Rules

Edit: I have updated the rules:

ADDENDUM TO RULE THREE (3): Because I do NOT want another instance of shit that happened this month, and the shit that happened in @anonrising, Fandom Politics are NOT ALLOWED. This includes, but is not limited to:

•          Anime
•          Fanfiction/Fanart 
•         Anti/Proshipping war bullshit      

*These subjects almost inevitably bring up Anti/Proship bullshit and there are folks on both sides who might be triggered by certain content, or feel dismissed by various argument points on both sides. As a result, THEY ARE  NOT ALLOWED. This site is for DRAGON DRAMA, not your Pro/Anti shipping bullshit. Take it to fandomwank or fandom_secrets or whatever other platform they're using nowadays.

pet site items are a lot less worth out of context than the money they would be worth if you'd take the on-site value and just convert it 1:1 to rlc
i'm a freelance artist and if someone would pay me KS stuff for art i'd ask for a whole set or at least three because then the rlc conversion would someeeeewhat equal to my rates. is someone, anyone gonna do that? nah.
i guess in the context of fursuits - a skycat won't pay the costs for fake fur.

nayrt
What would you base your rlc conversion on? A whole set seems like it would fetch a lot on the black market.

Also, for some reason I didn't even factor that a fursuit has the cost of materials too. Yea if someone took a fursuit commission for purely virtual goods/currency they'd actually be out rlc... I'd at least pay for the cost of materials in rlc tbh.

i just treated the conversion with FR's usual one, 1 gem is 1 usd, basically the "casual" way.
my rates for non-commercial fullbodies usually start in the 300's (euro though, not usd). would someone really want to pay me 3-4 ks items for an artwork? highly doubting it. but meanwhile 1 ks item for an artwork sounds like I'd be selling myself short (or rather my time), yet it would be a lot more acceptable from the onsite worth of the ks item.
like if I was actively still very focused on FR and had not much freelance work to do anyway, I'd consider looking for 1 ks equals 1 artwhatever, but my schedule is tight and I know other ways to spend my time to gain money or worth that isn't a winged pixel cat.
does that make sense? it's just difficult to find artists actually looking for petsite goods as payment that aren't 16 year olds making pencil doodles on the forums. not to shit on those of course, I think a lot of artists on FR are selling themselves short, but 2000 gems sounds like a lot more than 20 USD and there's still the level of quality one wants for their cash whether RL or ingame. just who pays what and who wants what.

300 usd is equivalent to 30kg, not 300kg lol
