Figured I'd make a thread just for it, see how it goes.
oh my god I thought there would be a confirmation button or something. I wasn't actually intending to post it sorry
I'm high af rn so I am actually laughing my ass off at this, you're okay lololol
is this one of the few times we can break ruke 8 and say "high mindlessmod"?
Found while browsing g1 double hatchlings https://www1.flightrising.com/clan-profile/708565
*Joined a few days ago and asked for guides, say they only have general knowledge
*Same day bid 30kg on an XXY obsidian, and express interest on a 2 letter imperial
*Hatched a bunch of eggs and priced the hatchlings decently with no price check thread or anything
*Chickensmoothie looks like it was a shell until very recently based on forum activity
wondering if these are burners for cross site scamming like staff described with the rule update?

Definitely looks like some kind of funneling alt or where rmt is going on. If there is nothing on the chicken smoothie account especially, consider it sus.
They’re now up to 60kg… I know this is gonna be an immensely unpopular opinion, but I really wish FR would put more limits on cross-site trading (or stop it altogether).
I feel like in the last year, there’s been a handful of users allegedly migrating immense amounts of currency from CS to FR, and every time it results in tons of drama and/or accounts being locked. It really doesn’t seem like there’s a great way to monitor this, despite some of the recent changes they’ve made

I'm starting to hold the same opinion because it's too easy for rule breakers to fake cross site trades or fib about them to skirt around TOS. A verification system for trades may be possible, but I would think that would be very taxing on staff resources and not worth their time, especially when monitoring frequent and small trades.
There's also the drawbacks that it causes for other, less popular sites. Take lorwolf for example, and how many players used their entire investment in that site for the purpose of cross site trading and flip selling. It ended up at least partially affecting the reputation and success of that game.

>It ended up at least partially affecting the reputation and success of that game.
no it did not lol
All of Lorwolf's issues are either caused or exasperated by their own failures and refusal to fix things.
I know a lot of people in this community and SMR disagree, but cross site trading has huge benefits for smaller games. It gets FR users who may have never heard of the game potentially into it, it stimulates the economy of the smaller game (if they actually have a good game loop/economy), and in general more people are playing the smaller game as a result. Also in many cases it's financially beneficial for FR.
I don't know how to solve for the shady people that take advantage. But I know a lot of FR users that were able to achieve FR dreams otherwise impossible or extremely difficult, because of cross site trading. Honestly I think a very large majority of cross site trades are genuine and not trying anything, it's just the shady ones are really obvious and stand out.

some people on this site use the word “clique” to refer to what others might describe as “having friends”
i feel like i constantly see complaints of discord servers for “cliquey behavior” when theres no intentional exclusion or gossip going on. just people being friends and sharing jokes. leaving any server where people make friends is a self fulfilling prophecy dude!!! join in some conversations!!! youll become a “regular” eventually. its scary but its worth it. feels like the attitude is rooted in social anxiety which is understandable but you cant make that other peoples problem by bitching about it publicly.
so many fr servers nowadays are revolving doors of people who just post for a bit and leave. no room to talk about anything other than fr or make new connections. it feels so stale. bring back cliquey

Da
This is true, although there also for sure is Cliquey TM behavior in certain servers. And i can 100% see how it would come across as exclusionary if someone weren't part of that group of uber popular people (which happen to be faves of the rest of the server as well) and also how just a group of regular friendly people who talk all the time to each other could possibly be misconstrued as a clique. I've been a part of a bunch of servers for many years and yet i am not now nor would i ever be considered part of the inner circle or clique, due to a variety of reasons. I don't really mind tbh since i don't want to be. Tbqh i feel like cliques are so middle school and in general frown upon them but you can't help it if they form, you can only hope they're the nicer variation and not the Mean Girls kind.

the account they got most of the big cs pets from, teddy, is cross if that helps at all
i've always wondered how the CS economy works, i have an old (2008) acct but don't know what to sell for gems or what the market is. despite looking around a bit it just seems hard to get things sold, so seeing newbies with immense stacks of gems from cs is so suspect to me. who is buying ?
similar behavior with ab'ing valuable greyscales...
Just autobought a 100kg dragon. With an account days old.
99% certain this is cross.
- minimalist lair with only monochrome ‘permas’
- instant exalt ‘bad’ hatchlings from eggs
- sought after 2Ls before the devs banned his original account
- the cs thing op mentioned
- named his progen, Perses, after ‘himself’ —- his name is almost exact to that
- spending 100kg+ impulsively
more to see but these are too many coincidences. SUS. i blocked in case it gets weird. i do not trust

i just watched him hatch/exalt a ton of eggs in real time too. instantly listed any decent ones for reasonable prices, instantly exalted anything bad. i watched cross hatch eggs once before, same method.
