I, as just a normal user (who has been playing since 2011) always knew CS was a more relaxed pet site and I did never expect to get crazy or many features added to the site compared to Flight Rising. The yearly events (Easter, Halloween, Advent and Summer Event) where a nice addition to the website to keep it lively.
But still, the site lacked many QoL features that people wanted for many years, which where on the surface not really hard to implement. Ex. Exclude Store items and UR Pets from the Pet counter, let us find pets we own directly in the Archive and visa versa, let us have a Major and Minor Wishlist to differentiate between pets/items we really want and hoards, let us make folders for pet groups, etc.
People on CS never wanted crazy complicated features compared to Flight Risings lets say Baldwin, they just wanted to the site to be maintained properly and be polished that the user experience is good.
But the site was stagnating the last 7 years or so, and the inflation of C$ did not help either, it seemed even unknowingly the staff contributed to it with making everything newly released more expensive in the store.
I am somewhat glad that now things seem to take a better turn and the QoL features will be implemented that people wanted so long. CS has always be my comfort pet site where I can just relax and I hope that will not change in the future. I hope no too quick decisions are made but I hope that they can at least get a second coder on the team since Nick seems have to be taken also a backseat on the coding for CS.
