I could see this, depending on what else was in the raffle.

I don't enter the raffle except once in a blue moon, but if I were entering for a specific item or specific dragon and won a different one, I very well might give away/sell for cheap to a friend I know wanted the dragon and wasn't just planning to resell.

That said, sadly, yeah, likely to be a multi.

Is this about Rohi? If so the idea that their friend circle are just their multis is hilarious because they’re all very active in their own right and have been for years. Same energy as people thinking Pringle and October are multis in a previous ARR thread tbh.

In AAA, 888/9fox alone converted roughly 100 million treasure for them to dump into tickets. Definitely not multi, they were sending the treasure to friends for the friends to buy tickets. The friends were not using their own money on tickets.

Actually, sending a friend money to enter the raffle and give you the prize for free is a form of multi accounting.

Fortunately, that does not appear to have happened here, as the dragon was paid for, according to another user.

Yeah if OP is saying that Rohi is a multi because of this raffle, that is so hilarious to me. Clearly they have never actually looked into the people they throw suspicion on or looked into their behavior. And if you look at the dragon's bio they spent 200kg + 110kg worth of umas to buy the dragon. That is not buying them for cheap lol

+1

someone could make the argument that this dragon was sold at a low price as a triple rose could possibly auction for more than 310kg, but its actually laughable to imply that this dragon was given "for cheap." and while i definitely think that roundsey-focused multi rings DO exist, nobody has the time to manage multiple accounts with 100kg+ on all of them. while there are bots to automate financial things in FR, the amount of time it takes to accrue 10kg, much less 100kg+, using in-game things like glimgloom is pretty significant.

even without knowing the people involved are artists with popular shops its just.. much more feasible that these are multiple players with years worth of experience. and like tends to attract like, so of course they're bumping elbows. something something occam's razor

DA

do you mean occam's razor? it's a concept in philosophy, basically if you're looking for a solution/reason, the simplest one is often the best

Sometimes, friendships are really like that. I own a roundsey dragon. It was gifted to me by my friend who won it before the person who tracks those even saw it.

Examine the users in the group and their activity. Multis are obvious there.

Glad to be wrong, thanks for enlightening me. I am just wary of people who say their friends gifted them a really rare and expensive dragon.

I am also really salty my friends are all poor and barely play, whilst I sit in the 10 tix club, and never won anything-- of course, with just 10 tickets the chances are on the 0% but I can keep dreaming though, right?

But that's not even what they said happened.

"This was obviously not that goal. Fortunately, a friend outside of the above group won the rose and was very kindly willing to sell him to me so he still made it home to me in the end "

They were SOLD the rose.

"cost to buy after the raffle: 200kg + 110kg of UMAs
total cost: 421,110g :)"

It's literally just envy that you can't spend nearly half a mil on a dragon.

Not really, I realized after sending that I wrote the reply wrong. I couldn't edit it to say sold and not gifted, so sue me for being stupidly impulsive with my replies and not thinking which is a toxic trait of mine.

no need to rub the salt into wounds by being an ass with me when I am trying to admit I was wrong, but only being corrected by someone who thinks I can't drop half mil, which I kinda can..if I wanted. But I don't since I like being anon and someone would notice if I started to have randomly nice gen 1's in my lair and I cba with that sort of attention.

I am sorry for coming off badly and will apologise to Rohi in private for my assumptions about them.

I mean this gently, but this could have been a private salty bitch fest to a friend to get it off your chest before assuming someone getting a roundsey dragon is a multi accounter.

I'm friends with a roundsey winner and it actually made them miserable because people either called them "yet another boring rich player with no imagination" or accused them of being a multi accounter. They even got a nasty pm on their tumblr saying they shouldn't have entered if they were just going to sell it.

And then there was all the passive aggressive guilt tripping "please ping me for sales, that's my dream dragon. I would never be able to afford it but it's been my dream dragon since - insert random date here-" followed by other comments of "hahaha my dream dragon, I never would would have won because I'm poor. In my dreams, I guess haha :')"

Bitterness makes people act ugly without thinking.

I agree and understand, it was a moment of petty madness that I feel ashamed for.
I will keep myself to myself as before, I really don't understand what came over me other than envy and it's a nasty trait.

Will go back to my pixel dragons and trying to better myself than doing whatever the heck I did above. Thank you!
