You know that game Crab Chance? My idea is basically a modified version of that game for personal use. But first, there would have to be an entirely new content.

So you walk into a new shop in destiny, right? That shop is ran by a master crabber who wants to sell his merchandise, and since large red crabs (not to be confused with blue crabs or the smaller furniture crabs) are those pesky thieves that "no one wants," he sells them for the right price. I'm sure some other cool furnitures could be thrown in there, such as a crab cage and nets and stuff.

Now those large red crabs aren't just ordinary crabs. They are furniture items that can be toggled by the switch from the castle shop to make them them 1. Dig, 2. Run loose, and 3. Climb back into their shells to be opened by a player (which are all the basic steps the crabs take in the crab chance game).

What they dig for when you hit the switch is the problem. Maybe the house owner taps on an individual crab to designate an item (gralats, loot, food, etc. that come out of the house owners inventory), and if they aren't designated an item then they simply dig up a rock or something. Then after digging, you hit the switch and it makes them run frantically until you hit the switch again to make each crab stop in place. It would be easy to rig up a system using passwords and the castle furniture to be exactly like crab chance, and it could even be made into other game adaptations, including auctions. The only problem is that the switch only has two settings.  

Sounds like a way to get players to give other players their own gralats/items which I doubt Classic wants. I do agree, though, that a house crab pet that walks around, digs, and pops up would be cool.

I don't think it would be harmful to simply allow disposable items, gralats, and loot, as I stated. This excludes any hats, mounts etc. Maybe a max of like 300 gralats?

But couldn't you just end up giving away 300 gralats every time? I had just always assumed that Classic doesn't want trading of items/gralats at all. I can see players making their own mini-game out of it but being wble to give away prizes seems like that's something they wouldn't want.

Giving away gralats for loot and food would hardly change any values whatsoever. The economy created by it would be so puny that changes in demand would be microscopic and unnoticeable. If it were hats, juggles, and mounts, on the other hand, it would be a different story. The amount of money this would bring to the company's pockets would be a million times greater than the amount of money lost due to the ****ty microscopic economy created.

I think the point is this would enable a method to transfer currency between accounts, which promotes and rewards account stealing. It doesn't matter the quantity of gralats..

This is what I'm saying. Honestly if Classic wanted you to trade food, loot, or gralats, they could have easily set that up instead of doing an elaborate crab furniture to allow you to do that.

I like the crab and its animations as a furniture pet, but I can't see items transferring being a thing from them.  

New guild system should be prioritized, I understand this is like a side thing to do but I prefer having a large and long standing activity over something I'll do once for 10 minutes.  

I'd like to see some version of crabs introduced as a house-baddy. Not counting for kills, not super threatening or anything... but something that you can 'spawn' and fight in a given range... that would be cool

I actually really like this idea

I can see people putting them in their house's spar arena. That would actually be pretty damn cool to spar someone and have a crab or any baddy that can hurt you in there.
