as much as I'd love to, I also fear denonning myself. But for what it is worth their art thread is marked as 'closed' so hopefully you wont come across them anyway. :(

What skin was this? It just disappeared from my hoard and its replaced by a blank "Accent Removed"

than ghostlight ruins for leveling fodder to lv 5+?

Yes, the exp amounts didn't change?

Completely agree with Katargo and I am 100% sure that the suggestion thread will be nuked for "hostility to staff" or mentioning Ba Sing Se or something.

I really don't like cycling items either, it just creates FOMO which just fills FR's pockets. :/

I wonder if someone out there kept track of when Wildclaw Scrolls (and other items) cycled in and out. I am kind of curious if there's been any semblance of a schedule or if it's just arbitrary. Kind of convenient that they're dumping it right when Christmas season is revving up. Pretty unfortunate too because it's coupled with a decent gem sale and is really pressuring people to get in on it despite the state the world is in and an huge, upcoming holiday.

Oh, and before anyone gets offended and makes this weird: I think it's perfectly okay for the staff to want money since running a successful site aint cheap. I don't blame them for wanting money especially around the holidays and are coming up with ways to increase sales to fatten their pockets. But to pull it off as a toxic FOMO stunt without any heads up to its consumer base doesn't look good on their part.

Thank you so much anon!! Does anyone have a picture of what it looked like?

i dont really think it's this serious. its only "fomo" in that you cant purchase them directly from the site, these cycled items can still be purchased from other players at a slight upcharge. most games offer black friday/cyber monday sales so it isnt surprising at all that FR is doing the same.

i think cycling gem items is stupid but calling staff "toxic" for this just feels silly.

I know its tracked for wildclaws on the wiki. Don't have time to check the rest

Also, can I say, I'm kind of confused at the amount of hostility on a Cyber Monday gem sale?

I understand that the cycling is shit timing, but no one faults Walmart for these kinds of sales on unnecessary shit. Why is the pet site not supposed to try to make money to stay open like they do?

I should have specified, but the staff themselves aren't toxic for doing a FOMO, but rather the business model of FOMO itself is known to be toxic.

And before someone starts attacking me: FR has in the past had some of the most bizarrely against supporting a site they enjoy people I've ever seen.

I have seen players brag they never give the site money as well as blocking ads before.

I understand not having money to do it, but they act like its a badge of honor to do it and look down on gem buyers.

ty for the wildclaw schedule.

Oops, sorry that I came off as hostile. I can, however, 100% promise you that people definitely are displeased with larger businesses doing this sort of thing as well you just wont find it on an anon drama petsite probably.

I tried really hard to find a picture bc I was also curious, but nothing turned up. I did find this post though which explains why it was removed, it's apparently been gone since 2017 or earlier.

idk why I wrote 2017, I meant 2019. Also, here's the creator's original post from 2016, maybe that will help somehow.

"it ate children"

that made me laugh harder than it had any right to :/

oh, yeah, I meant more like, because now there are more packs of totally physical attackers that might force you to restart if you start with them?

DA tbh the only thing i'm really annoyed about with this cycling thing is how short it is. they usually cycle in WC scrolls for longer than 4 days, or at least they did last time. ....i think. maybe. it's honestly been so long i can't remember but it feels like it was longer, so forgive me if i'm wrong about that.

also the fact that there wasn't any warning. we're usually given at least a little heads up, i think.

SA though i'm just miffed a bit bc i JUST bought gems yesterday, lol

yeah, by now some players might have already spent their fun money for the year/holidays

I'll own to feeling accomplishment for being filthy FR rich (as in, I'm not able to bid on that Boolean currently up for sale, but I'm more than a third of the way there in pure gems) without spending RL cash, but that's mainly because of the 'hard mode' factor. (And the reason I personally don't is because getting involved with anything remotely resembling microtransactions is too slippery a slope for me to feel comfortable with. That doesn't mean others aren't capable of making sound individual decisions about whether a given amount of FR currency is worth a given chunk of their RL entertainment budget, so no looking down there.)

With regards to why FR is heavy on the phenomenon, it might be because, unlike many other sites (that I know of, this one already takes up way too much of my brainspace, so I don't actively hunt for more), it's actually possible to be a hardline no-spender and still not be locked out of anything. Such types probably wouldn't be on a site where certain items/functionality/etc were only available to paying customers in the first place.

I'm not sure whether this would be considered an argument for or against, but reliable scheduling is an extremely attractive notion to me as someone who makes a lot of profit from flipping. As it stands I don't often invest in cycling gem items because that carries its own stripe of FOMO - if you never know when things are cycling back in, it's harder to judge exactly how long to wait to sell, and I don't feel like expending the mental energy on frustration/recrimination over making the wrong calls.

So on the one hand, it has potential to make rich players richer via a strategy that those who don't have a starting fund of gems can't use.

On the other, scalping isn't a worry with gem items as it is with limited-stock treasure things, and between-cycle prices would get less outrageous overall if more people get into the game - not to mention that charging someone an inflated price for an item that they are fully aware they can obtain cheaper in [X] specific amount of time feels less predatory than doing so when your buyer is uncertain how long they'd have to wait otherwise.

Fair enough, and if you can, more power to you. You aren't telling people they're lesser players for supporting a site they enjoy. That's the ones that annoy me.

I toss a 10 or 20 every so often and cut a junk food purchase or two to get gems every now and then. Better for my health.

BINGO
