I've looked throughout the forums to see if anybody has suggested this before, and I have not found anything, so I apologise if it turns out that this is not a new suggestion.

I offer refunded breedings on a permanent basis, which means that I have to manually refund each player that studs to me. Whilst this isn't necessarily a huge deal, there is unfortunately room for error, and anybody who chooses to stud to me has to trust that the offer is genuine, which isn't ideal. I know that there are other players who also offer refunded breedings, either as a temporary offer or permanently.

What would be ideal is the option to set your studding cost as free to more safely and conveniently offer refunded (or free, in this case) breedings. I do understand that there is currently a minimum fee requirement in place, but as refunded breeding is a commonplace practice, I think that it would be safest if an exception was made to this rule.

Thank you in advance for any feedback that I receive.

Hm, I feel like this could be tweaked a little, I totally understand and have thought about this before too, it's very inconvenient for the people that need to refund others.

Instead of a free breeding option for the stud requesters, I think a refund button with the accept and reject button for the studder is a better option. Since I have seen players have different ways of offering free studs, one slot per player, only for a limited time, permanently, etc. So I feel that giving the studders the option to choose whether or not they'll refund would be a better choice imo, and easier to implement compared to putting a stud for free and having to micro manage how and when you're offering it.

I’m in a car so pardon if this isn’t very well put together but I agree with Nyra that the placement in the breeding screen would be good.

It could even be that you select how much you are refunding for those of us that offer partial refunds either for friends, fellow clan members, or because we feel like offering some currency back. That, I feel, can probably still fall under our gifting currency back manually and probably doesn’t need to be offered.

I imagine we still would have to avoid saying “free” though, since people would still have to pay to send the breeding request, even though the stud owner will refund.

Thank you both for the input. It is true that it being optional per individual request may be better. I do love the idea of selective refunds for friends, clan members, etc. as well.

Do excuse my lack of eloquence; my brain is lagging behind tonight.
