A screenshot was publicly posted, so I don't doubt that one as much. Booleano must have been investigated when Feet got banned. But one of Shian's biggest customers, who can't be named on ARR, bought a really expensive dragon shortly after Willow changed hands if I recall. I think Shian sells dragons her buyers want, then sells the rest for gems and sells those off. Which is awful for the people who legitimately buy from her and get involved.
As for why Shian would sell a money printer, I think it's because the Naomi community would kill her for breeding again, so Willow was worthless to her. A new owner isn't bound by her promises. Also, with the heat on her rising when she sold her other G1 imp last year, she probably wanted to liquidate and get what she could.
Re: Shian #13256 RMT for Flightrising and Chickensmoothie.
She already had a schedule to breed Willow yearly, much like Booleano now, and Naomi community had no issues with it from the looks of it. https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/drs/2875545
Where is the 'would kill her' coming from?
Re: Shian #13256 RMT for Flightrising and Chickensmoothie.
My mistake on that, then. I read on Shian's old Willow thread that people were upset with her for continuing to breed, and an earlier message said she said she would stop, so I thought she was backed into a corner. My mistake there, I thought she was done breeding. Thinking the community would kill her over going back on her word was due to the community being insane, which I largely saw on SMR, when they targeted someone for not believing in the false progens and got outed for being a squad of bullies. That's how I arrived there, but if I had some incorrect information my assumption is entirely wrong.
That being said, my guess now is Shian didn't want to deal with the Naomi community because they're a bunch of entitled children.
Re: Shian #13256 RMT for Flightrising and Chickensmoothie.
anon who first said Shian stopped breeding Willow - I should've added the phrase "with some exceptions."
I knew Shian had written a long explanation about what she'd do with Willow (as far as breeding and such), but I didn't feel like looking up the "receipts" so I didn't want to get too specific lol. That's my bad - thank you for coming through with the link.
Seems like Shian was a bit bullied into even having to write such an explainer in the first place, and I do feel bad for her honestly. It must be an insane amount of pressure knowing how many people are invested in what you do with your dragon like that. So many voices chiming in: "Breeding Willow devalues her existing offspring, previously thought to be exclusive!" / "Not breeding her is unfair to all the people who want to participate in the hype, but don't have FR riches!" That surge of input is probably what the other person was talking about as far as "getting killed" over dragon decisions. No wonder she ended up selling Willow !
