I may be stupid but if we (royal we) know that HM is a troll, why do we bother entertaining a discussion with them? Someone brought up that maybe KiteM is a contrarian ARR regular, but I know Colormancy is also one. I guess I am just asking, if ppl knew HM wanted a fight, why did they dignify that off-topic with a response? The thread is on page 5 now and I think that if everyone just ignored HM the thread wouldn’t go off-the-rails
Trolling implies that they're doing it out of insincere belief just to get a rise out of people. They're not a troll. They sincerely believe that they're right. They're just stupid.
I don't think people usually engage with them though, this one was just the straw that broke the camel's back.

Id argue the first couple responses were fine and justified (pointing out that HMs opinion is largely useless because they do this all the time seems helpful, in case somebody thought about taking them seriously), but continuing to reply after the double-down is just a waste of time. Theyre clearly a dumbass thats jealous of ppls good hatches/the fact that people can make gems without spending rlc.
Yea. A few posts to confirm that they're clueless and leave it until the next shit take. Hope they cross the line to rule breaking.
Honestly talking about gems being worthless is hedging on spam territory already considering the original thread topic so. If this is consistent behavior then that's at least consistent spamming.
Are you sure these are the same people? I believe both of these are fine.
Also if people are messaging others about that or making threads I think it should be pointed out to mods the same as someone calling out people for doing what they want with dragons that were paid for.

What flights have a more adult community like Earth? I like Earth's community but I've been thinking of switching for a good while now and I'd like a flight that has that same sort of vibe. I've heard Lightning might be a candidate? Just not particularly big on their aesthetic. Dig Fire's aesthetic but I've also heard they don't really have much of a community? And zero dom presence whatsoever
The word "cringe" has been completely bastardized but that? That shit's cringe
Whether or not it's the same people I can't know for sure but I feel like that's besides the point when everyone and their mom will rush to tell you that you're wrong if you complain about a dragon you sold getting exalted, or named something that you don't like, etc. Meanwhile if you complain about flipping, it's pretty easy to get people to agree with you that it's rude and bad, even though reselling a dragon you bought for higher objectively falls under "your dragon your decision" rule.
I used to flip fodder off realm-wide AH for years and stopped because I was getting blocked by people who I can only assume expected me to exalt the fodder and got mad when they decided to stalk me and find that I was reselling them instead.
And yeah it's reportable if it happens on site, such as with some of the messages I received, but majority of that discussion is off site as you can imagine, or they just silently block you which is fine but also a bit stupid if done by someone who sells fodder

personally i don't really get why it matters. if it happens on site you can report it. if it happens on smr/tumblr you can just ignore it.
i doubt you'll get blocked by so many people that it will actually impact your gameplay. so many people flip fodder/g1s/etc

i understand completely. my stomach gets angry at most things, but somehow, red 40 doesn't. i rarely eat anything that has it, but sometimes i get The Hankerin' for something with it and i count my lucky stars that it doesn't fuck me up.
i do agree it's way easier to get stuff without red 40 in it, though, and that's what stops me from craving it so bad. plus, japanese gummies have a texture that's just so much better than american stuff since they don't load them up with so much gelatin.

lightning is mostly adults ime, super chill. one of the lair banners is earth-adjacent too if you switch and start feeling homesick
DA
Do you know how the discord is? I joined Lightning a bit ago but haven't hopped in there yet.

Yea that's fair. I've ignored it for years anyway and reported/blocked when necessary.
I just find the constant prominence of this weirdly entitled behaviour specifically in the FR community kinda ridiculous. Suppose same could be said for people who cry about dragons being exalted, but they usually always get the unanimous response of "hey you should probably realize that you're the one in the wrong here", while you'd be hard pressed to find more than only a handful of players at a time (if you're lucky) willing to openly defend flipping against someone who is mad about it. They'd much rather join in on the slander. Not that I think the community needs a horde of knights to defend flipping or anything. More so I just wish that it was accepted like exalting, because it's a very good way to make money if you're the busy type but if you decide to start doing it, it's only a matter of time before someone harasses you over it.
For the record, having switched to breeding fodder and sniping it just to exalt the past few years, I'm yet to receive a PM telling me I suck for exalting. I know people got their stories of newbies dropping into their PMs to demand why they exalted something but it's just not nearly as common

I love lightning lore and the aesthetic so I'll be a spark for life probably. I can attest tho that I am probably the main demographic of the flight because I logged in last month, did some breeding, did some exalting, splurged some cash, but now im inactive again and my dragons are starving.
I'm convinced we have a good dom record because our activity is shit but we will log in for dom.
We're well organized and have some dedicated dom and community peeps. I lurk in the lightning discords (theres a public one and a flight only one) but I havent used them in literal years. I'd say move here for the vibe and dom. I don't know about the community but I rarely see drama.

I respect the effort to put so many jokes in one screenshot!
Shocked this didn't appear in any of the drama forums considering they misinterpreted ThistleProse asking for the EY to become a toggle like the sil scrolls, told them to delete the thread because they were "misleading people", and then deleted all their comments after both OP and another user explained again what the suggestion was about.

Nah, Fire does have a community! Just no dom ^^;
SA
i like the discord, it's not set up very fancy (there's like 2 custom emojis lol) but the activity levels are the sweet spot where it's active but not overwhelming. people are generally supportive and will answer quickly though if you have questions or share dragons. the dominance teams (VOLT) also have a discord that's very active with its own events, if you're really interested in dominance i'd highly recommend checking that program out. no complaints about the community in either!

It probably didn't get picked up because of the dirty delete. If it were another user some people might feel compelled to talk about it, but weird aggressive responses are common on PvP and especially from this user so there's nothing interesting to gain from digging. Osterderm edited their shade throwing post as well so even less attention has been drawn to it.
TLDR: Hungryhobbits is confrontational. In other news, water is wet and today is a day ending in "Y."
