Why do some people take being disagreed with on the suggestion forum as a personal attack?
Your idea was to allowing people to freely buy other people's exalted dragons, dude. It's a terrible idea. But no one was being that aggressive in the no supports.
I hate how some people need the mildest crit even sandwiched in soft words and reassurances.
In this case tho it's like what did you think was going to be people's opinion? You're asking to buy other people's dragons. It's a very selfish suggestion and they weren't be aggressive so much as blunt and there's a difference between the two.
Irony is there are some situations where it wouldn't be *that* bad an idea. At least 90% of what I exalt is just trash fodder I have zero emotional connection to, and another big chunk is breeding-project fails that aren't much more important. The number of dragons I exalt purposefully so that no one else can ever make any changes to or have any control over them is very slim, either lore exalts or parents/kids of my permas.
So if users were automatically opted out of the 'buy exalts' program entirely unless they wanted to participate, and if you still had the option to 'lock' any given exalted dragon to your account and make it unbuyable, I wouldn't object.
(Some of the issues raised in the thread were 'would be unfair for dom' (would only be an issue in heated battles where you can't just buy as many adults off the AH for ~7kt as you want anyway, and even so, the price for buying an exalt could be 50kt or something) and 'exalting is the only way to get excess dragons out of the system' (true, but a resurrected exalt would still be taking up space in the user's lair, and how someone else uses their space doesn't affect my gameplay).)
What would get weird is ID tracking for raffles and whatnot, if it were possible for two users to have legitimately exalted and earned credit for the same dragon, that could open the door to a lot of shadiness.
But yeah, it would never happen, because too much of the motivation would be coming from a place of 'all exalting is evil' and it would just feed into that mindset.
