After seeing what random avies they improve the chances on, I can now freely skip that perk. The random avies I'm missing aren't part of it. Not only that but "30%" higher chance on an avie that's like a 1% chance of getting anyway is not much of a perk. Woohoo, 1.3%! If it were 300% though... well, 3% chance of getting that avie is more worth putting points into. |

There's 3 I'm missing and 2 of them I could get within 20%. |

Okay, this may just be me but...
WHY 10...60! NC for the biggest pack? Why not 1050 or 1100? Why 1060? It's just an awful number!

Speaking of, anyone else unable to get the NC portion to work? I put the stuff in the boxes and clicked the lever, but it's not working.

I find it a little odd how they're framing the . . . decluttering. We're specifically not donating to charity, simply getting rid of things we don't need. Yes, they're being sorted, but there's no information on what happens after that.

But actually, it's odd that it just poofs. |

I can't help but feel a little unsettled that we can put petpets and bottled faeries into a recycling machine, for that matter...

Agreed -- at least with Charity Corner we could pretend that, since it was all going toward the recovery effort, they'd find it more efficient to open the bottles so the faeries could help with rebuilding things, or that the petpets went to those who needed a loving companion in a trying time. |

These are all secretly going to her shop so she can sell these items at a huge markup for the next Charity Corner.

Emptied everything I didn't want from my sdb and ended up around 12500 points. I think I'm happy with that--might or might not grab some more items to dump, we'll see.

New system is out, and it's a lot more efficient than the previous version.

I agree, this new system is much more efficient and easier. I don't have to worry about clicking the same popup every. single. time.

This sounded like a battle between creative design vs practicality. I imagine this is how the pitch meeting went.
Director: we need to update the CC donation system. Suggestions?
Content person: ooo! We should totally parody the whole Kon-Mari system! Have everyone consider each item individually and think about whether or not they want it! It'll be amazing and funny!
Director: sounds brilliant! I like it! Any other suggestions?
Some other person who probably works either neoboards or tickets: I mean, this is the Neopets userbase we're talking about, and people have thousands of items to donate... How about we save programming resources and reduce first day lag and just rehash quick stock so they can donate mass amounts?
Director: boo, that sounds boring and uncreative. Neo userbase likes funny references. Kon-Mari and multiple page loading sparks my joy, and it shall spark everyone else's, too!
-day of release-
Director: okay I was wrong
(Not saying content people or directors are bad or anything, just... They should know us better LOL)

You have earned yourself 10014 points

That should hopefully be enough for the gold trophy! It was so much easier today.

The new release method doesn't work for me, every time I try to donate, it just takes me to a blank white page.
