I remember someone at one of the holidays abandoned a bunch of "extra" seed to the wild garden to give people a chance at getting a bred variety of an event plant. Unfortunately, that person's kindness went to waste when someone (or several someones) picked those from the wild garden and immediately trashed them because they weren't "pristine" seeds (unbred and taken only by them).
So I wondered if we might have the plants/seeds that we abandon to the garden (or that get sent to the garden when breeding) available from another list instead of going back to the wild garden? That way all those who are so concerned about having only parentless plants that were taken only by them as seeds or bred from those can have their way while the rest of us who now hesitate to scatter seed for fear it will just be trashed as "worthless" may pick up "donated" plants if we wish.
I thought perhaps it could just run on the same script as the wild garden, but pull the plants from a database of abandoned plants (would be nice if we could change that term to "donate" instead--sounds kinder) instead of generating them randomly from the new plant database. Or it could just be a page of text links to the plants, and we could choose to adopt the plant or not after seeing the plant's page.
I know this is a lot of work. Just a thought for the future, as many people who come in here from other games have been trained to think that parentless adoptables are "better" than bred ones, and don't understand our culture of sharing and helping one another to build our collections. They think we're just dumping what we don't want back into the garden for someone else to get our "leftovers".
