Please, I beg, they're NOT meant to be Aethers and Dusthides! Those are completely unrelated fan breeds osiem made in 2019 just to use an as example for tutorial on how to do draw Slime/Sludge and Wasp/Bee. Do you guys not know how to read lmao.

Waybackmachine profile captures

(Anonymous) 2024-06-12 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
So for funsies I looked up how many times my FR profile was captured, not expecting more than one or two--

46 captures

...lmao what? who is out here capturing my profile. LOL WHO ARE YOU.

It caught me off guard because I never got involved with drama and am very quiet on the forums and don't use discord.

NAYRT

Looking at the redesigns... yes. Not bad art, not bad creature design, but I am very glad these designs are NOT on FR. Veils are my favourite breed, if they looked like that I would yeet all of them lol

Most captures are just crawlers, benign, random and frankly nothing to worry about.
You can click the "About this capture" button for info about it Nonny if you're curious

You probably posted in a thread that had drama. It scrapes profiles when a page gets saved

I’m going to add on some more just for fun

-if you have an empty nest, there is a random chance that two compatible dragons in your lair may choose to have a spontaneous clutch. Too bad for G1 collectors

-all dragons are baby by default and to get an adult dragon you have to buy an aging scroll. Hatchlings still cannot be in Coli

-the fairgrounds cap gets removed completely

Dragons in any player's account can hatch in only 176 out of 177 colors, the missing color is not shown anywhere, is assigned randomly and changes each week.

Someone on SMR sort of summed up my thoughts about the thread. I have only now just realized what was rubbing me the wrong way about it.

Instead of going 'hey, lets get dragons that look like this!' and showing off dragons based off of animals/creatures (or just showing art from around the internet that look like they want), they are redesigning existing dragons, and some of them are doing so in a way that is making it seem like the art itself is bad or how the FR Artist(s) conceptualized the dragon is wrong.

Like, sure a particular dragon that is based off of a particular creature could have had this particular feature, but that doesn't mean it *has* to (like the 'digging/burrowing creatures should have shovel noses' discussion).

I do understand the frustration when something is *almost* to your tastes but there are a couple of things you would do differently (I hate the feet of runes, I hate the face of filigree, and I hate the line across the legs of contour. Other than those, I love those particular genes). But, a lot of them are coming across, to me at least, as having an 'this dragon doesn't fit exactly what I want, therefore it is trash' attitude.

Seriously, agreed. Stop going "I fixed your dragon" and start going here is an interesting idea for a new dragon.

I don't think seeing a new rendition of a finished breed, including fathoms, really does anything. Also, calling it improved or better like some folks have is kind of rude.

basically untouched account from 2019 with no forum history/bio, naked/uncared for dragons, casually selling an unbred xxx g1? smells like shell/rmt to me

Huh. Especially strange to me is that the triple in question is 9 years old, so it couldn't have been hatched by the current owner. I mean it's always *possible* it and the other older dragons were just bought / gift from quitting friend / etc but "possible" doesn't mean it doesn't look pretty shady

in the same vein: certain dragons only being able to breed once a year

WHY WON'T THEY FIX THIS

So I hosted a giveaway where I gave away a bunch of familiars. Problem. FR does this ungodly thing where putting an item in a CR doesn't remove it from your inventory, LIKE IT SHOULD. So, even if you have multiple copies of the exact same item, if you accidentally include that ONE copy in more than one trade (very easy to do when you're giving away items en masse), once one of the people you gave that one copy accepts their CR, it'll tell the other person you tried to give that one copy to that you don't have it anymore, and they can't accept the trade. This has been an issue for FR for years and I reported it years ago and it's STILL A PROBLEM. WHY. IT MAKES HOSTING GIVEAWAYS SO MUCH MORE UNNECESSARILY DIFFICULT.

(op) my best guess is someone bought the dragon with RLC, had it sent to this shell account, and is selling it for pure as a gem-laundering scheme? they probably think it's safer this way than to buy gems outright

Staff probably don't know this happens. After Aeq asserting that dressing room on mobile works fine, just like desktop, before realizing there was bug that made it nearly unusable for years...

It doesn't give me much hope that anyone on staff is paying attention. They definitely don't play their own game, anyway.

Got me curious about my profile and unsurprisingly it had a lot back in like 2016-2018 when I was a dumb teenager who got too invested in drama and arguing with people because obviously I knew better. But since then there's basically only been about one capture a year since I've become less active in the game overall lmao

This is why I now send out PA's for skins that have already been paid for at 1t per :') I would consistently mix things up and accidentally send someone the same copy I sent someone else every single run. Doesn't help that when you're sending out skins you're dealing with a whole heap of entirely identical objects!!

Re: Fix This

Yeah like I said I did report it, this was 2 years ago, bug still exists. It would be such an easy fix too... just make putting something in a CR have it be removed from your inventory, problem solved.

Yeah that's somebody's multi. Think someone by the name of luckilytime is the main acct? I saw them randomly acquire a triple from another account before, might be the same for their second triple too I can't remember. I think they stuff shady funds in all these shell accounts.
