And yet multiple people on the gossip/bitching site had an issue with your comment in particular.
Anon you replied to -
Exactly. This is not an actual screenreader use, it's just trolling and dragging in screenreaders into it (probably because AnpuRa saw the post about screen reader accessibility), because they certainly aren't acting like they actually use one. Knowing which screen reader you're using is about as basic as knowing what OS you have, and they failed to describe a method of usage they would have learned if they actually needed it.

i wish i did, but it's a core memory at this point. it's been some years since that happened, so fuck believing the forum search would be useful, but if i find it, i'll reply to this post with it.

To be clear, I can't 100% say this is an alt, but I've made an imgur album of my interaction with them that made me incredibly suspicious that they are. Also I didn't remember exactly what happened correctly, I was able to send the dragons straight back to alu because they did unblock me at the end of this. To give some context I had hatched the nest and when I went to send the dragons back I saw I was blocked, and not knowing what to even begin to do I shoved them into my hibden as a later problem. At some point later, can't remember exactly, I received the first message from this person. I also immediately called them an alt because their lair was (and is) made entirely of dragons with "Owner: Alu140" in the bio, save for the accounts progens.
Also for the last two message I think I had decided that I didn't care enough to drag out the interaction more than I needed to, but why my words were complete nonsense other than asking to be unblocked so I could send the dragons back I have no idea. (I hope imgur didn't mess up the order but they have time stamps so it should still be followable)

While I'm pretty sure its an alt I will admit that it is indeed possible that that they are truly a separate person that is friends with alu. Very odd interaction either way, definitely will never rent a nest for them again.

round 2, which artist is this one plagiarizing? the orchid mantis also looks super familiar, but its a more common trope so harder to draw a concrete line to

I wouldn't have given the dragons back lol. It's no longer my problem if you block all interaction on site with no warning.
I agree they seem like an alt. Why else would you pretend to be an unrelated stranger in the first message, then switch the story to a friend after being called out?

I do not mean to come across as rude, text is hard to convey feelings through so apologies for that, but you genuinely come across as upset over... What really is just a nothing burger in a video game, so it wasn't meant as a rude gesture.
I am well aware others care about imps, hence why even if I myself don't care I do understand the frustration of them being unavailable, which you decided to cherry pick the first part of a full sentence, which frankly feels as a very disingenuine thing to do.
Imps are a popular breed for various reasons so having them locked away is to me a silly decision, but ultimately why I don't care for them. Doesn't take away from the fact they are still a modern and one of Lights two moderns and even if not available as G1 to the vast majority doesn't take away from that fact nor the fact they are available as G2+. Again the issue on imps is delicate but you do still come across as very whiny and entitled to it, I disagree with staffs decision to lock a whole breed away but it is what it is and end of the day Light was still the only flight from literal day 1 to have two breeds available, so I won't say Light is getting shafted over that.
The retcon with ancients is more shafting Light imo due to the established imp lore with them as the Lightweaver's first children so, I guess we disagree.
On the WC cycling, I just wish they'd maybe do half year or 3-month cycling between both Coatl and WC breedchanges, wouldn't change the economy too much as we'd know when they come back now, unlike before when it could be a whole year before they came back, which sucks.

That is hilarious. I'm not the biggest fan of mousemod, but I do love the energy of coming at a bigoted comment with an example from the 14th century and going "that will be plenty out of you, thanks!" And during Pride Month no less! We love to see it.
People could probably do a better detective job than me, but with that new design its very likely the centaur top half inspired by XXXVeil's art, I mean, they are even mentioned in the first post. Although I don't think they aren't referencing a particular character/art piece of Veil's, they use a lot of design bits that are very common to Veil's centaur designs.
The bottom half is very likely based off this ( https://pinterest.com/pin/537476536794097060/ ). The art is by Eefoj, although when I checked their socials I couldn't find the specific piece (Hence the pintrest link)
I'm uncertain if the mantis is heavily copied from something. My best guess is it could be based of from this art by Ruteko, but I dont think thats the case ( https://x.com/ruko220/status/1541199283801948160?t=qvk1MujVcs2-nA0s0hVOIQ )

It's kind of like cosplaying as being rich. Sure, you can't sell a progen. But there are few ways to tell from the outside that it is, so you can dress it up and parade it around and claim you tooootally hatched a triple, and you could sell it any time, you just don't want to because look how pretty it is! How rare! Other people will be so jealous!
And not many people are going to do a dragon search filtering for progens with those colors and name to double check when it's not being advertised for sale, only shown off.

I kind of agree. FR is a free to play browser game, it's not going to have the same draw as some other MMO. It's nice that you can participate in the event by doing regular tasks, in case that's all you can do. Helldivers functions similarly as far as community events go: you play the game normally and the number go up and you get reward if number reach goal; however you usually have to have a few hours time to dedicate to it (and have to have spent actual monies on it... and be actually good at it). But it still feels like a community effort, it's that feeling of knowing every one is working together that's fun- even if it's nominally superficial.
I remember the glory days of gaia and... I don't think FR has that kind of capability. Gaia was writing new events every major holiday. Gaia did a shitty 3d animated movie one year. Gaia did a lot of stuff... but FR doesn't quite have the team nor the playerbase for those kinds of big events. Also many of those events you were SOL on rewards if you missed even 1 day of it. One year the halloween event was literally only ON halloween, I remember having to scramble to get the goodies before going out ToTing myself. IF the site was even functional then- there servers were often swamped and the lag made events unplayable for many people not unlike the early or big release days for FR.
FR wants to make sure it's players all have a reasonable chance to participate and that's nice.
Also as a side note: raids suck ass and never should have been a thing introduced to the mmo playstyle. They are not fun, I hate them.

I remembered this as well, couldn't find it, and then the other person posted, so I thought I was wrong as well.
BUT, I then remembered SMR:
https://saltminerising.tumblr.com/post/653495133128540160/i-feel-like-i-just-had-a-fever-dream-okay-so#notes
I had thought that maybe Aeq had deleted it, and in that SMR post, it says that all three were gone shortly after, and sadly wayback machine doesn't have those pages.
So, this is all the evidence we have that it actually happened.

AYRT YES THANK YOU SO MUCH. I had searched EVERY FORUM THREAD they were in to find this, searched DRR, but wasn't about to slog through SMRs even if I was held at gunpoint. you are a HERO
Hey... I'm a wow raider. They're awesome.
But seriously, I do get they aren't everyone's cup of tea. Besides, FR is my casual game. I want casual events. Not another job.
For a game like FR, this is my ideal event.

if i had to guess, the design was posted to eefoj's twitter which is now deactivated. seems like this person harvested a bunch of designs from twitter to copy off of. gross.
calm yourself. you can't convince anyone you're being normal about this when you have to respond to people who think you're being over the top or disagree with you in the way that you are.
i really get so tired of this discussion. it sucks to suck. you missed out, just like 90% of the playerbase. things are very unlikely to change. it's time to get over it and move on. if things do happen to change, yay for everyone! but don't count on it.
allowing yourself to be angry about this every time someone dares to bring up that FR is very customization friendly when it comes to the pets (with one exception) is a waste of energy

You're welcome.
It was actually surprisingly easy to find it on SMR and could have been easier (searched for 'A from Arcane' and it was like the second page, and I could have probably searched for AR from Arcane and found it easier)
SMR is actually where I saw it, because I don't think I saw it on the site itself (according to the SMR post, it was deleted soon afterwards, and I don't read the announcement threads). Fortunately I remembered and thought to search there.

Lowkey funny to see them ask to not be brought back into the conversation, as if they aren't a majority of it. If you don't want to be part of a conversation then stop talking, you literally don't have to keep writing essays it's that fucking easy. These are the sorts of people in suggestion threads that are so annoying.
They might as well copy that one person from shadow (name slips my mind) who has "please don't ping in suggestion forums" in their signature

It's all right - I've been playing for long enough that worse has happened! Also I get the idea that Pinkerton literally recycles those items (?) and if that's true I made someone's day.
