I try to be very picky when adopting. When I first found out people online adopted their pets though I did try and adopt often then become overwhelmed (because at the time I didn't know you could take them out of one folder and hold them somewhere else). Still, I try to be very picky. I tend to breed my petz a lot though and end up putting a large portion of them on adoption threads. It does irk me a little when I see someone going in nearly every adoption thread and grabbing a ton, unless it's in the Pound area of course or through mystery picks.
Right now I have 11 petz I'm keeping to myself, I think one of them is adopted (trying for another non-freebie). I wouldn't mind more but I like variety and there's usually not that much. By variety I mean wildz and such. I'm very picky with my petz haha.

I try to adopt less than the max from any thread. It bothers me when one person only comes to a certain place to adopt, adopts the total max and then leaves for a bit... OR when people use 'sympathy pleas' to get even MORE petz. x.x ALL OF THIS! I rage over this constantly because it isn't a lot of people that do it (other than possibly uneducated newbies) but there is usually a single person that adopts EVERYTHING and they never seen to get that people get annoyed if they're like, "Can I have PET1, PET2, PET3, PET4, PET5, PET6? I hope I'm not being greedy, LOLOLOLOL, it said unlimited!" and you're like, "Well clearly you're being greedy if there are like, 12 petz and you adopted 7 of them and they are all the most attractive petz out of the group >:[" I don't mind if people themselves have a lot of petz as long as they don't just shove them away in a folder and literally hoard them. But if people constantly adopt everything, it pisses me off beyond belief. I get physically angry, ugh.

>> I'm not trying to be greedy, but I'm trying to rebuild my crew of breeding stock (yes, they are breeding stock to me, I don't really playy play anymore) and I've lost my old crew completely. Having been in the PC for ages, I had a huge crew of all sorts of rare hexes and awesome bred petz so I'm devastated, but I'm used to having a huge pool of dogz for breeding. Now I'm just adopting a good number of petz so I can slowly build up my stock again. I breed for the community, not necessarily myself, and since I only want to offer the best to my friends, I like having a lot to choose from.
If I told you all how many petz I had (I counted once when I was more active), I'm sure some people would come at me with pitchforks but hey, it's a game, and moreover, with hexies, it's a collecting game. I don't feel particularly offended by people who have a lot of petz, but yeah, it's a bit awk when I say "unlimited adoptions!" and someone asks for all of them and I have to say, "dude, I know I said unlimited but I didn't ask you to be a greedy pig!"
But yeah, I try to refrain from adopting sprees. But when I do, I make sure to give back!!

Haha I'm a tamsin/dali mixie hoarder. I think they're so gorgeous, and I love how many different kinds of mismatched ears/tails/feet are acceptable/liked on them. So I admit I have... maybe 35 of those alone. I can't give an exact number since I was just breeding and there are 60 petz in that profile at the moment. x) However, dalis are about all I have (not counting my ~20 catz) and I breed them quite a lot so I don't feel bad about it. That being said, they are strictly breeding stock. I may have played with my bred petz once, but the number got too high and now they are foldered except for when they're procreating. I don't feel bad about that either: at least they're put to good use, not simply adopted because they were pretty. Also. I don't care if people have huge amounts of pets, but it does bug me when I see the same person on every single adoption thread all within like 5 minutes all adopting the max amount they can. It's like daaaaamn, calm down. ^ this >___>

Pretty sure I said it before, but just incase I didn't - I really see nothing wrong with having a lot of petz & the sort. I can also see why people would want to collect hexies & the like with the way things are set up. But yea, it's pretty much what Artemis & Kari described with the crazy masses and taking the 'unlimited' a little too literally. haha. and going to /every/ adoption board to find as many pretty pets as humanly possible x3
I think part of the reason I enjoy my 'breeding' stock as others have mentioned here is that it's fun to breed them/give back to the community. Whenever I see a really heart-felt wanted board about a mixie that they want, it feels so good to be able to breed it for them & help them out. And I love when I adopt some petz out and they're shown off & loved, or maybe bred later and all their little spawn is running around x3 haha

I don't think having a lot petz is bad or anything. I'm just pretty picky when adopting petz, because I know I'll end up MPA-ing petz that I like a little bit or just think they're pretty. I mostly use my petz for breeding, but I'm attached to them. It's kinda weird but oh well. I think it's fun to adopt petz out, or help other people in the wanted ad's section of the forum. Just giving something back to the PC, if that makes sense :3
I might do a MPA soon, too. Because I think I have to many petz. I don't have a huuuuge crew or anything, but there are just some petz that I don't click with.. *counts* I have about 18 catz and 13 dogz and then a lot of purebred RB's for a project I just started with, but I'm not going to count them as my 'crew'.

This topic is very interesting, because I have thought about this before but I didn't know it bothered other people to! I know I get really annoyed on another site when the same person seems to take absolutely everything that is pretty! "really?! You are taking another one!" but its not to bad here as far as I have seen. I myself only have about 9 dogs in my crew, I adopt when I see a pet I like but if I don't click with it's personality I add it to my breeding crew or MPA. With cats I adopt much more frequently and have alot more of them but I have a list of criteria and I only adopt those who are exactly or close to what I was looking for.

I don't care if people have huge amounts of pets, but it does bug me when I see the same person on every single adoption thread all within like 5 minutes all adopting the max amount they can. It's like daaaaamn, calm down. That's the only thing that bothers me slightly because even for breeding surely you can't enjoy them properly when you get so many at once like that. On the few occasions that I've made a request in a grab bag thread I find that sudden influx of pets too much to enjoy properly. So I do wonder what people do with all of those pets. Sure it's fun looking at adoption threads but if that's all you are doing; skipping the playing bit; I think they are missing out. IMO I think it's very easy to look at an adoption thread and think that's the prettiest, I'll have that one but I try and think in the context of my crew and whether I will really play with it. I think large crews in general though are just a natural result of a relatively small community as ours is, breeding and hexing a lot of pets. They have to go somewhere so slowly but surely we all end up with larger crews than we intended.

HI I'M KAHI I HOARDE TAMS
Interesting thread! I rarely adopt - I have about three petz from someone other than myself :<. But I do raise an eyebrow when I see people applying for a lot of petz in one go, like everyone's said. Makes me wonder where they learned their manners.
As for me, I have a lot of dogz for my breeding projects, as that's what happens when you do it yourself from scratch and are trying for a non-inbred line. They usually get deleted (gaspshockhorror) and what's left ends up as either my crew or adoptions. I think my crew itself is pretty small though... I think I have about 15 dogz and a couple of catz that I wouldn't dream of getting rid of and love to play around with. Breeding takes forever though, so I'm sure it'll grow with time.

Even when someone asks for the best 8 out of 10 petz in a litter, I'm not nearly as annoyed if they admit they're being greedy in the process. Don't give me crud about, "I HOPE I'M NOT BEING GREEDY" or anything like that. You know you're being a jerk and adopting more than you should. At least own up to it? .__.

Ah, it doesn't bother me much with bred petz (I adopt solely for breeding stock, I don't really play with my bred petz, tbh) but with hexed petz... oh. my. god. They adopt SO many, and you see them shown off once and then where do they go? ;^;

One last post before I go to bed.
YES! I agree completely. I'm terrible at showing off my petz, but at least I don't adopt a ton and then never speak of them again. Besides, I don't adopt a lot of hexies for just that reason. To me, they're special. ^^;

I don't care how many petz someone has tbh.. It's a game and the animals are not real so I don't see a problem with it. I have sooo many tamsins in both 4 and 5 and I very rarely if ever do a MPA @_@. However, it /does/ bother me when people adopt a lot of petz from every single adoption thread. Why don't you back off and let other people get what they want? Or.. breed your petz and give back to the community?
As for hexes.. it does irk me a bit that the same people seem to apply for every hex but not enough to make me rage. I do often wonder how some people see to have all the popular hexes. Eh.. I never apply so I can't complain too much. XD
MORAL OF THE STORY (rambling): Don't be greedy. Share with your friends. :3
