@heirdragonair Oh you misunderstand me; I wasn't asking for an elaboration on why you think this change is necessary. I was simply wondering why you found my opinion/feelings silly. But I digress.
Also I did in fact handwrite both messages, and not copy paste, not a big fan of that. I'd feel lazy and fear it might come of as dismissive if I did so.
Now onto the actual suggestion; I am afraid have to reiterate that I do not agree with this suggestion or the arguments you gave. The point of bracchus is true; it goes against the very argument I made. However, I never voted for bracchus to become a thing, so the fact that it exists does not invalidate my argument for the undesirability of such exclusives (it would have otherwise been quite contradictory). Additionally, the fact that it exists also should not mean that the devs then might as well add a lot more of such features.
While I agree that there is an issue in general with the value of wolves, or rather their overabundance, I truly do not believe that making WW exclusive markings is going to solve that. The market is simply oversaturated. Wolves are too easy to get by (yes, this includes wild wolves), breeding cooldowns are incredibly short, den space is limited, both with a hard limit, and a soft limit behind premium currency. That is an issue. There are very few genes and breeds at the moment. That is an issue. We need more genes and breeds in general. We need them in the MM for pebbles, to function as a pebble sink. Perhaps to spice things up we can make some crafting or findable through hunting.
As I have also said in a suggestion for adding markings that are exclusive to wolves that have been bred (like a mutation), I don't mind it if mutations are added, as long as there is a scroll counterpart to add it to wolves that already exist or were not lucky enough to be born/found with it. Yes, this is a breeding sim, but it is also a customisation sim. Making genes unapplicable, takes away of the customistion.
