There are too many lions in game for almost anything to hold value. If there was some way to “sell” our lions directly back into the game, instead of going to desperately lower and lower prices hoping to get something, anything for them, I believe it would help the overall heath of the economy. It’s also about 300% more sane than the most prominent suggestion I’ve heard floating around of a purge/cleanse of lions against people wills.

In this scenario, you would have a function to sell lions for a given price (likely sb based, in order to keep gb scarcity dependent on IRL money sales in order to fund the game). These prices would be dependent on different factors, though probably primarily mutation/base rarity (common/uncommon/rare/special) as well as possibly number of marks. I think it’s especially important to have a way to get rid of mutations for a reasonable amount of money, since chasing is not an option in game without losing the only value in it.

People are desperate to get something for their lions, and the constant undercutting of prices is making it harder and harder to sell anything at all.

This option would likely cause a rise in gb value, due to the increase in sb present in the market, but would also likely increase the health and stability of the lion economy overall.
It would be a consensual and reasonable way to improve the overall game experience for a lot of people and help to enable scarcity in a game with nearly 4 million lionesses.


EDIT: My current idea for implementation.
It could be available less often but regularly, say 1 week a month or even 1 day a month, or maybe a particular lunar event opens a “portal” that you can chuck lions into get something back, etc
