Modestly Increasing Pet Elite Perks#795

Prefacing this with I know that, as is, elite gives more benefits on net than exchanging a key for 10 tix.

That being said, as a current elite subscriber, there are times when elite doesn’t feel worth the $8–$9 USD/month being paid for it/it feels like even though I’m paying irl money for the perks, said perks aren’t measuring up compared to existing free features.

Daily food gifts, for example, much appreciated, but the min is 7 foods, which is the same as a good explore. And daily food gift can only be run once a day vs explore can be run up to 4-5 times a day depending on how on it you are about running ACs. It seems off to me that you’re paying for a perk that gives the same (argubly less if you run explore multiple times a day) benefit as a free AC.

Similarly, I’ve been tracking my weekend elite gifts and gift boxes since I started mimu. There have been several occasions when I’ve gotten fewer stars for my elite gift than I would have recieved from a star gift (lowest I’ve gotten was 2.32 stars). Again, it seems odd to pay for a perk that gives less than a “free” counterpart. This is particularly true when you also compare to voting gift boxes. The fewest stars I’ve gotten from one of those was 3.39 for a lvl one. Level 3 gift boxes all seem to give 4 stars or above, so it seems wierd that pet elite–something your paying for–gives fewer stars than voting would get you for free. This also applies to tix gifts, since they range from 2-4, while lvl 3 boxes always give 3-4 tixs.

All that to say, I think some modest increases to the elite pet perks would make it feel more worth the while/money for people paying for it. Specifically, a modest bump in the food gift minimum (from 7 to say 9) and a bump in the weekend stars minimum (preferably to 4 stars on par with boxes, but even just 3 to be better than an sgs would be nice) and tix minimum (from 2 to 3).

TLDR:
I enjoy elite, but I think it’s perks could be improved so people paying for it feel like they’re really getting their money’s worth.
Specfically, small bumps to the daily gift minimums to make them better than “free” counterparts (explore, sgs, and voting gift boxes). So food dailies give at least 9 foods, stars dailies give at least 3 stars, tix dailies give at least 3 tix.

Not hating mimu pet elite too (I myself enjoy it too),
but the namechanging pass becomes useless after you have used it ONCE and are using MULTIPLE keys on the long run
and that’s basically wasting a mimuperk if you use another key as you might not use it again, most don’t use the namechanging pass for every key (2weeks)

adding on, i think one thing that could be improved is increasing the amount of food given on /votes buy food for users: right now it’s 32 per ticket, but considering that pds can take 20+ food, cozies can take 40+ food, and even feeding can take 10+ food, the extra 2 food isn’t really significant in comparison. even increasing it to 35 would be nice, since pet owners that might not be in the support server can have a hard time taking care of their pet without loooots of discord activity and trading with others (which was my experience before i joined bc my tickets and food were always so low T-T). it would make the experience much better, especially when elite pet users are giving their money to support mimu !!

if this would be possible at all, maybe pet elite could give a small increase in lifetime given when hosting any pet activities plus the ones in stars shop? from my experience, soooo much of my lifetime comes from buying activities from others, but not everyone will have so much time to spend for their pet. letting pet elite users accumulate lifetime slightly faster would be so helpful, especially since it drains pretty quickly if you don’t constantly take care of it.

for the elite daily, if the amount of stars/tix won’t increase, might i suggest having them available during the whole week in the same amount? considering with the fact that regular users could be getting a similar bonus, if not more, just from non-monetary support for the bot.

also, i want to point out that while a key gives a month of premium in a server, it only gives 2 weeks of pet elite. premium servers get a lot of extra slots for stuff or exclusive features, but a majority of server-related features are still available to free users; likewise, it would be great for pet elite users to have similarly exclusive or greater rewards, given that it doesn’t even last as long as server premium ~ but stil free users can take care of their pets feasibly :3

actually now that i’m thinking about this more i remembered that pet elite also gives 6 tix upon claiming which would explain the lower rng for perks, but imo it would be fair to improve/add the stuff that’s already been suggested here and then decreasing the initial tix given !!

Respectfully disagree on the last part. :) I think the garunteed 6 tix on claiming is an important elite perk that should be kept, especially since, with weekend gifts, there’s a chance you might just get four days of stars and zero tix (speaking as someone who’s gotten stars for five straight weekends now ;-;).

that’s true, i’ve also been getting stars for many weeks loll. i just added that bc i was thinking how keys can also be claimed for 10 tix, so getting 6 tix plus the existing pet elite perks are pretty good already. tho i get your pov too, there’s also an assumption that the tickets would go towards petcare which is also quite reliant on tickets haha

Yep, exactly. Since tix are the only way to get food (vs stars you can get by wishes, blessing, star gifts, etc.) I think it makes more sense for elite perks to favor giving tix and lifetime. Like you noted above, pds and cozies use a lot of food (then add in feed and breaktime if you run it), so even 6 tix worth of food goes fast.

i apologize if someone has already mentioned this, this is from my perspective with pet elite <3

i do feel as if pet elite is equivalent to vote boxes. today, i got a vote box for 4 tickets and 5.67 stars. i also got 4 tickets through elite daily. which, yes, getting extra tickets is wonderful to store towards your pet for food. but like sailor mentioned, a lot of the activities, playdates and cozies take a LOT of food D: depending on how much you run activites, feed, play, do playdates, it does take a lot of food (probably more than 50 but i haven’t done much research so i apologize if this number is inaccurate)

you only get 32 food and like sailor mentioned, it can be used up really fast making you use more tickets to get food for your pet. i do feel as if this isn’t much as an upgrade from 30 food without pet elite.

i use elite dailies when i can on the weekdays (when i can so i’m going off my memory for how much food i get) / weekends. when using /elite daily on the weekday, on average i get around 7-11 food which go by pretty quickly. i was looking through the daily gifts for tickets and saw people have gotten 2-4 tickets just from elite daily. maybe 5/6, but most i saw was 2-4.

pet elite only lasts 2 weeks and you can only claim upto 6 months. if i’m correct, you’d need 13 keys in order to claim 6 months (if my math is wrong, i deeply apologize but it should be somewhere around this number) one of my friends who’d like to stay anonymous, (including myself) believes that pet elite should at least last a month just like server premium.

please don’t get me wrong, pet elite is amazing in its own way but i feel as if some stuff could be changed / altered <3

thank you for reading ^-^
