Honestly I no supported because I feel like this would be detrimental to the comb market and statters? if i'm wrong someone let me know but that's basically the reason for them expiring.

^ Agreed. Stat food HAS TO expire or we'll have to deal with stat monsters abusing the system all over again.

This has been suggested before, and I'm going to copy/paste the reason I disagreed with it then, because I haven't changed my mind.

Honeycomb is available all year round as-is, through game prizes; and many people use a side account to freeze both Honeycomb and Egg Yolks to feed their stat lions. Those 15k+ kings got there by their players feeding them Honeycomb and Egg Yolk all through their lives, so while it's not usually a lot of stats in a single use, they do add up.

Can you imagine if every player could do that without having to plan around events, mass buy, and plan rolling/feeding schedules?

In Feb. I managed to buy 100 Yohimbe Barks on a single accounts worth of effort (plus the decor I wanted, a bunch of Lovebird Plumage, some balls and grains), but let's only count the Bark -> Honeycomb ratio. That'd be 300 Honeycomb I can buy in Feb, since I have very little use for the breeding items (I bought them to use as prizes in a contest, not to use lol). I assume that I'm not the only person out of more than 100k users that has little to no use for the breeding items, so I wouldn't be the only one that could afford/would want to switch from buying breeding items to sell later, to buying something I'd use.

If you're not feeding your lion anything else, you can feed them one honeycomb a day. So, just using my numbers, I could be rolling in honeycomb for 300 days straight - almost a year! - without participating in the site economy at all. That's 24 lion years of honeycomb. I could feed an adult lion honeycomb every day for it's entire productive life, just on my own labor in a single month and still have plenty left over.

Right now, if I buy as many honeycomb as I can hoard I can give my lions, 100? total honeycomb if I use a side as a storage and take out as many as possible to feed my lion at a time (someone correct me if this is wrong, I've never bothered to do it so my math might be off).

So first, that's not really a huge difference in the amount of honeycomb you can feed to your lion if you're smart about it (you can give a lion I think 160-ish honeycomb over it's life?). Second, to make up that difference, I need to participate in the site economy by buying the other 50-ish from other people- which is super important! If no one spends GB, then there's no incentive to keep buying it from the site.

Maybe a compromise to give honeycomb a longer shelf life would work better? You could have it around for 15 or 20 days instead, after that it would expire.

@#113568: Sounds awesome! I actually like that better now that I think of it.
