  2. It would be convenient to have a way to water plants without constantly having to open the drop down menu. Maybe an option for upgraded accounts to give them an extra perk? 

  
  

  3. Tangentially related, but when exchanging seeds please don't let the menu see inside your vault! I grew a crystal apple and stored it, but it still shows up on the exchange list. This is a super minor nitpick, I know. I know myself well enough that there's a chance I'm not thinking clearly and trade something that I stored to try and protect from myself, haha!

  I.. Don't know why my post repeated itself like that in the first paragraph, sorry for my long post getting even longer!
