I don't quite get what you mean by the transfer system making rare pates (pets?) harder to get. I think it makes things easier, as transfers eliminate a pet-loss risk, unless you were a pound sniper in the old days,
As for paying for the good stuff, I agree, based on the Trade section here, at cK. All the legit rich bastards got (or will get) iced wrongfully by those dillholes called TNT, and all the other rich fucks got that way by being at places like here!
So yeah, fuck legit! Welcome to cK!
