I'm not sure of Justin's reasoning on giving Brock a sword, but I'd guess either Brock is an homage to a character that has a sword, or we didn't have an appropriate tool (like a trowel) so he defaulted to giving Brock a sword.

Allowing those specific names around the chat filter is on my todo list still. 2) This is a very neat idea and it's still on our suggestions list to consider for a future update. So many improvements to be had to trinkets and pets!

Why isn't that option available? I would LOVE to be able to buy the armor for my FINALLY tamed one of the horse mounts, the Champagne one. It took me this long to get one, since the new mounts were released and that's with not accepting the mount tamed. I was so excited when FINALLY got one, and immediately when to the Clouds to buy armor whereas ONCE AGAIN disappointed to find out need tons of cloud tokens whereas I only had 12. I looked everywhere to see if I could buy any, besides doing the quests, to find out NOPE! And when I'm talking about purchasing the tokens I mean with gold, or gems or combo of gold and gems, not with bush bucks. But I probably already know the answer.

I understand it would be convenient to spend your Gold and Gems on these tokens. The quest hubs are designed around completing their daily quests as the main way to earn tokens to spend in their stores. I don't mind maybe limiting it to a bundle of tokens for Gold/Gems once daily as a compromise... I'll consider this suggestion, thanks!

Sorry for wasting your time, and definitely mine. Bye... Will never post here again. Sorry my answer wasn't satisfying. I really do appreciate you sharing these suggestions with Georgia and I. I know it can be hard not to see your suggestions added to the game and it can be frustrating after a while. I simply cannot greenlight every suggestion, as each one takes time to not only implement, but design its impact on the game and test and iterate on. And as I'm the sole developer on the project, the time I spend on one thing delays another, so I've got to be very careful about what tasks/features we add to the game. I appreciate your patience and understanding. I hope you continue to post here!
