Hi all!

FAPA, or Feed All Play All is an accessibility tool being sold as a convenience in Oasis for 5gb per 30 days

It makes the game actually playable for disabled people, people with busy lives, or people who don't have the time to manually feed potentially hundreds of lions every few days and manually play with potentially hundreds of lions every day. I myself have several issues with my hands and need to pay the fee just to be able to play the game at all.

For this reason it should be free and be able to be opted in in the same area of Oasis or be an optional setting on player profiles. No one should have to pay for the ability to play a free browser game.

The setting should be optional for people who want to not have it active for any reason, just to clarify.

comments on this post will no longer be read by the poster. Do not make any attempt to reach out to me- you will be blocked. Feel free to still leave comments as you, the reader, wish. To the people in the comments who left constructive criticism and/ or good alternative suggestions without attempting to argue with me directly, telling me that I'm just lazy and
to suck it up, making judgements of my character or financial status, or being off topic- thank you for doing so.

Edit 3, to quote Sani (#306974) from the comments: "I can already see some sort of welfare clan for disabled players going very poorly and I hope we can completely disregard that alternative to focus on the actual point of the post.

On an anonymous online browser game, how is a player supposed to "prove" their disability to be in the clan, especially when countless disabilities aren't visible? And otherwise, how do you stop non-disabled players from taking advantage of the program? It's also somewhat demeaning in itself to start pooling money to strangers so they can afford an accesibility tool, rather than the site being accessible to them in the first place. When a site like this one is founded in community efforts, it's very important to keep the entire site open and accessible to all players. Removing flash options, reducing movement, hiding markings, colorblind modes, etc. are all free accessibility tools available to players. A lot of people have mentioned that once you get to a higher number of lions, it becomes extremely tedious to have to interact with each lion individually. That's more than just from the disabled players in the community, it's from the busy ones too. I think it's an excellent idea to make fapa free if it's inconveniencing a large part of our playerbase, especially if it's viewed as an accessibility tool by some. A disabled player shouldn't need to pay $60 usd worth of premium currency every year to be ABLE to play the game without enduring unnecessary pains."

EDIT: Also, the aspect of it being a gb sink does not hit the intended demographic for it being one- it hits low income players instead. A gb miser with thousands or tens of thousands of gb isn't concerned with a 5gb fee.

Edit 2: An addendum for some concerns of both commenters and about comments by myself:

1. A suggestion was made in the comments to make a more premium version of FAPA that keeps toy and food benefits when used and make that paid and the original free which I support (Thanks Equagga|G5 Harbinger

!)

2. Lioden welfare is a ridiculous suggestion for a website with documented cases of doxxing over rls let alone anything else its ridiculous for which is also explored in the comments.

3. If I don't know you then I do not care about the details of your life. I opened the floor for opinions and constructive criticism, keep personal details out of the conversation please. THIS HAS BEEN ADDED AFTER ONE PERSON USED THE FLOOR AND THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES TO ARGUE ENDLESSLY IN THE EARLY COMMENTS- NOT BECAUSE I ONLY CARE ABOUT MYSELF. My hand issues are the only relevant issues to this discussion, I have much more but I didnt talk about them here bc its irrelevant.

4. "Conveinience items irl arent free" they're also accessibility tools or services and that is its own seperate issue. This is an online game and FAPA takes zero tangible resources.

5. "But 5gb isnt too much" I dont care. No one should have to pay to play a free game. Other games of this nature have FAPA as the default and free. Saying "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" over pixels is real weird.
Thank you for taking the time to read!
