The real ethical question is,
*if* you sell them, knowing that they will eventually be *ahem* rebalanced, is it unethical to not tell your customers?

This question pretty much sums up the dilemma making any animalCL10 or below. Is 10K HAM too high? Is 5K HAM too high? Is it only ethical to sell CL10 animals we "know" are allowed because we can see them running around in the wild? Try making one of those animals. They come up invalid more often than not.


It is entertaining to see people dictate ethics to others. Is it unethical to commit murder only because it is illeagal? Is it ethical to drive faster than 55 miles an hour knowing there is a law prohibiting the act?What about premarital sex? Who gets to decide your ethics?


Ethics while playing a video game involves cheating. The dev's statement made it clear no cheating is involved while making these animals. You set your ethical values. My ethics are my own. Do not even begin to tell me what my values should be.
