that's actually the kind of person that people warn each other about in those circles

Yeah, I don't love it. Was mucking around a little yesterday, didn't even try to use my 126 STR KB flier with two fodder because I want to focus on the fams instead of having to refresh a lot, so I took a support mage, but even then noticed rallied Elims don't work for most of the new enemies. Not tincturing him because I'm hoping some of them will be walked back a bit, as happened with the Mire update, but it's been long enough now that that doesn't seem likely.

Probably going to have to give up on having a double trainer if that's the case - it was already bad enough having three physical attackers that needed a scratch to go down, the thought of more makes me cringe. Draining away enough QCK to give him 133 STR would make haste a necessity, and I hate haste, so.

Yep. This is the kind of person who winds up on those "unspoken lists" of people who make the furry fandom look bad, and therefore should be avoided, blocked and blacklisted, because befriending them gives YOU a bad image, and that person ends up being gross via commissions, DMs, etc.

(I speak from personal experience. Befriended one of the "weird/gross" furries before anyone could give me a warning about them, and the SHIT they talked about being into and tried to get me to RP/draw was AWFUL, and blocking them and trying to cut them off was a DISASTER. They stalked me for TEN YEARS- I had to make so many accounts and remake myself in the fandom four times before I shook them off.)

So yeah, definitely not a norm in the furry fandom.

"((Honestly, Ellipoo wasn't one of the ones really annoying me last time I was scroll flipping though. I forget who it was of the top of my head, but even they are nowhere near as bad as Carnivore was. Carnivore was the bane of my existence.))"

Carnivore did get banned for botting the AH, so that might be why they were the bane of your existence.

Ellipoo is just annoying and sus as most of their interactions are with or related to fellow sus person Mahogi.

Gems

Why are gems so expensive again? They were just under 1000 and are rising to 1050 now. wtf?

Re: Gems

(Anonymous) 2022-03-21 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Aberration breed changes were released for treasure, which dropped the price of gems - the initial rush for Aberrations is dying down, so gem prices are rising again. I think that's all there is to it!

100% agreed, it's a convenience fee. there's no like, moral obligation for people to sell it at cost lmao but some people seem to moralize it anyway.

Re: Gems

(Anonymous) 2022-03-21 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Also...the sheer amount of Aberration skins and accents, a lot of which are probably coming out of the queue by now, would bump the rate up, i'm assuming.

+1 to this, though im also willing to bet nvp also didn’t help; i know i personally have a ton of t on hand from sending to the pb/private & ah mercing where treasure seemed to be the more lucrative option

So you're saying it's not a bad time to sell a few gems for treasure again?

Dragon "capitalism"

(Anonymous) 2022-03-21 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
People talk all the time about dragon capitalism but technically it doesn't make sense. Capital doesn't exist in this game. Nobody owns the means of production. Technically you can get hired in this game but I feel like the pay is not very good so idk why people do it.

Re: Dragon "capitalism"

(Anonymous) 2022-03-21 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
capitalism is one of those words that has become overused to just mean unethical (according to the person using the word) practices regarding currency, labor, economies, business, etc. etc.

also even if you get hired in this game, you don't own the means of production (like the cauldron or coli venues). i mean i guess you "own" your own cauldron but it doesn't grant you any power over others since everyone else also has one.

I blocked someone who put "I don't use vistas" in their signature.

We can see that you don't use vistas because you're NOT USING ONE, you fucking idiot. what was the point of that? Trying to point out how special you are or something? lol

How much money have you spent on FR?

For me $10

Re: How much money have you spent on FR?

Way more than i ever wanted to, but nowhere near as much as i ever spent on Neopets, so in the long run i'm okay with it, lol.

Re: Most annoying undercutters on the AH?

Apparently they have me blocked. I'm barely even active on FR, haven't been in a long time, and the only thing I ever use the AH for is buying not selling lmao.

Jokes on you, anon, skin makers have the means of producing skins

$5 as a lil birthday gift to myself before I learned easier ways to make gems

To be fair, since I block certain vistas (the black widow one) I can't see that they aren't using vistas :P /s

(but yeah, who cares if you don't use a vista. I mean, do they get people going 'why don't you use a vista!!!!?' all the time?)

Re: Dragon "capitalism"

(Anonymous) 2022-03-22 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes but they get the profits they make so they're (mostly) not alienated from their labor. If anything FR owns the means of skin production

I'm using the 133 STR trainer with Haste, and I can see what you mean, every battle is high-stakes and you need to reload often to dump VIT points on your fodder to get anywhere leveling them up, unless you are ridiculously lucky.

Is Flight Rising unusually slow for anyone else?

(Anonymous) 2022-03-22 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
The internet feels wonky today, some websites load just fine, but others are slow on-and-off. Only FR seems to be so consistently slow today, though.

Re: Gems

(Anonymous) 2022-03-22 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
There's like one or two persons in the forums trying to keep the prices at 1:1000, though, so it might be tough to sell for higher than that if they are online.
