It does feel very much like spite-exalting in those cases. Blocked them a while ago, but it was the same deal with Supremacy/Eviscerate/whatever oddly aggressive word-name they're using nowadays. Constantly new sales threads with the same G1s at slightly lowered but still exorbitant prices, always with the weird guilt-trippy tone, rejection of reasonable offers, and ~ looming threat of exaltation ~ mixed into the threads. It's a yucky, gatekeepy "exclusive club" approach to G1 collecting that ends up giving the whole G1 community a bad name, and discourages other players from participating. "If you won't pay out the nose for this dragon, then NO ONE can have it! Bahahaha!" Like, are you trying to engage in a hobby you enjoy, or are you more interested in creating your own virtual pet drama & mini-misery? Yikes. ... I'm just happy to be a Commenter on the drama rather than an active participant in the events, lmao.
ughhhh eviscerate is *the fucking worst* for the weird passive aggressive ~sales~ tactics. like, you've been threatening to exalt those g1s forever. just do it and shut up about it, jfc.
Eviscerate wouldn't have to be passive aggressive about sales to get gems if they weren't snapping up accents and reselling them for 4 times their sale price.
The four horsemen of the overpricing: UMAs. G1s. Old dragons. And Y1 retired items.
Always got someone tryna snap em up to hoard & overvalue. Isn't there a player who habitually buys up the available Light Sprites in a bid to control market price? Or am I just Making Up A Guy (TM)
light sprite's inflation is infernally stupid to me. going from 25kG -> 50kG in a year or two felt dramatic, but then hiking up to 100kG+? are people actually buying them at this point or are they just being unnecessarily inflated for use in cross-site/KS trades...? if youre saving up 150kG you might as well go for the actual prestige items and just get a scroll case or some other KS item
It's TwisterScribbles #79960, I had to check cause I got their ass blocked for when they were gloating about how they sold a Light Sprite for the artifically jacked up price over at SMR last year. (it was 90kg at the time, still a jackass move.)

(For note I blocked and moved on and never looked back at their lair.)
Theres actually another user who told me they do the same thing to keep making money from light sprites. I can't reveal their name cause they told me directly and I'd rather not have them coming after me lol, so believe me or not.
i normally really don't care about resellers,i think it's a valid play style. also nothing wrong with retired items being expensive, lights sprites have no business being over 75kg however
but i wish nothing but the worst on these light sprite resellers. it's genuine market manipulation and i cannot wait for one them to slip up and get banned somehow
