Rosebud is my favourite dragon in my lair so it's actually hurt me quite a bit to see this happen. I mean I can understand them maybe not wanting them after a few months or so, I know I certainly don't have any of the dragons anymore that I first started with, but exalting them after only a week? Why..? :/ They could've at least asked me if I wanted them back...

Exalting a dragon after only a few days is pretty common practice, really. You buy the dragon, then a myriad of things can happen- it doesn't click, you find a better match, one with the genes you wanted- and then you've got a dragon you don't need anymore. Tossing them back on the AH is something not everyone's willing to do, because it can take a lot of time for a dragon to sell. Contacting the previous owner, as far as I can tell, is almost never done, because generally the attitude is "no longer my dragon, don't care". Plus, again, it can take a while for people to reply.

So you exalt it. Nothing against the dragon, it's just taking up space you might not be able to spare, and you don't have the time to sell it. That's happened to a few of my dragons, and I know I've done it before! It's a little bit of a downer to see the previously not-exalted dragon suddenly exalted, but there will always be more hatchlings.

Maybe the idea of focusing on genes rather than breeding wasn't such a good idea >.< half the dragons I have in my lair won't fit in...but I'm sure you lot won't mind adopting some dragons will you? I'll have to think which dragons go with which, and if someone don't actually go then they'll be up for adoption.

At least two of my projects are nearly done as all the genes will be done in one go...just need to snipe some wolf capes now >.<

Swipp I swear you keep throwing out the same damn swaps every time I look. Yes I'd love the venomscale armour and crimson silks but I don't have the mats for those yet. And I swear I'll flip your stand if I see another silver ore/gold ore trade pop up. Where's the cloudy wings trade hm?

Also I have a sudden urge to change half my dragons into pearlcatchers.

Rest in peace mum. I really did love and miss you, even if I never got to see you.

I need to stop...just finished writing a rather depressing little piece for Midnight, my progen. ;-; Involves Pooch, his exalted daughter, and Silverstream, his new mate. Basically makes it so the breed chsnge from a Fae to Guardian makes sense.

And I just realised I need to do so many dragon biographies soon >.< Zeria especially. I reckon Crackle would actually go. She's now nearly insane so umm, yeah. Crackle will make it look like she's covered in blood. Lovely imagery :P

Edit-- now I'm having second thoughts! I love Midnight as a fae, but I feel that as a fatherly figure he should become a Guardian so he can protect his young. Uhh help! Do I want to keep Midnight a fae, when Guardian suits him? Bear in mind that Silverstream is his mate now, so if he stays fae so does she. If he goes Guardian, well, she's going Guardian too. They look so nice as Guardians :3

I don't know where else to put this, so it goes here. *sigh* I just exalted my random progen since he couldn't be traded/auctioned. He just ended up not working out for me like I'd hoped and because I'm wanting a matching mate for my custom progen, Aegis.

Goodbye, Pale. I'm sorry it didn't work out, but I'll never forget you and neither will Aegis...

Ahh noo! Pale! ;-; you poor sausage you...;-; how matching is 'matching' for a mate? I'm assuming one with similar colours with obs, crimson and gold?

Genius idea Kayro! Don't turn Midnight or Silverstream into guardians! Buy two more dragons for breed changes instead! Heh no me...that's not a good idea. Let's just stick to the project...

Edit-- actually falcon, if you didn't mind waiting a little while I can breed you a mate for Aegis. Solar Flare should be guardians by the time the lass can breed like the male, and because the baby will have circuit you'll be getting smoke babies :) in around a month the babies should be here so if you'd like you can take your pick from them.

Seen an adorable little crystal guardian boy - he's one of 3 in the clutch, same colours, same genes - but he's the only guardian - other 2 are spirals. He was listed for gems on the AH so I asked for a treasure price - the owner wants over 100kT more for the guardian boy than the spirals?! Aren't guardians more common than spirals? Just doesn't seem fair to me and I feel like they have bumped the price because I have expressed an interest :( He's gorgeous but I can't afford that much extra - grrrr :(

:hug: Falcon. I've had to let my random go too. I hope you find your custom girl a better mate!

-hugs Zhuge- I've had that happen. Three tundra babies, the one I expressed interest in was put up for 100kt, the other two 25kt. I shook my head and opted to pass...it just felt meh after seeing that. I found something similar, gened it up, fell in love (probably cost me the same, but whatever LOL). That next day? Guess who was down to 25kt like his siblings? I don't mind paying quite a bit for a dragon...but I don't like to feel like someone is charging more simply because I asked and expressed interest. -shrugs-

Kayro: I'll have to pass, but thanks for the offer. Last night, I was thinking about Aegis's new mate being an Imperial, and then this morning, Ashaine posted a gorgeous double obsidian male with crimson smoke! Such a crazy coincidence, and their future children look really nice when I checked in the scrying shop, even though there's a chance of a few shades of pink randomly appearing. o_O I'm gonna have to gene her up now since the only one she has at the moment is smoke, while he has tiger and stripes (ha!)

Paw: Thank you. *hugs back* I don't like that you can't trade/auction your progens. I don't like it at all. A friend of mine actually had interest in Pale, which makes being forced to exalt him all the worse for me.

To avoid double-posting...

Lair arrange feature, I hate you. I really, really hate you.

Yeah, I mailed the owner and asked why the difference, they replied apologising saying they had used an old treasure gem ration :) I guess my mini rant was premature - they were really nice about it and now he's home with me :) x

Glad it turned out well, Zhuge! I've been in the same situation where the outcome wasn't so good.

As for my rant...

Some days I just wish I could slap some decency and respect for the feelings of others into some people. I really REALLY do. -.-

OH well. That's why ignore lists were invented.

If you do manage to Kayro I will love and hug you forever and I don't even know what else. ;_____; I have to leave for uni soon and I tend to be busy afterwards which is why I can't just sit and stalk the marketplace, I just don't have time to do things like that... And obviously I'd pay you back for it too!
