hey anon, i'm sorry that this happened to you. i know how you feel. when i first started there was always a bunch of users who always seem to be "up there" and it felt that no matter how hard you worked in the game, or how rich you finally felt, there was going to be someone who chimed in and would proceed to just flaunt, and in general take all the attention away from you. it was so frustrating that i also considered quitting the game.
i realised a short while after that there was always going to be people attention seeking on others' threads, because that sounded like a great idea to them. i set personal goals for myself and enjoyed the process to whatever i wanted to work for, and it felt so much better when you get something that you judge yourself to be really valuable. try not to frequent places like FRD because it seems most of these attention-seeking fellas hawk that place.
the great thing about FR is that anything can be a playstyle, as long as you're having fun. it's true that comparisons are always bound to happen, but if it starts bothering you, or others are really bothering you, you've gotta fight it off. i hope it doesn't sound like i'm dictating your playstyle, but i do hope you keep playing and find the sense of fun just chilling with some pixel dragons you love.
