Spooky Spite

An important update:

Due to a specific person being a complete child, comments are going to be screened by default.

This is only temporary, and I apologize for the inconvenience- this is going to be a pain in the ass for me, too, but multiple people have come forward about fears of doxxing, and this is the only way to make sure any doxxing is contained.

(This basically will force the doxxer to make a DW account to post any doxxing attempts unscreened, and will let me more reliably report them to DW staff/authorities.)

Again, I apologize, and will be working to unscreen comments as fast as possible, but I'm only one person.

(Vasemod has had some personal issues come up, so I am the only mod atm. Please bear with me until this bit of annoyance has passed.)

I opened an account during the pandemic and it's been okay? Dailies are decent and doesn't need too much time to do each day. The new features like daily quests and the deflation going on right now definitely makes achieving your dream pets (or the big items like lab map) easier imo.

Also they recently teased a big plot event that's gonna happen next year too, but with how... interesting the faerie festival has been handled I'm not optimistic nothing will go wrong for that.

DA I think sharing of random dragons in threads is considered fine bc it's just people chatting as opposed to staff introducing a mechanism for people to more easily find other people's notable dragons, thereby condoning the playstyle.

Same. I always adblock them. I hate them so much.

Re: Reliability of pinglists

Yeah, this. While I use pinglists they’ve always been a workaround for features the site lacks. I’ve been really afraid to bring up how awkward the big pinglists are to use. They have etiquette that sometimes changes through the years and I’ve been abused by an irate player for not knowing about a specific rule in a list of things I thought I was having no trouble understanding. There was no moderation available for this player-made workaround so now one of my threads has this abuse publicly visible on it in the first page, forever.

I never want to mass ping ever again. I want FR to make player sales advertising, auction, raffle and distribution functionality integrated into the site so I don’t have to navigate an ever-changing player-made workaround that can’t moderate its users.

heartbreaking: the worst person you know is selling a dragon with a color combo you've been looking for for ages

Auctioneers and Aoi

(Anonymous) 2023-11-04 12:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Just me being annoyed and grumpy, but that's what the wank thread is for, right?

I'm on the G1 pinglist for a specific date, which usually isn't an issue. I also have AoiNoRyuu blocked, for a few reasons. It's a minor thing, but I've been pinged by people selling dragons for them a lot lately, because apparently they need to sell using 800 separate auctions and threads and did part of the mass hatch on the date I follow. They keep using different auctioneers, and since Aoi themself isn't making the posts, the auctioneer essentially gets around the block I have up for Aoi because I don't want to see their stuff. It's just getting on my nerves a good bit, I'm being cranky and blocking everyone who pings for Aoi.

I genuinely hope that making an in-house ping system means that FR is seriously trying to integrate more of these user-made workarounds into the game, but I'm worried still at how they sometimes just release chaos like this and underestimate how important some gameplay aspects are to people (like this time, players that drop a lot of irl cash at the site, UMA buyers).

Not only do they have a LOT of auctions run by diff people, but one of them has CLEARLY never run an auction of this magnitude- SnowLynx is running an auction for EIGHTY-ONE dragons, and they didn't even know what a snipe guard is. :/

Running 81 auctions in a post? That's how you get valuable dragons going for pennies because no one sane goes through that.

Re: Auctioneers and Aoi

(Anonymous) 2023-11-04 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Which is why, despite my dislike of Aoi and how they've handled this, I'm bidding on one of them, because I'm hoping to get it for a steal.

Poor SnowLynx tbh 💀
so many of those dragons should not have a SB of 1kg

DA
Side complaint: I went to check out that thread and boy do I hate how seemingly all auctioneers, not just SnowLynx, put the scries as the big image "advertisement" or whatever fuck they imagine it to be - it's not the dragon you are selling. Your "pretty" looks fucked up. Just show me the dragons you have.

That's what sells man. Besides for G1s you can't see the tert on the default picture, so if you're gonna add a gene so it's visible you might as well scry the whole thing. As long as theres a link to the dragon so you can scry for yourself it's not that big a deal.

the worst is auctions with accents, especially if they're not being sold with the dragon. my guy, I'm too impoverished to buy whatever fancy UMA you have, I just want pretty xyz G1s.

Seriously, double does not mean 1k gem prices. I have fodder rescued g1 doubles too often. And a lot of those are mediocre.

Re: Auctioneers and Aoi

(Anonymous) 2023-11-05 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I instantly back out of the thread if the scry is the main image of an ungened G1 that gets auctioned. It is borderline scammy and really unprofessional!

God damn people stop with that stupid shit, what you are selling actually is the focal point not some maybe-existing in the future dragon!

do you think fast food advertisements are borderline scammy too

they used to be CoyoteWest/Kayenta—for those who don't know, they harassed people offsite about their g1 imps and triples/other valuable dragons and also scammed and lowballed people. they were talked about a lot on DR/AR so a search should be able to bring details up.

also, while i was trying to make sure that's who they are, i found this thread where (from reading the replies) they posted in the fucking forums asking if staff would reveal a user's personal info so they could contact them. lmao. https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/help/2235993

same and same. I think it had something to do with their attitude re: g1 sales and pricing, which is extremely rigid. yes, pricing is subjective yadda yadda but if you're basically telling people to fuck themselves for making a reasonable, albeit slightly lower offer on something you're selling..... how bad do you really want to sell that thing?

I love scrolling through images of plain Nocturnes too. It really helps me as a prospective buyer to understand their full potential.

Does anyone know why they got banned? Seems they've been gone for almost a month now.
