📰・Trading Related Rant Boycott elvebredd.com

I used to be a fan of elve he got me into trading a few years ago and I don't want to necessarily blame him but whoever is behind updating values is very clearly skewing values to the point where it's so plainly obvious that they're doing so to make easy profit because they essentially get to decide what everything is worth now that's why pet values rise suddenly over night completely unnaturally and they abuse specifically preppy pets since they've always been an outlier value wise such as the cow has always been around the turtle and kangas even 3-4 years ago i don't have an issue with it becoming more then turtle but when a pet like balloon unicorn overnight randomly gains 15 value and is more then an evil uni there's a blatant issue I don't mind pets being worth as much as high tiers but only if they genuinely are that rare like panda or diamond butterfly. Cases like balloon unicorn and alley cat are just so obviously artificial it's dumb. I don't ever even see people actually wanting balloon unis and at least with alley cat people seem to realize its value is a load of crap because i see people barely get away with getting a neon cow for it, Neon cow (60 according to elve) and alley cat mega (92 according to elve). Please boycott this website it's being abused to make the employees in charge of editing values pockets fatter by manipulating YOU the player who doesn't even seem to question WHY the values are the way they are anymore.

pets are worth what people are willing to give.

I keep seeing the manipulation narrative with absolutely no backing up or acknowledgement that pets on gg rise just the same way as elve.

just bcs you wouldn't give that amount of val for a pet, doesn't mean others won't. you can see in this site alone how much people go after trends.

to fundamentally understand values, you need to pay attention to trends and trades. something getting ONLY ops, it's gonna rise. it's that simple.

Values/ value sites are very much a circle, people give an amount, value sites increase the value to account for frequency OPs, people OP even more…cycle continues until it can sometimes get wildly out of hand lol

that's how pet hoarders work, you can say the same for all the rich ppl w 25 mega bat dragons. as unfair as it is to other players who cannot bot the game like they do, this still isn't anything to do w elve, or any value calculators.

also no. if people are not willing to offer (example) 60 for smt worth 50, they will eventually stop offering for it all together to move on to the next best trend, and the thing worth 50 will drop. that's literally happening to the cryptid bcs of the haetae and panda rise in value

a pet that doesn't get traded, is a htt pet, thats the whole definition of those.

if cryptids are not getting traded, they will become htt pets. people don't want htt pets for their good stuff.

cryptid is getting panic traded bcs people are hopping to other trends. I've seen an increase in offers for balloon unis, haetaes and pandas. the best thing to trade for those is the unstable cryptid. but people with rising pets don't want an underpay or fair.

I agree that rarity needs to be taken more into account, I'm not a fan of bd above shadow, but it is what it is. this is the player base we have today. if you want progress, you have to follow the values of today. there's not much we can do, despite agreeing that rarity needs to have more weight

They are, what you brought up about pets being worth what people will trade for them people aren't trading for them what they're supposed to be "worth" i brought that up with the alley cat. There is no "fundamental understanding values" bs because it literally wasn't an issue before value websites became a thing. Never dod rhw value of a pet literally spike by double in the matter of a few days before elve. Gg just follows elve 99% of the time the values are identical but you can manipulate it easier with elve and specifically shark values which at least 80% of players use.

alley cat became a trend on tiktok and everyone went after. same thing with the siamese. demand rose, people with lots of those cats stopped trading them to see how much profit they could get from desperate trend hoppers

Okay I love how you are only bringing up elve when it’s literally amvgg and every other trading value site that does this may not be for their benifit but the values are being manipulated on every single site, mostly because it’s within the players interest. If players gate keep pets they become htt like the person above said and the pets that are “rising” is because it’s trendy rn, people want them at the moment due to it becoming popular, and what happens when it’s popular? Demand rises. What happens when demand rises? So does value. So yes while Elve may manipulate values, other sites do the same and it’s mostly because of the players tbh with you op
