So, I want a permanent storage solution in a bad way. But I just had an idea to permanently resolve monster storage forever. Submitted for the approval of Social Point. I really think this has legs.

OK so I figure y'all aren't making slots in the Vault free so those who have purchased slots won't feel cheated. You want something balanced. I'm just operating off that assumption.

Make a new section in the Monster Lab that turns a monster back into an egg. It could have some timer like everything else, based on the monster's rarity and rank. Just like certain rewards we already get, that egg would be at whatever star rank the monster was. It would go into storage (which is already unlimited). Runes and relics unequipped for free just like the extracting process. As such, it would be completely unusable in any battles. And, if needed, it could be hatched (and re-fed) all over again.

Somebody tell me why this is a bad idea, because I don't see it!

only con I can think of is if you eggify a monster needed for breeding

I see two main reasons this is a bad idea and will not happen:

1. SP will not do that because that does not generate any income or benefit to them with all these "free" options you mention.

2. I see no benefit to me, why would i want to regress a monster to have to waste food and time to craft and hatch it again?

I am still a fan of the vault, the only problem I have with it is the cost of slots. They overpriced it so much that it is unusable. And to be honest I do not think it should be free. In fact of all the games I play NONE offer a free option for character storage. However SP is the only one that charges you an arm, a leg, a lung and half your brain to buy one slot.

Hmm, not having access for breeding events (particularly El Colosal) is a pretty big drawback... Good point.

I mean, honestly, I'd be egging all my less-than legendary monsters that are taking up room in the Vault first. Which for me is over 140 (mostly epics). So that alone would help me for a long while.

Nyan, I don't think I'm quite as cynical as you are, but you may be right. But I don't agree that this shouldn't be something free. This game encourages collection as core mechanic. Requiring microtransactions for a core mechanic is wrong. But significantly reduced costs for Vault slots would be ok with me too.
