How is allowing bots and macros any less punishing than making you solve a PONIES puzzle in 2 seconds? It's not, because you won't have any competition for the crystals no one wants, so your speed of solving doesn't matter. And people that write bots to snag things do so because they don't want to do it themselves. Hence they wouldn't take the time to camp the bazaar themselves. Even without a 2 second PONIES question. And POINES presumably can't be botted or they would have been removed already as being ineffective.
And you haven't seen Vigor because you either haven't been looking for them or your connection is so slow that they are generated and bought before you can even load the page.

What? I'm saying that putting ponies in the bazaar punishes people who can't solve them! I have no problems with PONIES myself. And I think that people shouldn't have problems with PONIES, but they still do, even 2 months after the patch. Putting PONIES in the bazaar would punish them too much. Why can't YOU just deal with your slow connection not letting you get any crystals. It doesn't kill the game for you not to be able to get cheap crystals every once in a while in the Bazaar. And my connection is perfectly fine thank you, I get less than 100ms latency with wireless on a bad day. It's true I wasn't looking for them though, since I'm not actively raising the PL of my monsters, just getting enough to get them all above 25. I got every crystal I saw with no problem.

A little detour from all the bazaar camper bot stuff...
Tenb, can you change the regift function in the shrine page to use document.onkeyup instead? As far as I can see, it doesn't interfere with any of your existing functions, and it seems to work in chrome and IE, at least from my limited testing. No idea about Firefox though, don't have it installed.

This is moronic logic at best. PONIES stops cheaters in the game and it's not unjustly punishing people, so how is adding it to the Bazaar any different? People can't solve them? Then how are they playing at all? You infer that there are people that either somehow manage to play without ever seeing PONIES (impossible), or that they get -20 stamina every time. In either case, they don't have credits to buy anything from the bazaar, much less crystals. And if you can't discern between 4 ponies, with a guide given to you, then you deserve to be punished. Even monkeys can memorize number sequences and match pictures.

*slaps forehead* *trains monkey to buy crystals*
anyway... - It should be possible for weapons to be in more than one equipment set, like armor. - Spirit, Focus and Defend should probably require two clicks, like most other things already do. - Having a line on the left listing currently active auras (e.g. ROGBI) would be useful for people who switch them a lot.

-The weapon thing has been on the table for a long time, but it would require a larger then normal amount of work to fix and thus a larger then normal amount of time -Showing your active auras would be useless to perhaps the majority of players as at least a large number/the most active players pretty much have all the aura slots open and thus all the auras active at once (unless some are removing them to reduce their xp gains). It certainly wouldn't hurt anything, but I'm not sure how much of a benefit it would provide.

Give us a fountain of snowflake so people can throw credits in and hope for better luck. Will that be useful? Who cares. At least it should stop 90% of those 'bad luck' complaints.

It would be funny if monster PL entitled you to freely choose a name for the monster. For instance you have a monster at pl 500. Click rename and choose whatever name you want. If it's in use by a different player and is currently below your monster's PL, his becomes inactive and he's forced to rename it when he checks it's status. That would solve the name hoarding in a competetive way. I think this could be interesting. It's not like you lose your monster and it's uprades when someone steals claims your monster's name. If you want it back, pay the iron price upgrade your monster's stats!
It would need some safety measures though to avoid abusing (or harassing). Like that you can only initiate the rename once a day (unless it's name was bumped by a different player and the monster became inactive - this should be a free rename).

For ability tree resets, it would be convenient if you started in a mode where clicking a block would reset just that block, with two buttons for [Done] and [Reset All] at the bottom of the page. I usually just want to reset a few, like upgrading tier 1 holy -> tier 2 upon levelling, so there's no need to wipe and reenter the whole tree.
Back to monster lab suggestions Total up the primary stat and elemental crystals that have been plowed into a monster so far, and display the cost at current shop prices. I just did it manually, and it was more than I expected.
Add a monster status link like the equipment popup links that already exist.
With that in place, enable attaching monsters to Mooglemail.
... With two options for its use. 1) Trading monsters between players without manual action by the admin needed 2) "You have mail." *click envelope icon* "As you open the door to get the mail, Rollo the Giant attacks you!"

For the new patch it should probably be made so you can only spend 5 chaos tokens per category for every 100 PLs so your monster can only be fully maxed out after level 400 otherwise lower level players are gonna probably have to hard a time if they come across maxed out monsters considering most lower level players don't have the funds to upgrade gear which I assume was the reason to make monsters more powerful through chaos tokens.
Of course I have no idea if this is true or not some lower level players would have to confirm if this is the case

The amount of levels in each upgrade that you can buy is determined by PL. My lv 100 monsters can only put 2 lvs max in each skill whereas my lv 370 can put a max of 8.

A check all Button for Monsters! Now that you have to check more it is needed!
Or even better, make them Auto check and get a bag of loot each dawn event.

Bookmark all of your monster stat page in a single folder -> Open all bookmarks (preferably in new window) -> Wait til all page finished downloading -> Check each page for gift if you like -> Close the browser

There's a Google Chrome addon for that: FreshStart. You can create a session, of the pages of each of your monsters. Then, every time you want to check, open the session, then close it. Problem solved.
