I don't know what other petsites you're talking from aside from neopets I guess since it's been mentioned to me several times now. I've heard a lot of horror stories about neopets economy. Maybe they need these rules idk. But there is a reason I don't play that game.
Inserting herself into these discussions is of course not wise on her behalf but I do want to point out that whenever anyone at all goes like "omg light sprite prices are so high??" on the forums or in salt spaces, at least one person will drop in and respond with "well that's because one user in the past inflated the price on purpose!! so evil am I right they should be banned for that", so it's not like people are letting go. It seems like the more it spreads, the more the community latches on to it. Elisabluh responding to it isn't helping, but it's practically considered a part of FR history at this point and is talked about like a campfire horror story. Nevermind the fact that this is a real person in real life, not just some lightsprites boogeyman.
I'm sorry but I also have to ask, are you Elisabluh???? Yes... people post that one specific user caused the price inflation because.... that's what happened. And it spreads because the problem still persists... Do you want people to idk, ignore what's happening and not talk about it? I really can't understand your goal here if you're not Elisabluh or a friend of her's.
nope I am not, I do not even know her nor do I intend to. And to be clear, I don't think it's bad to mention the fact that it's her doing, in a Neutral Manner. However players tend to not stay neutral about it. Pretty much every time I see light sprite threads and this is brought up, at least one rando will get mad about it and say it should be bannable.
People ask for it to be bannable because it's a common rule on a lot of games with player economies. Not just with pet sims.
I think it's weird you keep acting like people being "emotional" about something is bad. People are allowed to have feelings, sometimes even strong feelings when someone is going out of their way to make an aspect of the game less fun, and actively rub it in that they're getting away with it.
It's weird you're acting so high and mighty as if you haven't been responding to everyone here and trying to defend someone like Elisabluh of all players.
if she didn't butt in, no one would know they mean her outside of drama blogs. she only got called out by name because she was trolling. people know better than to name her and she ain't worth losing an account over
If she didn't want to be part of FR history, she should have made smarter choices. It's that simple.
I'm not sure what you get out of coming here with a contrarian attitude to defend someone who you fundamentally disagree with in terms of keeping the sprites retired. Attention? Playing hero to act like some "sage voice of reason," who is somehow magically smarter about handling the situation than the people who've witnessed it unfold firsthand? Stop while you're ahead.
I can disagree with her and think her attitude is annoying while also understanding that this isn't some site-ending problem where staff needs to step in and start issuing bans. Disagreeing with someone and not liking them doesn't mean I have to also condemn them. But I guess this is the internet where we condemn people over inconsequential crap so you're right. I have better things to do with my monday
AYRT and I have never been closer to that confused math lady meme than I am in this moment. You're still at it? Who loaned you a shovel to keep digging yourself into a deeper hole? Good gracious.
