    It's true IMO, if you MUST have a pet, shovel driveways. If you cant round up ten bucks for something that you deem that important, then it must not be that important. 10 bucks this day and age is really not hard to come by. There's giftcards from visa that go as low as $25, and they are sold generally everywhere. I mean, save your pop cans for a month, mow lawns, shovel snow, and you can make $25 pretty easily.

    If it's not worth it to you to put the effort in, then don't buy it and don't complain about expensive vanities that don't affect gameplay. Hell, do free offers for a week or two. I find it hard to believe that anyone who can afford (or parents can afford) a device and the wifi/service needed to play the game, can't scrounge up 10 bucks to buy some plat.
    Whether you're 14 or 44, if you're that dead set on it, you'll find a way. If not, you got more problems ahead of ya than a bunch of pixels (or lack of) in a video game.

    *This is just my opinion, I understand there are special exceptions for people, and this is in no way directed at my guildmate, Skeletonlord. I'm just tired of hearing about expensive vanities that in no way affect gameplay. Also, Rivet has been given away multiple times, and more to come I'm sure, so keep your chin up guys!*

    I do agree with Ebalere. but because of either the purchase having to be done by credit card or for IOS users by itunes card or others, the 10 dollars comes easy but the way to put the money to platinum doesnt. personally, i miss alot of deals of the day because i havent gotten around to buying an itunes card for platinum.
    but like he said, if its important, then you would do it and if not then you wont. just keep in mind that the pet vanities are extras for people that can get it, thus not making it that important. have a great day people.

    Finally, someone to talk about this! deal of the day is still $30 worth of plat, and to be honest, I'm not gonna spend that on a robot that just follows me around. I could get a decent used game for that price, but I guess sts has to pay the water bills

    maybe it does cost as much as a used game. but think about it this way, SL is a free game and you only need plat if you want something that cost plat. for me, i just decide to spen that money on this game than on a used game since i actually like this game over other games. it really is just what you want to spend your money on.

    people would say that it is a waste of money buying a $30 robot for a game but if you buy a used game its not. hmmmm... i wonder why?... they are for the same reason which is for a game and for your enjoyment.... some people just have to rethink what they say

    So you're happy with 'Plat' players as they have been dubbed, spending their hard earned cash.. so that non-plat players have a chance of playing. Is it not just all ways to help STS revenue, if players that don't have that kind of cash lying around so be it. But please do not label players (Directly/Indirectly) that like to pay Plat for exclusive vanity or event content, if you don't need to buy it to play the game, then there's no problem.

    If the new content was released though they changed it back (PL) to pay-to-play that would be something to worry about. Until then be glad there are players that are willing to do so on others behalf.

    Keep seeing this throughout, STS is not ripping us off in any way shape or form. We have a choice, if we want to buy the highly priced Plat items we do.. if not then that's all good too.

    You guys seem to forget that the RIVET was the 1rst Pet available in game. A handful have been implemented since & none have been even half that expensive. It is an exclusive pet for those who decide to buy it or won it in a contest.

    Eb makes some very good points. If its something you really want, put your mind to it & it will eventually happen. As for the comment on It Being Hard to Purchase Plat.
    I have 4 devices that all play STS games. All of them go through different systems for purchasing. It is not difficult in any way to purchase plat no matter what the method.

    I have suggested in the correct Suggestion thread recently about Rare Pet Drops. They should be achievable through other means besides plat purchased pets.
