Re: Flight Rising Rant Thread
Staff had emphasized in the past that Retired means Retired. It even says on the site page about retired items that they will not return after their promotion or event is over. Which guess what? Once the festival or promotion the item was introduced in is over, that means its over and they're retired. Yet here we are now.
And that Skycat. Sure, they SAY that KS items are only from donation from players. But where is the proof to that claim? The staff could just SAY that it was donated, when really, it wasnt.
You know.
Just like how they said retired means retired ))))))))))))))
Already starting to sell off my shit. I'm pretty pissed that we were fucking lied to.

Re: Flight Rising Rant Thread
The staff has often gone back on their promises so I am not one bit surprised. I know I never win anything but kudos to those who do tbh.
Feel free to send me all the things you dont want ..I don't mind if they not rare anymore heh
I think they jack up the prices so that it's an even bigger sink. . Though imo they would do better to release 10 more lair pages

Re: Flight Rising Rant Thread
I dont like being lied to. I'm sure not many other people do either.
I'd rather spend my time, energy, and money somewhere I'm not being lied to ;3

Re: Flight Rising Rant Thread
Roundsey was introduced as a treasure sink with fun prizes that should never impact the economy, and so far, that's what it is. A single skycat won't change anything- people who hoard retired items aren't going to suddenly have easy access to something super rare. I admit, I really can't see the problem. :,D Yes, the staff has been clear about the meaning of "retired" before, but... then they started injecting retired things back into the game anyway through the random festival box. This is nothing new, as far as giving people a way to get something old but making it tied to very, very slim RNG chances go.
That said, I'm sorry you're feeling this way!

Re: Flight Rising Rant Thread
First I was happy that i finally got over 500k, but ohh then my friends needed lair expansions, Apparel, genes and dragons.. now I am left with 5k. That what I did with my treasure today!
(only a semi rant as I dont mind providing my friends with genes, dragons and lair expansions.. but ohh boy its hard to grind for other ppl to spend your money..)

Re: Flight Rising Rant Thread
On the bright side, Aequorin sent be a Private message saying they can see why I feel the way I do, after I provided a bunch of screenies of the staff saying Retired means it will never come back, and will discuss it with the other staff. So that makes me feel a little better that they do care.

http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/sug ... st_2530763 (- Thread been deleted but they wanted the description text changed on the ebony antlers because it was sexist..)
There also been threads complaining that males are listed first in the scrying workshop /ah/dressing room. And demands that fr remove the sex symbols from dragons.
I think it's getting out of hand. . I don't get why it's such an issue and imo it takes away focus away from true sexism ..

Re: Flight Rising Rant Thread
Oh yes, let's make people think that THOSE are the important issues feminists care about, because that will help them take us seriously when it comes to say, the treatment of young girls in certain parts of the world or other actual issues. This kind of craps wrecks the credibility of people who are actually trying to make women's lives better.Tårnfalk wrote:There has been a number of threads accusing fr for being sexist. .

Why in the world would they want the sex symbols taken off of dragons? That boggles the mind. Dragons produce offspring via sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction requires two biological sexes. That is biology. They do not bud asexually like yeast. So, the sex of the dragon matters and is a thing that exists. If people want to be so upset about it, maybe they could demand a genderless potion, like they have on Subeta, and apply it to whichever dragon they feel needs to not have a sex.

I'm often one to get easily up in arms about gender/sexuality stuff, but come on, folks. This is just silly. :/
