I fully support this, and a big reason why is that the Fire Escape game awards 200 CB and 100 DB if you get the max reward. Therefore, if studs cost 200 DB they should by the same logic cost 400 CB. Also, the Preservers and Destroyers utilize the same currency and there are far more items than the peddler, so while I know I can have an internal debate between buying a buffy and 3 studs, the decision to ignore *so much decor* and eye apps vs 1 stud is pretty bad.

If I’m so honest the high prices of the studs completely turned me off of using them, as someone who doesn’t have a lot of time to play the game, when the events are this grindy it really isn’t worth putting the time into for me personally. I kinda decided to lay off this event because I can’t really afford anything that I would benefit from working towards and I definitely can’t afford the studs I get you’re supposed to put time into this game but it’s hard to do that when it takes so damn long to get the smallest amounts of resources for the event.

I recognized a lot of my issues boil down to being a student and working full time to support myself now, I had a lot more time to play in previous years but the more I transition into being fully independent the harder I find it is to have time to put into getting event currency at such high numbers.

I don't support just because I think there is good reason the price is what it is. While it would be really nice to have the price lowered, it could have a negative effect.

With SO MANY players after new bases, the high price is 100% justified imo, to keep new traits challenging to access and therefor valuable.

To be honest I considered the 'there's a reason it's expensive' including game balance and forced decision making but I don't like having to grind 2-3 days for 1 studding, so while it increases the "You must make a choice" lean of the game I would really prefer to be able to afford multiple studdings to my favorite stud as desired or not miss a day if limited playing time.

It's good to have a bit of that "Oooo I have to grind, I really want this!" even for seasoned players who have enough time, but it seems a little too much when you look at game gain rates?
I spent down to 24 CB so i'll keep an eye on the rate earned for a daily player next week.

Maybe 400 CB, double the 200 DB fee? Equal to a Background from one of the Destroyers/Preservers shops?
I would never use Dry Bones for a studding unless I missclick (and I actually have, come to think of it ) because I need Buffy's but perhaps the 600 CB fee is there to encourage players to use Dry Bones instead?
Limiting the The Peddler purchases & increasing rarity of new release CB items?

Even so...
One studding costing more than any single item in the shop feels like too much, even if it's meant to lend some weight/rarity to the cubs/breeding and provide players a reason to trade with each other for extra CB (yay commerce~) I was breeding my 7-8 BO marked gals to an absolute stunner and still got absolute potatoes from my 4x studded favorite man-eater this year. In theory this might make those who got good cubs in a better place for profit. I'm personally not motivated enough to hunt down some pretty cubs for sale as it was just a fun little side thing since my project is also moving wayyyy slow so getting poor results from everything did not increase my engagement or purchase in the game. Yes hello randomizer but eh c'mon D:
Even if I got a mini clone or the base pass, it's just a liiiitle on the... discouraging side, for anyone who doesn't have a similar amount of time/energy/resources to grind.

Supported! <3

All the cubs I have gotten so far have 1-3 markings lol.

Their was only 1 good litter with 8BO or more marks.

600 beetles for cubs with no markings is a crazy scammmm. If it was lower, Id be more okay with losing the beetles. [cuz who is using bones when I need NUTSSS]

I'm a (mostly) daily player, but just like some others, the price of the studs turned me off using them! I really like todays stud, for example, but I won't breed to him for two reasons, one being the chance of getting any valuable cubs is low (even if I got a valuable cub, is it worth the weight of a buffy?) and two being I much prefer to buy the decors. Decors may be cheap and they don't add anything of value, but I'm guaranteed to get the decor I want versus just a small CHANCE at getting ANY BO from the stud. If I could use items on the stud I would say it's worth 600CB, but as it stands I would say it's not worth at all. I'd have better luck checking TC or just breeding to a player stud with similar BO traits where I can use items.
