Wow I actually hugely regret going and looking at my old clan profiles/broadcast messages like this. I knowwwww I was a teenager so of course I was cringe but I was THIS cringe??? Why I didn't get publicly executed I don't know.
But also its kinda funny, if any of you have been around on FR for a long ass time go take a long at some old captures on the wayback machine if you can, it's kinda fun seeing what your profile used to be like.

Sameanon. To add context, I remember the LuckilyTime account getting a triple goldenrod WC from Isidoro with no public sale history, so I investigated a little bit to try and figure out what price it sold for. The Isidoro account I think was created around the same time as this Elderkin account and both of them have the same blank account friend, some HyungCity.
If it makes you feel any better, my profile has been captured 88 times.
(And I actually don't get involved much in the forums etc on FR- like Vasemod said, it's mostly crawlers.)

How is it allowed that they can basically take a triple white dragon, apply genes to them and then just layer colors over it AND sell it as a skin? Is that not against the site rules to just take gene site art and profit from it???
Aside from that the skins are butt ugly.

Those aren't even the worst ones tbh, check out the coatl H set that are literally just a fade/blend/glimmer scry half-erased. And I have no idea how I've had accents rejected for "too much texture" for using a watercolor edge but these weird rainbow lines fly.
But you know what? If people are buying them, people are buying them. I respect the hustle. Like I find them disorienting to look at and ugly as sin but clearly there's some kind of market because they've been doing it for years now. Power to them.

I mean, the skins do look ugly to me, and I wouldn't want them, but they aren't just taking gene site art and profiting from it.
DA
Important to note that the LuckilyTime account has a lot of dragons from Rosewing and Menyce who were notorious for scamming newbies during banescale release, the triple tomato is from Menyce.
They also seem to have some G1s from Piscine/user 310031 so something more to bear in mind on that account.

Probably is a RMT or botter network trying to mess with those players then. Rosewing and Menace I think were serial multis so it's not impossible that this is their extended account network.
I feel like I remember Luckilytime or another one of their accounts mass buying dragons from a third user who was causing mild trouble at one point. I could be thinking of someone else though.

This is why I always send stuff like that as 1t PAs. Removes the item from your inventory when you list it, unlike CRs which will probably never have this issue fixed. PMs are also an option.
as ugly as they are, these don't break rules for using FR genes as a base. no rules strictly say that you can't use FR genes in your skins, but they do say that you can't use outside copyrighted imagery/images like brand logos or patterns. since genes are FR's own copyright, you can do this. (see: rules 8 and 9)
this could be reported for rule 8 all the same, though, for overwhelming texture. it might get taken down, it might not.

Anon, this sounds nothing except petty for something you personally dislike.
They allowed and there was enough "fake underbelly" accents that the gasp pinglist has a category for it. I don't think staff cares about fake genes or people using their genes in accents.
I meant, it's easy money. Someone wants a veil with underbelly and branches, they apply branches and make a fake underbelly accent, and the site profits.

Also look like an image of his face has appeared in the anniversary event.

Some of those are literally just taking site art and profiting from it. Look at Half Luna and Half Sol.
The rest of them are super low effort as well. I, for one, do not respect the hustle.

Piscine is CoyoteWest/Peresalkia and whatever else they've been to avoid people knowing who they are.
Wouldn't surprise me if that's a funnel account for them.

if they really are lazy, valueless, and ugly as sin, nobody will buy them and the artist will lose thousands of gems from blueprints. if the skins are adding value and people want and like them, theyll buy them. if people actually want accents based on site art, someone has to make them. im no capitalist but i think the free market can sort this out
AYRT
yes, i am aware, and i'm especially aware that users have been doing it for over a decade. all i'm doing is reading from the rules and regurgitating them. unless you meant to reply to someone else, i'm not the one who needs to be told this.

I think you should reread the bottom paragraph of my comment. That was not me taking the piss, as that was genuine.
Cool that that's okay but that one Dusthide skin wasn't because the placement of the tongue on the tail was somehow "phallic" or whatever
Diety accounts are always active
*deity (last time I made that typo someone made fun of me)
Not sure why I didn't think about PMs, will definitely do that next time
More supporting that your statement is true/backing you up, considering the thread of ignorance. Chill.
not disagreeing with you, but I dislike undertides despite wanting an eel dragon because their wings really just dont fit to me and their fins come across as webbed fingers instead of fully aquatic fins
I used to do PMs but I did have the issue once where somebody who prepaid for a skin got their acc locked! Since it was just a 1t PA I cancelled it and held onto it until they returned on a new account. If it had been a PM, that item wouldve been lost forever and they wouldnt have gotten the item they paid for. I always do 1t PA now
