Re: NvP

OP here -- I was not judging the Raffles on the prize price cap necessarily, I was judging them by the poorly chosen previews on Nature's part.

When I checked (I did not take a screenshot, sorry for that) Nature's preview had: a Nature egg, a Loga, a Sprouting Gemini, a Growing Jeweler, while Plague's preview had a Fire Sprite, Boneyard Tatters, a gorgeous WC skin by Phenri, and an Arcane Sprite.

Nature has since moved their preview to the Fodder Farm Raffle ("Inspired by Shadow's Fodder Farm, Nature has opened our own") and updated their Raffle preview to a Plague Spire, an Akirbeak (current LAH 27.5kg, so technically in violation of the max 25kg rule?), Leafy Gladeboughs, and a Nature Sprite. When clicking through to the Boarding thread, they also have some Boneyard chimes in there.

What actually surprises me more (yeah, this OOF Boarding setup just keeps on giving me pause) is that their offer for unfilled slots is a flat 2 tickets per slot offered (5 tickets per day per dragon). The last time I boarded (though I do not remember which flight), you got tickets regardless of whether your slots were filled or not, just to avoid you offering those slots to the other flight if that flight didn't fill it fast enough.

Idk. I'm feeling a lot like an old woman shaking my cane at the sky, and maybe I am. I liked the way things were done in the past, and NvP just making it all worse and putting it like they're re-inventing the wheel just feels meh. Like their reinvented wheel is square in shape and they're all proud and try to convince you it's secretly way better because it's easier to clean. Yeah, no, I liked my wheels round, tyvm.
