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.)

AITA if I sell dragons to my own flight in a Dom battle if I don’t care about Dom bonuses, and the in flight payouts/raffle are lower than the public buy? I have no interest in raffle prizes so I want to just make cash, but I’d rather support my own flight than the other flight. Otherwise I’d just sell to the opposite flight. WIBTA?

Kind of, because Dom funds are for communal use, so youd be taking some of the funds everyone raised for personal profit. also if attendants notice they won't accept from you and Dom orgs will instruct them not to accept from you.

YTA, however, most flights have programs for stuff like that to keep fodder from going outflight. Ask around your flight to see what programs exist.

Also, that's a great way to get the attendants you use to block you once caught to stop it, and most don't bother to clear sleazeball breaking the rules blocks.

YTA because profiting off your flight during a battle that your flight is involved with is not cool and most flights have programs to keep fodder in-flight during battles.

If you're in Light, the Sunburn during the battle will buy it off you.

Do you mean selling to trainers directly? Or selling to the public buy? If you just want to sell fodder to trainers for an agreed upon price, go for it, or drop them into the flight AH. If you’re sending to the PB, then yeah, YTA. You will get a chance to sell them at a high price the next time a battle happens, or even for the next conquest.

I see your point. But then I’d just send to the opposite flight PB for max profits. What should I do, then?

AYRT

Honestly? Sell to trainers, exalt them yourself, and deal with the fact that being part of a team means that this week you don’t make ALL the stonks. Everyone but water and ice got the opportunity to profit a few weeks back, so if you’re in Light or Arcane then you had a chance to make a lot of funds. That’s how dom works - every year or two you have to step back for a week.

guess I’ll just have to sell to the other flight then

YTA

I’m not sure why this makes me an asshole. Like I said, I don’t care for Dom bonuses or raffle prizes. It’s not my problem if people in my flight want to throw money away in a dom battle I won’t benefit from. I just want cold hard dragon cash. If I can’t support my own flight while doing so it seems the only other option is supporting the other flight.

DA
Why'd you ask if you're TA, then not read or think about the replies.
Someone already explained that you can be a teammate and sit one out and be content with lower profit, or get your maximum stonk and be considered TA by people that don't put profit first during battle their flight directly participates in, because they feel the currency used for your profit could've been used differently.

That's it.

You're the asshole because like it or not, you will benefit from the battle by getting at least second place bonuses and discounts that come with them.

Because you’re deliberately undermining the community you’re in. Like many other things, it’s not illegal/unallowed by site rules. But it does make you an asshole.

I'll be honest, you sound like an asshole now. Other people have told you the standard flights' solution, and you seem to refuse to look for that info or ask people because you want the easiest option.

Admittedly, starting to suspect you're from arcane at this point because I think light would have systems for this.

Regardless, if you won't take a loss and won't put out effort, send to your flight's public buy until they block you. Odds are if you change your targets and do it when it's busy, the pb attendants won't all block you. Just make sure to stay away from the OOF raffle where they record.

And before anyone bitches at me, I'm only saying this because it's less shitty then selling out flight while enjoying the benefits.

DA

Starting to think that you’re the asshole in here. OP is not obligated to participate directly in a battle they’re not interested in just because they happen to be in a specific flight who is participating. Your regular flight member probably have very little say in whatever battle the flight is going into, save for a small poll or so. Selling to the other flight’s PB or just changing flights is a valid choice and any flight that guilt-trips you about that is not a flight worth staying in. You can’t expect your regular flight member to bust their ass out for the flight during the battle and then not offer some sort of incentive that they actually care about. It also seems like OP is not participating in the IFR since they don’t care so they don’t actually benefit all that much from the flight directly, save for 1st-2nd place dom for the week, which honestly isn’t much.

That said, selling directly to your own flight’s OOF PB without switching is the only asshole thing here since that’s explicitly against the rules and give all the attendants an additional problem to worry about. Literally no idea why’d you think that’s apparently less shitty than ‘selling out’ when flight loyalty is such a flimsy concept. What do you think happens to people who aren’t happy with dom/community/etc. in their current flight? They switch. Are they shitty for doing that now?

When you switch, you no longer get the benefit of other users working to win from the flight you leave. Therefore, there's nothing wrong with that. Honestly, he should just do that if he wants to profit here.

why should they leave just because they don't want to participate in one dom battle? maybe they like the aesthetics or the lore or maybe they just plain don't feel like leaving.

I do agree that's the best option if they want profit and to support their own flight at the same time since that's the only way OP can adhere to OOF PB rules. However, if they're not opposed to selling to the opponent flight anyway, I don't think not switching makes them an asshole either. Again, they are never obligated to contribute to their own flight's battle and they're not taking anything away from anyone with those dom bonuses that got pushed onto them that they apparently don't even care about. Otherwise by your logic, anyone who doesn't care about dom in a battling flight and sell fodder on realm-wide is also an asshole which doesn't make sense since these people aren't necessarily benefiting from the flight community or even willfully engaging in it.

Unless they obtained that fodder through flight funds at a discount meant to go towards their own flight or anything similar, they do not owe their flight (or any flight for that matter) their fodder just because they have a specific flight flag under their profile. Plenty of people send their fodder to opposing flights during a battle for badges/foddart etc. and I'd never consider them as assholes even if they're in my flight. The opposing flight got their attention and dragons fair and square with incentives they care about. It seems like OP's main motivation is dragon cash, which is fair and the same logic applies here. I think people seem to forget that it's literally the dom team's job to incentivize in-flight exalts during a battle and that in-flight people don't owe them that - guilt-tripping these people as if they owe them fodder during a battle is counterproductive and pretty toxic IMO, plus it sweeps the dom team's incompetence under the rug.

Chnage flight for max profit 🤭

Most public buys are out-of-flight only, and it’s officially against the rules to send to your own flight. Most attendants don’t immediately check, but you will probably be denied if anybody notices. Your flight’s AH or the realm-wide AH might be better, and less directly AH-ish, IMO.

I'm getting deja vu. We had someone in our flight who made a huge bratty stink about not being allowed to do this sort of thing. Right down to the same kind of arguments.

The consensus from that argument was they were the asshole.
