Hello, everyone! ☆ (Journal updated to be more clear and concise. ^^)

Once the Halloween Advent is over, I'd like to make a focused effort on updating and improving Wishfuls as a whole, as well as the group! To that end, I'd love to hear our members' opinions on everything - the good and the bad. I expect responses to be respectful (i.e., no name-calling), but your dislikes and "unpopular" opinions are very welcomed!

I really want to emphasize your safety and privacy. Please know that you will not be judged or suffer any sort of ill consequence for expressing your private opinion; if you note The-Wish-List with your responses, I am the only person with access to that account. I may discuss the overall results with the other admins, but I will not release any usernames or otherwise give hints as to who said what. I will do my best to make all responses completely anonymous.

Some things I'd like to hear from you are:
What do you like most about the species group?
What do you dislike about the species or group?
What are some changes you'd like to see in the group?

There are a few changes I'm thinking of making soon, and I'd like to hear your opinions on these as well. What I'm considering is:
Upgrading the group to Super. We've raised the funds; I'm just waiting until I have all the graphics I'd like to use.
Updating "Trait Treats". The graphics are outdated and I think the journal could use some love as well.
Updating "Breeding". I'm currently working on a batch of very special Wishpup adopts made from breeding my own Wishfuls. This will both help me work out the kinks of the system and show you how cool breeding can be!
Updating "Maturation". It's currently closed because it was previously a gamble, which is against DA's rules. I'm considering changing to a system where you pay for a 'tier' of maturation (i.e. Common, Uncommon, Rare, or Super Rare), which affects all things to do with Wishes.
Redoing the species sheet again. I feel like it's currently boring, lackluster, and spread across far too many sheets.
Updating "Mutations". I'd like to make them available through adopts or Trait Treats only (i.e. you can't buy them through customs or MYOs with points; you HAVE to buy with Wish Coins). This is because they are supposed to be quite special and sort of a prize, so someone getting their first Wishful MYO shouldn't be able to get one yet. It's sort of a reward for dedication to the species. MOST IMPORTANTLY, I'm considering adding "material" as a Mutation. We've already done some Aquatic mutations; I'm considering if this lets a Mermaid tail (currently a Rare trait for being just the tail) *replace* the legs as well as including fin ears and fins on body. I'm also considering adding a Plushie mutation that includes stitches on the body and button eyes, or ripped seams with some stuffing falling out. I'm VERY interested for feedback on this, because I think it would be a big thing to implement and I don't want to do it if it's unwelcome.

I would like to add that, in regards to prices, they are not going to be lowered. We've worked hard to develop a pricing system where adopts are comparatively inexpensive without being nearly free labor on the part of the artists, and we've created the Wish Coin system so that even if you're legitimately broke, you can draw your way to a MYO, custom, or select adopt. I've always wanted Wishfuls to be accessible, but I also don't think it's fair to the artist to make $2 off of three hours of work. I like to think we've found a good balance on adopt prices so far. <3

Please remember: for your opinion to be anonymous, you must send a NOTE to The-Wish-List. Admins are encouraged to share their opinions as well!

Thank you all so much for your support with this species! So many of you are so fabulous, and it's been my goal this whole time to make a species and group that's enjoyable for every member. <3

This all sounds pretty great! Exciting to see these develop overtime.
I know this is a bit out of the blue, but if you ever want another guest artist on board to draw some adopts i'd happily give you a hand <3
