Description As we all know, scamming is one of the major problems AJHQ has failed to solve for a while.
Animal Jam is meant to be a fun place where kids can just hang out and meet new friends, but scamming is tearing friendships apart and causing cold, greedy children to start popping up around Jamaa.
There are so many scammers we just can't regulate them all and return the millions of illegally obtained rares fairly like we could in the beta days when there weren't rares to worry about. 
We've watched Animal Jam go downhill for too long, and it's getting kinda depressing to see all the heartless scamming going on. 
Many nice jammers have left due to low tolerance of scammers, especially those who value friendship less than they do pixelated "rare items."
I do own some rares, but I realized I have no desire to get super rares like tiki masks because they aren't as fun to wear. I base my wardrobe on clothing that is especially nice looking on my animals. XD That is what clothing items should be: a way to decorate your animal, and not to show off how wealthy you are. For example, I favor my purple sandy cane socks over a rare long purple wrist spike someone traded me. When I have my eyes set on a rare item, it's because it is 112% snazzy. o3o 
I've had to dress my animals with only store items in the past, and people still commented on how nice they thought I looked. *blushes* o//w//o <(me?)


(START READING HERE FOR ACTUAL PLAN AND NOT ME JUST BLABBERING ABOUT EXAMPLES!! XD)
If we got AJHQ to return all rare items, glitched items and beta items ever made to stores, there would be no reason to scam, and if someone was scammed, they could always independently get themselves a new one without relying on anything but the patience required to save money to buy it again. owo 
No room in the current shops for more clothes? Just make a new shop! This one can be somewhere else in the world *COUGH COUGH add a new map area dedicated to stores to hold these returning items!* 
With the rare, beta, and glitched items costing gems again, people will have more incentive to play the mini games scattered across Jamaa. Seriously. Those things are lonelyyy
Another type of item people scam is seasonal items, and I haven't though of a way to prevent that while keeping the celebratory privileged feels up during those holidays, but with all the other rares out of the way, AJHQ will have a much easier time regulating any other scammed items not covered by the 'bringing rares back into the shops' plan. 


LET ME KNOW YOUR OPINION OF THE PLAN IN THE COMMENTS, I WANT THIS TO BE PERFECTED BEFORE I DO / IF I SUBMIT MY IDEAS TO AJHQ (not that they'll listen -.-' )

THIS IDEA WOULD LITERALLY MAKE 75% OF THE GAME QUIT.
People want rares because they are RARE.
Putting them back in stores would make all the hard work put into them useless.
AJHQ would lose money, LOADS of players would quit, and AJ would die.

horsegirl1231 [2015-02-08 18:35:22 +0000 UTC]

I find this true.
One small flaw.
The time people spend getting the items, just for the items to be released in-stores?
Think about gazelles.
Those were a big deal. EVERYONE who had put their BLOOD AND SWEAT (well okay, but their time) INTO TRADING FOR HOURS ON END JUST to get a pair of gazelles! And then they were released in shops. People get scammed like that too.
You know, like someone really rare doesn't know gazelles are in stores, they accept 4 gazelles for a long collar or something? And then they find out they're in stores...
I dunno, I just find it sorta sad seeming. That's all.

Those items will still be considered "rare" even if the you're not labeled so, like maroon furry hats and glitched rings :c

Phyrofrost [2014-12-29 09:36:42 +0000 UTC]

Yes!
And same. I like what looks good on my animal not what is just rare. I have a few rares but I hardly ever use them. I probably have a very rare item that looks kinda cool but I don't realy use it that much. Also, aren't nr headdresses rarer than a rare one. What is it about headdresses that people like?

Same. They just don't seem that nice to me. Maybe if they changed the colours/design a little I might want one but you have to go through to much trouble just to get it then realise you don't want it.
