Sorry they got sold.

I don't know if this belongs in this thread but the item Exceptional Infertility Kit... NO! Please discontinue this item! PLEASE! And disable the effects of it on pets it's been used on! IT IS NOT FAIR TO PLAYERS WHO WANT BREEDABLE THEMED PETS!! This is basically allowing players to do what humane society's and animal shelters do by nudering and spaying cats and dogs! If you don't discontinue this item then at least PUT A RESTRICTION ON IT TO ONLY BE USED ON OFFSPRING OF THE PLAYER WHO CREATED/BRED THAT PET!!! I've been on Sylestia from the very beginning and this is the first item I am.COMPLETELY OPPOSED TO.

It works the same way as the one-time-use philters - you can only sterilize pets you own. Everyone who owns a sterilized pet either did it themselves or bought it with the 'sterilized' icon plainly visible. You won't just wake up one day and find that someone else has sterilized all of your pets.

No no I knew all that already lol I just don't like the fact that now if someone buys the item they can sterilize their tagged pets as much as they want. I think tagged pets should be excluded from the list of pets that can be sterilized because EVERYONE is gonna start doing it. There's already people offering to do it for other players like they do with the test kits. I really think this item should be discontinued immediately as it's gonna wreck the game for a lot of people.

Well most people won't sterilize actual tagged pets.
But their offspring? yeah. There's a reason for that tho. If someone has put in the hard work to bring their tagged offspring to 6(or however many) vis and they don't want others using their hard work to make money off it.
It makes sense that they should be able to do something about it. AKA Hard work + someone buys offspring from two people that are unrelated and makes more offspring to sell = not something most people want.
It worries me that your concern is people protecting their hard work? (or did I misunderstand?)

Why on earth would anyone make a tagged infertile? A huge part of their worth is their offspring. I'm not sure why you think people would do that - but even if they did it would be their choice, their pets. It's definitely not going to be a widespread issue though lol themed pets pretty much exist for project making etc. this infertility feature is to allow people to make their project pets infertile to stop people using someone elses hard work as a springboard for their own projects. It will make offspring more valuable and make people more keen to sell high-vis offspring.

I know that it's supposed to be a personal pet project item. But there are still people who would use it the way I just explained. I'm not going to name them, but I've already encountered a bunch of people who would do it. Just because they don't want someone else to breed that same tagged species. Oh sure they'll sell you the pet, but they want to sterilize it first in case you decide to sell your offspring cheaper then theirs. So yes there are some people who would do it, as dumb as that is. And yes we can't really tell people how to play the game, but I don't think the game needs this item. If someone wants to sterilize a pet they should just buy the one time use item.

People wouldn't buy this hypothetical persons pets though? The second a tagged pet is sterilized it's value will drop dramatically and it becomes useless to everyone but people who just want to have a pet to look at it. If this person is fine selling Taggeds only to the few collectors who would accept sterilized Taggeds, and only for a minimal version of the price it would be normally be then they can do that but the vast, vast majority of people will continue to want to true value for their tagged pets. No one person has control over any theme, and I like to think people on Sylestia aren't spiteful enough to irreversibly sterilize a brand new Fabled or whatever just so other people can't enjoy breeding it.

I think you're blowing this tiny issue that would be an "Issue" for a very small minority of people - if any - way out of proportion. Most people like to make profit on their pets, or at least break even, not so much cutting their noses off to spite their face.
