Cockfighting

[GamingRAM]

When looking at the "What would an ideal endgame look like for you?" thread, I couldn't help but to think what it is in MMOs that I so desperately need yet probably take for granted, what is it that keeps me playing? Well the answer to that is a multitude of different things, but the same underlining cause to them is "want". I always want "something". Something to strive for, something to achieve, something to have or get to be better or have more than I did before. Be it rare curiosities, pets, mounts, a fancy new piece of gear, an achievement, or a self-made objective.

So I would like to make a suggestion for a fun activity (and arguably very unethical), that won't solve the question above, but perhaps will help. Cockfighting.



I would like to see some kind of mini cage or arena that will allow small animals to fight against one another, with their Quality and RNG being the factors that will lead one being triumph over the other. (Note you wouldn't control them like Pokemon).

Small animals we have now:
-Chickens <---- Breedable
-Rabbits <---- Breedable
-Squirrels
-Crabs
-Hedgehogs
-Ducks
-Swans
-Beetles (I think, I haven't played in a while)

Chickens and Rabbits would appeal to those who like to grind Quality, while non-breedable critters would appeal to those who like to leave their walls and go scavenger hunting. It would be similar where one of the ideas for Pokemon came from, trying to find the best beetle to compete against others. I don't know about you, but the idea of traveling the world in search of the highest Quality Crab or Hedgehog to compete against my friends sounds fun.

Edit:
Upon searching through Google instead of the search section of the forums, I found this: viewtopic.php?f=48&t=48254
Still I would like to see some sort of arena for small-critters (aside from chickens) to compete against one another.

Cocks should just naturally fight each other, with higher quality ones winning out unless injured before.

I agree with this, despite the fact that I don't play the game anymore I still attend (and sometimes host) community fair events. Grinding stats is boring, some fluff like this needs to be implemented.

I love cocks

Deterministic 'higher quality wins' would be boring, as one can get an endless supply of fresh cocks from the coops (so they can be wrought without further thought after winning the fight). Would be better if they would come in different colors to be visibly distinguishable and the quality having no effect on the outcome - then betting on cock fights could be fun.

If we're being serious, cocks that win fights should give them special stat modifiers or something. Level them cocks up.

Pretty much that.
