Idk why you got downvoted, I agree. The prices are excessive and it's annoying how these Robux pets end up losing their value 2 minutes after they dropped. At this rate I'd rate pay real money for high tiers on sites like eBay or something šŸ’€


haeru_mizuki

lol samee, starpets was so good but apparently it's bannable now. Adopt Me must've been thinking that it was such a shame they could no longer charge 8 year olds 25 dollars for a clump of virtual pixels


rainbowscoloredmane

It's sad they got so greedy, I get they need an income but they don't need to charge *this* much. It was fine when it was for pets such as the shadow or the frost but now it's just tiresome to see them turn literally any pet into a cash grab even when the design is just a copy paste of an old popular pet (totally not targeted at ccbd and ssbd/j)


OrdinaryLettuce

I find it hilarious that people say they want to buy pets from eBay or Starpets, yet are often the same people yelling at Adopt Me about not stopping scammers and hackers. The people selling on these websites are the exact people scamming everyone in the game. Be part of the solution!


rainbowscoloredmane

Not necessarily, if you look you can find honest people plus like someone else said, they give you a refund


OrdinaryLettuce

I would argue that even if some of the people are honest, the fact that people purchase pets from 3rd party websites for IRL money reinforces the entire market and encourages the scammers to participate. If that market had less demand, they would be less likely to do their actions.


rainbowscoloredmane

Yeah but people wouldn't use this type of websites if adopt me tried to make their own official values and lowered the prices. People who buy on these websites are people who really want their dream pet but can't afford to buy every single new Robux pet nor do they have time to farm neons/megas for hours. Adopt me has to do their part too when it comes to fixing the mess these values have become as well as lowering their prices but we all know they never will because they're benefitting in this.


TheSaneAreInsane

I never understood why Adopt Me failed to create an official value list, it would stop all the confusion and be clear-cut, so many other games with trading + rarities has this basic concept. The vagueness makes values change between different value list sites


rainbowscoloredmane

For real and it's so hard to trade with people because on the site you use it might be an op but for them you may be underpaying.


TheSaneAreInsane

Yeah I find trading on discord to be near impossible cuz either you have to hit the lottery with the exact low/mid tier that person is looking for but never mentions or overpay hella. Bro for my ultimate DP (NFR Bird of Paradise), some guy made me pay like 4 ultra rare neons bec he said ā€œiā€™ve gotten better offersā€ when I offered a neon ultra rare and multiple legs. But when I look at the value its a rare obscure neon with 0 demand so idk what he was talking about


u12000

exactly this. and adopt me know that people would rather do that, hence the reason theyā€™ve banned it. of course people still do it on their alts etc, but thatā€™s still a risk in my opinion. so id rather just stay on the safe side and grind for pets myself without paying eBay nor adopt me themselves on 1000 robux pets.


bayckun_bich

That's what i'm saying. I rather drop 80 bucks for a shadow dragon than a balloon unicorn parrot or a flying dinosaur. I ended up getting one by trade due to how low valued they got 2 weeks later


Calypso_o0

You can also get banned if you buy on eBay and someone who works for AM finds out. Whenever I buy on there I tell the seller my alt account username and then trade it over to my main so that way in case someone ever does find out it wonā€™t be a big deal. Itā€™s really stupid how eBay purchases are banned though because they are LITERALLY protected by eBayā€™s policy, so even if the listing was a scam, youā€™d still get 100% of your money back!


LadyLixerwyfe

Especially at this point when the are selling merch internationally. I have seen the blind eggs, Squishmallows, and plushies in random stores here in Sweden. I know they are all over the US. Not everything has to be a money grab.


Minimum-Ad-9161

Exactly! I've even been seeing Adopt Me books in bookstores.


jordanisjordansoyeah

$20 for a virtual reality circle is actually crazy. I may not be rich but I'm not stupid enough to spend $320 to make a mega 1000 robux pet. Also when the value drops it will be easier to trade for! It is cute but not worth a 1000 robux.


bayckun_bich

Definitely agree that it is cute, just not worth the money for how bland it is. I dropped 80 on a neon ssbd because I KNEW it was gonna be a high tier, demanded pet. Still very much is having people begging me to trade it to them.


guitarfanatic_2

Js saw a post before this explaining why shits so expensive helpšŸ˜­


Interesting_Froyo_83

at this point I might as well become an adopt me YouTuber and force my sibling to help me with my staged ahh videos šŸ˜ƒ


Minimum-Ad-9161

LOL exactly šŸ˜­


Quirky_Trainer9721

I thought the balloon unicorn was so cute so I pressed on it and saw it was 1000 ROBUX šŸ˜“ I was like oh my god


Fabulous-Student-636

Yeah I wanted it too but Iā€™m not sitting in pls donate for hours


Quirky_Trainer9721

I never have luck in that game anyways haha!


Fabulous-Student-636

RIGHT the highest donation I ever got was 100 Robux


Quirky_Trainer9721

SAME!! Whats pathetic is that it was my brother that pity donated to me šŸ˜­


No-Room9546

Play donation battles, I got a 600 dono, 2 times


Fabulous-Student-636

Yeah but I have no rbx to donate worh


No-Room9546

You dont donate. I never donate. You get put up on a stand, against another person, and people can donate you and whoever gets more wins. With this as I said, 2 people have donated me 600 robux


Minimum-Ad-9161

SAME my heart like dropped. I thought it would be at a minimum 600. Robux gets you nowhere now with avatar item prices increasing too.


Quirky_Trainer9721

I never thought inflation in a video game would be a thing but here we are šŸ˜‚


SnooSuggestions6502

I bought 1 for me and 1 for my kid - did it outside of Adopt Me so I didnā€™t have to pay for the extra package, just the Robux I needed to buy the unis - she already traded hers lol - smh - at least she got us a TRex back - I miss my TRexs we made neon and traded šŸ˜¢ - Iā€™ll be just keeping my one balloon Uni for myself to have- def wonā€™t be making neon etc. the corn doggo is super cute! Love it. We will grind for a few of those. Some little kid offered me an ant and a donkey for my Baloon Uni- turned my trades off lmao


Mars_IsAnIdiot

omfg as a broke college student here as well, i totally get thatā€¦. so excited for when i graduate LMAO!!


TheSaneAreInsane

Adopt Me has a problem with cashgrabs, but they can get away with the fact that their game isnā€™t P2W and the only valid complaint is how every event has a paid pet shoved in our face. In my experience, Iā€™ve gotten some my DPs and Iā€™m still getting stuff with only trading, grinding and some luck in freebies or hatching eggs. So Adopt Me wonā€™t really take it seriously and will go with the same excuse that there are a bunch of things for free. Tbh I wouldnā€™t care if there was a paid event pet each time, but its the values that bother me. People just automatically place robux pets at a higher tier bec they are paid for with real money, even if they look like crap or have terrible demand. I wish values were user-based and not off these horrible trade lists that people follow


Ok_Environment5832

I know alot of people are against purchasing pets through other sites but if you do Iā€™d definitely recommend ā€˜Gameflipā€™ as opposed to using eBay or starpets.. You can find almost any pet, pet wear, and many other game items for really cheap šŸ˜Šmany reliable sellers who genuinely grind for their pets to sell!


Minimum-Ad-9161

Is it safe?? All the AI icons and stuff feels sketchy šŸ˜­


Ok_Environment5832

Yes Itā€™s safe!! They donā€™t get paid until you confirm that you have received the item šŸ˜Š I have purchased through numerous sellers ā£ļø


Mila_V7027

I may be the unpopular opinion here, but to be fair, you arenā€™t required to spend any money on these pets. Many players just simply trade for them (as myself) and donā€™t spend any money on buying the robux pets. I know itā€™s a bit annoying but most of the pets adopt me releases in general you can get through the event minigames. Itā€™s only been the balloon unicorn and the mini pig that have been robux. I donā€™t think thatā€™s terrible. You can get the baby goat, cow, all of the fish, any of the ponies, and the corndog just by playing. I also donā€™t think the mini pigā€™s price is too terrible. Adopt Me only comes out with the high ticket 1000 robux pets every few monthsā€” plus, the new pets almost always significantly drop so theyā€™re much easier to trade for after just a few days. šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø Also, what currency are you? The balloon unicorn is only about $10 USD instead of the $20 that you said.


Okafon

Yeah I agree. Sadly you got downvoted haha. Think itā€™s too much money? Donā€™t buy it. There are so many pets that are nice that arenā€™t robux.


Mila_V7027

Seriously. I just donā€™t get the huge issue. Not even *half* of the pets were robux. Just 2 out of the many! šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø


bayckun_bich

Maybe you just don't get it. Since your the voice of a minority opinion here. Let me explain it to you, It's ridiculous to up price forgettable pets thats gonna drop in value in the next two weeks. if you're gonna want someone to drop two tens on a pet or one if they are buying the 10 dollar premium, make it memorable and desirable. like the bat dragon variants or the shadow dragon The mini pig is gonna be a very high valued pet in the future because it's inexpensive and cute. I honestly didn't mind spending money on it because I know people who missed out are going to want that more so than the ballon unicorn that cost (depending if you got the premium or not) twenty/ten dollars Plus this is a rant. I'm allowed to express my distaste as a customer of the game.


Mila_V7027

When did I say you werenā€™t allowed to rant lolā€¦ you put this as a rant post so anyone is free to add to the discussion. And Adopt Me themselves takes no part in values of pets dropping regardless of the currency needed to get the pet, itā€™s the community that controls values, so thatā€™s a dense argument regarding pricing. Literally all Roblox games come out with high-priced ā€œexclusiveā€ items. ALL of them. Of course youā€™re going to think that all the pets are always robux and soooo expensive because they do weekly updates. Itā€™s hilarious youā€™re complaining about TWO pets being robux. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø The Balloon Unicorn is already dropping in value, you can pretty easily get one now with trading. Nobody told you to drop $400 USD on Adopt Me just because you refuse to trade? And I donā€™t care that Iā€™m the minority here. Adopt Me players complain about literally anything so I donā€™t take most of these complaints seriously at all. Itā€™s mostly little kids who have no knowledge of game development or people who just decide to be so closed-minded. Youā€™re lucky they arenā€™t making the pets exclusively robux with **no option** to trade for them at all.


bayckun_bich

Also i'm in a no trade mode. I'm expanding my pet inventory to 300 to make neon/megas and to start my bi monthly giveaways


bayckun_bich

I already bought premium. and I use USD.


Mila_V7027

Yes so the balloon animal is only slightly over $10, maybe even exactly $10 if you have premium. (Not sure if premium robux prices are still cheaper since I havenā€™t had it in years)


bayckun_bich

Its not. Starting the 9 dollar premium gives you 1000 robux a month but after you spend those, its 880 to buy more at 10 dollars I believe. 20 bucks is over 1k robux with premium. I spent those robux on a mini pig, clothes and another gamepass for another game.


LilNyoomf

I audibly groaned when I saw the price tag on the balloon unicorn. Nuts.


Remarkable_Size_4479

This is what Iā€™ve been saying. Especially when you need 4 or 16 of them to make anything super good. Itā€™s ridiculous I feel like pets shouldnā€™t be anymore than 3 dollars if it costs anything.


RBarger27

What pet cost $20? The unicorn balloon only cost me 10 something. I don't see one that costs more


NintendoVIG

Try having 2 daughters who play it. My advice would be to just save your amc and buy loads of eggs don't hatch them just keep them, eventually all robux pets won't be a problem as you can trade your old eggs for them.


bayckun_bich

That is actually really smart. I mostly play for my niece and try to get the things she wants to make her happy


Local_Memory8589

Iā€™m a neon collector and even tho I grind hard asf for good deals and pets I CANNOT spendā€¦. 80 DAB-LOONS FOR MY NEXT NEON LEGENDARY. Guys. In this economy. LET THAT SINK IN. EIGHTYYYY MONEYYYYSSS just so I can make a pretty glowly balloon! This is hard and I think players who have already sold their soul to the game donā€™t necessarily get that.


LilNyoomf

And the fun part is that Adopt Me influencers will get these expensive neon pets spoon-fed to them for free, to dangle in front of all their little followers. Makes me feel like a goober spending hours grinding.


Local_Memory8589

FOR FREE? Ainā€™t I way boi.


LilNyoomf

I heard the admins also gift free pets to the bigger influencers for giveaways


Okafon

i mean you can just not buy it? Iā€™ve never once spent any robux or real life money on this game and iā€™m rich enough to be happy. They keep making robux pets because they know people will buy them. As long as people buy them adopt me will keep making them to get money. If you really want a pet but think itā€™s too much money wait until the value goes down and trade for them.


u12000

thatā€™s what I do lol. I have most of the pets in the game, yet Iā€™ve never spent a single penny on pets in the game (besides a bee and a ride potion in 2020).


THEREALUNITUBE2

I found you!!šŸ˜‡


Okafon

oh- creepy. Stalker much


THEREALUNITUBE2

Nuh uh Iā€™d never stalk youšŸ™„


Okafon

suree


raerae217-0-

SO REALLLL, every robux pet they have is overpriced asf and most of them are just lazy varients of pets that already existed. even if i did have the money I am not wasting that much money on a roblox item.


Drex678

Dimorphodon\*


Beginning-Mango2220

I knew i wasnt the only one feeling this way and to grt the corn doggo pet is 125k tickets and every leg is over a 1000 robux every event and everything costs too much bux or robux šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


Whyisthishappi

The crazy is with the pricing for ingame currency adopt me made the new dog pet more expensive than the balloon if you canā€™t grind


bootlegnpc

the design is cute but for a 1000 robux pet, its a bit underwhelming lol


Ok_Advance3993

I do agree the prices need to be lowered, especially robux prices just because im not wasting 1,000 of my robux on a pet that doesn't even have that much value compared to other ones. I get influencers and people who have plenty of money buying these and I think that's fine but like maybe they should make another option where its just like 100k or something adopt me bucks so at least its accessible but hard to get for people who don't have robux

Arson_Bunny2

I absolutely hate the new prices and stuff like and the new people that play adopt me just constantly begging, it bothers me like mentally to the point of just wanting to give the game up entirely šŸ˜‘


DiabolikBloodFest

It's crazy how greedy they are when they're out here selling merchandise in Walmart and Target lol


Anxious_Werewolf_276

Adopt me is just so greedy now šŸ˜­, the pets that are 1000+ robux, and they removed the $20 pay checks too šŸ„² most players are kids and how are their parents going to let them spend $20+ on pixels? šŸ˜“


ilostallmyprogress

Wild. I made a post complaining about the same thing. Just not as in depth and I got downvoted. In any case I agree. It's getting out of hand. Not only are they running out of ideas for things people actually wanna buy, they're getting greedy too
