Depending on where you are at in your Torn career; some eggs are not useful. For sample:
If you are new, white eggs aren’t useful. You have cheap rehab.
if you are old seasoned, yellow eggs aren’t useful. Happiness boost doesn’t help much.
My suggestion is the ability to exchange eggs (minus gold). A 2 to 1 or even 3 to 1 ratio. This would only be player to system not player to player.
The eggs all balance each other out for scaling purposes, some will benefit older players more, others newer players and some are good all around. I don't think an eggschange would be a good thing as we'd have to completely change the spawning systems around that to compensate. Some eggs are purposefully very rare, you might get 1 a year or longer if you're lucky, we couldn't just have a set exchange like that. It would need some kind of scale based on the type of egg.
Cannot be done without huge adjustments, and those adjustments would further the perceived imbalance. Ie. I'd gladly exchange 8 eggs for a single purple egg for unlimited special ammo.
So a weighting system already exists? In which case you have a rough idea of how you'd want to price up the eggs for exchange, or could at least use that as an initial framework, but have starting rates of any 2/3 eggs = one base egg (whatever Devs have determined the worst egg is) and scale from there.
But if some of them are more useful for beginners, while other eggs are better for seasoned players, doesn't it mean that it's already equally fair for the whole spectrum, and exchanging would just make things easier for everybody, making the game itself slightly easier?
Why keep making the game easier?
only if it's 3:1 exchange rate and the egg you get in return is random, including the possibility that you'll just get another one of the eggs you just traded in
