... Why would you make this thread? Is this person's life so shitty that they want to try to lord over people by guilt tripping them for wanting an item?
OP really said "If they do this I will start scalping to make back what I earned because it's not worth it to own it if everyone has one" and is now upset people read it that way.
That's what I've been wondering. What is the point of this thread?
That they are a braggart and had a negative experience with... A statement??? made by some users who didn't like that therefore ALL other users now are terrible and making awful assumptions about them??? And they needed to make a thread about it?
they should go to bed and get some sleep, clearly their illness is affecting their thought processes here.
They claimed to have responded to said person who wanted to spite them, why couldn't they just leave it at that and not make an entire thread seemingly looking for sympathy? I especially think they were farming for sympathy with what they said at the end of the initial post "I kind of expect to get a lot of hate for saying this, but oh well"
Kind of feels like they want to brag about getting these items and prove that people are out to get them. They even said they just finished their collection last month so idk just comes off very weird that they decided to make this post
"oh woe me i finished a collection of all these expensive items by my HARD AND HONEST WORK and all these SPITEFUL and JEALOUS players are desiring for my effort to be null"
They really do want to brag about how heavy their wallet is and get away with it don't they? I really really hope it's just 'cause they're sick and have weird sick/medicine brain going on.
I'm so weirded out by this bc I've seen them around in the Earth Discord (they aren't in Earth currently) and they seemed pretty chill. Since they mentioned being sick I thought they might just be sick ranting but doubling down on the whole 'people HATE me for being rich and successful' is so wild. They made a thread before this about how it took them 9 months to get all 11 sprites which I felt was lowkey humble bragging but it is impressive so whatever. Them posting this thread 2 weeks later is ??? Really does seem like they saw people arguing that sprites should be unretired and decided that was a personal attack on them.
First time seeing and posting in this forum place. Decided to look for a post regarding this to respond properly and with a clearer mind, and yeah, I did deserve to get shit on for that.
I'm Saethuryx, and I just kinda decided to get the sprites for my dragons (and for the hell of it) a while back. At some point last October or so, it kinda warped my mindset from something I was grinding for fun to an obsession that was actually unhealthy. So when I kept seeing the "re-releasing sprites and other retired items" sentiment and saw people who were very vocal about wanting them re-released, I misinterpreted that as a personal attack when it was literally just a case of people without the same level of time wanting a fair shot at them.
I did some thinking and found that I should've just let it go a long while ago, long before it got to this point. I ended up giving my sprites away so that I don't feel like I have any attachment to the issue anymore and to go back to what I actually play FR for. I don't expect that to somehow excuse what I said, but all I can do right now is say that I'm sorry about what I caused. I'm not going to be screwing with the market and I'm not going to assume that the community is against me when it's actually my own attitude that would've caused that.
Your sprite ownership status is whatever. The fact that you say you gave them away is irrelevant because the sprites themselves weren't the thing that made you a spectacle.
I don't know how you got personal attacks out of statements made about game mechanics by people who didn't even know you exist, but I hope you're doing more about it than just thinking. That shit requires Olympic level logic leaps and paranoia to match. Even now you're focused on the community hivemind boogeyman, meanwhile this thread was dead for two days before your post.
This was some truly low-stakes drama in the first place and this is a salt comm for a dragon pet site so that's saying something.

(Anonymous) 2025-01-28 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)Op: "I think people just want these old items released just to spite me, and people like me, specifically."
*several responses stating the opposite*
Op: "I have concluded IT IS spite."
