Everyone that invested in those pockets now can make 0% profit, no NEW monster pockets were added to the game, and the CE price will just keep plummeting.

It's only your own fault if you get burned over such investments.
A person doesn't get burned over this investment. They break even.
What bothers me is new monster pockets were not created, which is slightly implied in that statement. Also, OOO keeps adding giant crown sinks to make CE worthless, sure that's great for some people, but I like me some crowns. Which no one seems to have anymore.
Paweu:
"Nonna will be in town through April 30th, 2012. She will return some time in the future, but you never know which monsters she will have available for adoption!"
i See....
i have two things to say:
1.
"but you never know which monsters she will have available for adoption!"
that means they never said there would be new ones.
2.
i want to know when she leaves.
Naturally, if the CE is low, people who were selling it will be upset and if the CE is high, people who were buying it will be upset.
Anyways, I guess I should go on and try getting a pet.
So I could have profited by a factor of ten, and I ignored this several months ago?\
I hate me.
I as well invested in old monster pockets. Although these were months ago, they were a heavy demand, and people were pulling out millions of crowns in hopes of profit. A mewkat sold the other day for 1.9 million crowns, and now, days later, can be obtained by anyone who wants it.
I don't expect it going to be as profitable this time around as more people see that these are popular items and will pick them up now and keep them. Leaving the demand lower than before because the supply has inflated.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't Nonna visited up to three times already? Yet they still haven't added any new monsters :( Oh well, the mewkat and love puppy are good enough for me ^^
PokeMon are back. And they're the same ones.
Fixed.
On a more related note...why are people complaining about profit? It's an item sold by an NPC at a fixed price for players to use. If you wanted to sell it after the NPC vanishes to get some profit fine, but you have zero right to complain if the NPC returns and continues selling them at the same price.
In fact, to emphasise the point; how would you feel if it returned and was selling them at a lower price? Pretty cheated? I wonder how people feel who bought it off of you at higher markups?
If they knew the situation and were impatient to wait for the NPC to return, then that's their choice. Ofc, not everyone knew that they were sold by an NPC and could have paid 500k for them without realising that.
They're there to be purchased by you to be used by you; OOO did not introduce them into the game specifically for you to make profit, and since you didn't actually lose any money over it then it was your own damn fault if you went and bought ten of them just to resell and are now stuck with dead weight.
wait...so 1+ million crowns wasn't a high enough rate of profit that you were still holding onto them?? :O
The risks of being a merchant...especially when OOO gave an explicit warning that they'd be returning with monster pockets in the future...
Is this an accurate personification of how you are currently feeling?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6O86LPz5RU
I wonder if ^ person feels as cheated as the OP would if Nonna came back and was selling them at lower prices than last time. I wonder if the OP cares, so long as it's someone else losing out.
Cliffs:
-OP upset OOO is giving newer players an equal opportunity to enjoy accessories
-OP feels OOO should prioritize his mercantile interests over the happiness of everyone else
-OP did not read warning on the label
"damn, i wanted that 5* lionheart blade but I'm suck with this 2* honor crap"
"damn they gave me another chance to buy monster pockets"
Poor OOO. They keep failing.
Personally, I find monster pockets creepy on multiple levels
I do agree with Bacon on the fact that it is sad how someone has bought something with the mindset of selling it to someone later on when the prices rises, only to wait a tad too long and suddenly, we have Nonna back, and the prices went back down to 175k cr per.
Also, they did it with Halloween, in bringing back all the already used masks, introducing no new ones (well, technically one could say the bomb head was a mask, though that was a rather lazy one + you had to get box opening luck). I predict OOO are going to just reuse old content in the upcoming Winter event, probably just slap the same box thing as on Halloween as well, and call it good.
In the end, the players who have been around the longest don't even get items to say that they have been, unless they were around as long as Beta, to which they have their Groundbreaker. Still, all in all, new monster pockets would have been nice. Tiny little wolver pup, maybe a yesman, or perhaps even a little gremlin would have been nice. Oh well, guess not.
/think My Guild Master just sold Mewkat Pocket for 1.9 million crowns a day ago he came back.
Is it really so bad that new ones aren't being released? I'm all for new content, but that doesn't mean that every time something happens it should include brand new stuff. Nonna isn't coming back to flood the game with new stuff every time, she's back so that players who missed it the last time have a chance to get some.
I missed the Hallowe'en event last year, so never got the masks. Coming back this year gave me a chance to grab them as well. Why do we need new stuff on top of that? Players who already had them still got something from the event thanks to boxes; the masks were catering to those who missed them previously.
Honestly this "we need new stuff" attitude mainly comes from people like the OP, who just want fresh stuff to buy up and sell in 6 months. The main reason they're raging is because with the same accs out again, even waiting 6 months will have a diluted value since there's even more of them now; brand new stuff means less of them which means profit and, as I said earlier, these NPCs are not here to cater to greedy merchants and their despicable need to make as much profit as humanly possible. The world does not revolve around merchants; sometimes it'd be nice to consider the other people who just want a shot at getting accs without having to pay ridiculous markups to merchants, hmm?
What bothers me is new monster pockets were not created, which is slightly implied in that statement.
I'm afraid that I simply must disagree here.
She will return some time in the future, but you never know which monsters she will have available for adoption!
Nope. Doesn't imply that at all. Well, no, I'm wrong in that. It very well could. Doesn't really warrant this reaction though if you take into account that it could also imply that out of the current monsters in existence, she might not have all three available in future visits...
