I don't think just because someone has not named or fed a dragon that it means they are unwanted. Most of mine are unnamed and I don't think they are "unused".
these people said in the pms saying "I'm not using them for anything but I want to keep it" Like why? I was offering 100k plus future double to triple ivory imps...its just...*hangs self* And I'm not saying yours are unwanted. I'm just mad that I had to go threw hell and back again to get the colors I want.
I think that's a perfectly reasonable response to your pm.

Also not judgeing you :3

I'm not annoyed so much as confused why this person came out of the blue trying to buy an imp from me for 5k then my listed AH price. I wouldn't mind so much if I knew they were a friend/Petopia/hell even a Lightning flight member, but they're some random person?

I know I've ranted about this before.. but.. Ugh.

So I hardly got any interest on my FR commissions. Understandable. My art sucks compared to everyone else. I've got over that.
What I have not gotten over yet is that there is now 0 interest in my accents that I had people flocking over before when I did an interest check. The people that signed up wont reply, the ones that have have not paid so I can not buy the blueprints an just.. Ugh.

Am I really that bad at everything? Really? My prices are lower than everyone elses plus mine wont be released again while other people have at least 10 of each. People could easily resell mine if they're that limited for a profit if anything =\

I'm going to make a bold move in a few days and try to get a hold of some gems myself, buy the blueprint, and ping everyone that said they were interested that I have the stuff and I need the payment. it prob wont work and I'll be stuck with my apparently very shitty accents but oh well. I just don't know what else to do.
One thing is for sure though, I wont bother with all the other ideas I had. I'm worthless when it comes to this shit.. Which is sad because I was hoping this would be the one thing I wasn't worthless at. Oh well. At least I can me 100% worthless now!

Siggy under construction!

My dragons are nothing compared to everyone's here. Double crimson....double seafoams...lavender....ivory with gold and triple ivory. Recent show off your dragons posts proves no one likes brown. Maybe I should just stop posting my dragons here altogether everyone likes pretty colors. Stupid game is making me depressed.

Qinni, I mentioned how much I loved that brown snapper you posted in the showoff thread, so that's just not true. No one's commented on mine recently either, but I still show em. Even when I don't comment on everyone's I still like to see them.

*throws things*

I was really happy with my description for Hemlock and I was going to add in a title for him and FR HAD ERASED THE DESCRIPTION.

I've had it delete three or four descriptions so far and it drives me crazy. ;_; I'm going to need to start saving them on tumblr or something because I'm not particularly keen on constantly re-writing them. And I don't even remember all of the details on Hemlock.

Its ok Qinni I like brown dragons :) I like alot of odd colours that aren't pretty so don't worry!! My dragons are very boring compared to other ppls but thats ok, i still like to show them off regardless <3

Hell I almost fell off my chair when 2 rust coloured babes sold on the ah cause I thought no one would want them!

You know what's kind of a low blow? Someone from YOUR OWN FLIGHT buying one of your babies off the AH, not naming it, and exalting it. Really? Come one guys.

Ah well. Not the first time it's happened but come on. You're from the same flight as me.

At least they lost 2k doing it.

That angry feel you get when you realize that the reason two of your babies got snaffled up (after days of trying to sell them) is because their genes/colors have come up on the exalt-o-meter and the person that took them and exalted them made more from it than you were trying to sell them for.

someday I'll find someplace to host a sig that isn't stupid money-grubbing photobucket

Yeah, that happened to me exactly once Nacht and then I decided never again if I can help it. I don't sell my babies for under 7K EVER, since I can make at least that by leveling them to 4 when they grow up. If they happen to match the breed/colour/genes desirability factor of the day as adults, I will exalt them myself. I actually don't mind exalting stuff (or having mine exalted), and when I have space I tend to go on shopping sprees to do just that, because the less dragons on the AH the better for the economy, and I like to do my part to help, even if it isn't much. But if every player exalted between 3-6 dragons a day, it would probably look a lot neater on the AH. :)
