As someone who has 30+ XXYs:


Fuck em. If you've got the funds, collect your favs.

Other people are gonna bitch that your collection is boring and "I only like INTERESTING XYZ G1's *fart noise*" so you can't win.

YOU DO YOU.

this, there will always be haters especially since these are technically "finite resources" some people think you have to play considerately but you really don't

just take it on the shoulder and keep collecting

Unless you're the sky/aqua person who threw a fit, pressured people, and was a nuisance in discords and on the Tumblr blog, feel no shame. I love seeing people devoted to collecting specific combos.

no im not them! my personal flavor of financial burden is double sapphires
i dont THINK ive been a cockhead to anyone about it-

I collect doubles, too, and I try not to be a dick about it, but I have had like one or two people get snippy with me when I've won an auction.

"SOMEDAY I'll have a double of this color"

Okay???? Guilt tripping won't make me retract my bid. Get more gems, honey.

ive gotten that too, it makes me feel INCREDIBLY bad when people get guilt trippy
the last post i saw about me was "can the sapphire guy save some for the rest of us" and it made me feel SO bad. another post said i was a snob for having over 35 of them. i keep having to tell myself its not my fault theyre mad about it. i check the AH 4 times a day to see new ones being posted and I put in the effort to send PMs and make deals or just straight up buy them off the AH if its a price i know is fair
i just like the color :( i dont want anyone to feel bad but i also dont want to feel bad myself

Yep. I run a search for mine every few days, and if there's a new one hatched, I ask the person who hatched them if they're willing to sell, with a base offer (usually based on the price I paid for similar tert color ranges).

I've got 35+ so far. It's my fav color, and I don't let the guilt tripping get to me. I save my gems for them.

Some folks want Naomi dragons, some want oldies, some folks want KS stuff.

Me, I want my XXYs in my fav color, and if someone gets mad I outbid them, it ain't my problem.

wait so if you're checking 4x a day I'm guessing you're not buying ONLY G1s which makes the other complaints even dumber... if you want a G2+ of anything just breed it??

(Anonymous) 2023-07-27 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
OP

no, they're G1s exclusively that i buy. i check the AH 4 times a day to see if anyone has listed a new one haha

(Anonymous) 2023-07-26 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
If they want the colors so much, there are plenty of g2s out there. If they want a g1, they need to open up their wallet.

(Anonymous) 2023-07-26 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
if they wanted the dragons you have they could have bought them 🤷‍♂️ if you're just buying dragons you like enjoy them and fuck the haters. imagine shitting on someone for a collection they enjoy. so stupid.
