As the title says, what's your oldest purchase/Mail you currently have? Mine is this Full Heal, which I got on January 1st, 2016 for reasons not even i know (it's a mystery indeed), by now this Full Heal does everything but heal. Don't have to mention it, but it's staying on my mail for the rest of my life

After 1 YEAR, 2 MONTHS AND 5 DAYS, i've reached +500k TOTAL UNOWN ENCOUNTERS! Was curious about certain statistics (and saving for posterity), so i decided to take some info:
Total Unown Encounters: 500,036
Phase Completed: 21
Average Per Shiny Unown: 23,811
Unique Unown Letters: 13 (A, B, E, G, I, O, P, R, S, U, W, X, Y)
Duplicate Unown Letters: 8 A (x2), P (x1), S (x2), W (x1), Y (x2) -

Another milestone i see worth sharing for. After 21st Shiny Unowns, and with this, i've reached 13 unique letters, that means i'm done with half the alphabet, it will get more complicated from now on, and i for sure don't know how long it will take, but i will continue until my patience runs out. If i ever update here again, it will probably after getting all the letters, or another Secret.
SpoilerAnd this is the current roster for now:
-
7562 Encounters (9642 hours). That's two new letters to the collection, with this half of the alphabet is done, but still a long way ahead. Pretty happy with the quick phases too.

My longest shunt is 100% a Shiny Unown "A" i have. To put things in perspective, the best chance you have to get the majority is by going to Solaceon Ruins, where 20 of them share a singular spot (multiple of them), so you're bound to get duplicates at some point, also something you might need to know it's that Unown encs aren't your normal single enc shunts, they have a low appear rate, so sometimes you have to do a lot of steps to get an encounter, in fact, I'd say that it's pretty common to go +100 steps without an encounter (even with Illuminate + Lure).
Continuing my longest shiny hunt history, i was shunting in Solaceon Ruins to obtain more letters. I guess I was collecting too many shinies so the game chose to give me 115.187 encounter shunt this time, all of which were single/double enc Unowns. After 115k Unowns i finally found another one, the aforementioned "A", and you know the worst part of it? By that point i already had two Shiny Unowns A's, it was like the game was laughing at me, had to accept defeat and caught my third blue A. -

Thought sharing this here would be cool, as it's a very special occasion to me.
After 31st Single enc shinies and +500k encs in total. I finally found my Secret, i remember being so excited about getting one when they were revealed back in June of 2022, as i by that time i was already doing single encounter shunts, so i anticipated getting one relatively quick. But oh dear how wrong i was.
That initial feeling kept growing with time, as i was seeing more and more people getting them at so few phases, sometimes that number going a bit high, but none of them going higher than 10 at most cases. While i was here trying my hardest to get one, without a single result, at some point i accepted and kind of remained hopeful that at some moment ("eventually" as i said) i was going to find one, even if it would take months/years, it was bound to happen at some point, as long as I kept trying without stopping, which is pretty much the essential for any shiny hunt.
Given this was almost a two year journey, thinking about how many shinies I found throughout that time, the amount of times i got happy to found a shiny, but slightly disappointed it wasn't Secret (minus on Safari, i'm glad those weren't). If you ask me, I was expecting to go double overodds Secret, as it had become the standard for me to joke about not getting one, sarcastically stating everytime "next one would be for sure".
What i wasn't expecting that the last time i said that, it would be actually the next one, and i couldn't be happier, after thousand of hours grinding, doing encs, getting phase through phase, i finally got one, and on top on that, on one of my favourites Unown letters. It has been around 4 hours since i caught it, but i'm still speechless, i can't believe i already have my first Secret Shiny, and this journey for it made it this special.
SpoilerFor anyone curious, all my Secret phases were: Teddiursa (Safari), Cyndaquill (Safari, fled), Feebas, Staryu, 5 Fearows, Meowth, Slowpoke, Phanphy, Sunkern (Safari), Mareep (Safari, fled) and 17 Unowns.
-
32665 Encounters (9263 hours). After 31st Secret Phases, i finally got my first Secret Shiny, on a new (and one of my favourites) letters. On the day i come back after a few weeks break. Totally speechless.
SpoilerOn another note, as @Ramallero suggested, i've made a sheet with a lot of specific info about all my Unowns i got till now if anyone's curious (IVs/Nature/Hidden Power, etc). You can find it on the first item of the FAQ, ty for the suggestion again!

Great job! It would be nice to see what Hidden power the unown you catched have, and you can try to complete a "sub quest" of catching 1 unown of each HP (without changing them with gems)
I've been thinking in maybe making a Google Spreeadsheet at some point, where i'll include all the Unowns + IVs and Hidden Power of each. I'll have to see, but it's a good idea

Another milestone reached! +400k TOTAL UNOWN ENCOUNTERS! Getting close to half a million!

I too understand the message and the reasons behind it, but pretty much blaming the scammed, no matter how many similar cases there are, seems a bit rude, to say the least.
Refusing to help someone who's been scammed for doing something that's been done like this (because we lack a better method of doing it, and no, sending the money per trade is anything but comfortable when you're trading 5+ boxes at once unless you wanna spend your evening staring at the PC) for well over 5 years is crazy, what is this supposed to be? A disciplinary punishment? So people learn to... not be scammed?
I do kinda agree with your opinion, telling the buyer/victim to "refuse to give the money back" because it unwittingly trusted to someone who undoubtedly and KNOWINGLY acted in malicious intent from the very first moment doesn't sound right with me, but that's beside the point.
As you were saying this method has been done for well over 5 years now, in that time the player amount grew significantly, and to a scale nobody expected it, yet the trading method stayed the same (as it's the only tool we have to do it). This ends up taking us to the current day where there are far more scammers taking advantage of this (by now) obsolete procedure, as you can see from the almost day-to-day person in Global/Trade saying "don't trade with X guy because he's a ditto scammer". It appears by now it's cleary taking it's toll to the staff as it's becoming far too common.
Simply telling the player to not "pay upfront" and providing some unappealing tips isn't gonna completely stop this problem, by this point this should be addressed differently -
Exactly this. It's gonna be some time until everyone (or most people) go back to paying the full price on first trade, like most people do currently. And it's not because they are exactly "looking" to get scammed. But because it saves time on what's already a lenghty (and to be honest, an inconvenient) process (particulary if there are multiple boxes)
I can understand what are they trying to convey with this, having dozens (possibly hundreds) of cases of Ditto box scamming weekly and only a few staffs to review them isn't feasible at all, especially if we also add the other types of reports. But it needs to be understand that they aren't doing any favours to the community with this, and it isn't the most welcomed way to approach it, which can be solved (as the post is suggesting) with something like a whole box trading. This idea would fully eliminate Ditto scams while also making it more convenient (and faster) for both parties involved
