CURSE YOU COLOR WHEEL LAUNCH!! /shakesfist
Making me in the red!!
I don't think I've been this broke since I started FR.
Like serious. I only 5000t and 12g.

I completely sympathize, actually considering selling my sprites ( not like I will ever get them all anyways)

[Ana]

Ive kept one of each my sprites...but im never getting a lightsprite.. so maybe i should do the same... selling my lightning ccylinder as i never liked that apparel...but yeah new colors been expensive...love them though.. just wish nømy old skins would sell. I dont use skins so im fine with letting go of those

It... asks twice if you want to exalt a dragon, and you have to be on your lair page (which is pretty obvious the page you're on) to feed dragons....

Maybe I'm just really jaded and a total asshole, but it's also a bit hard to give the sympathy they want when they outright state that they want to be coddled and patted for this..

[Novikova]

I can see how it might happen. But I guess it'd go over better if they just said, 'dang, this sucks, can I get some sympathy for a derp in here?' Rather than... how they did it.

[Nachtwulf]

Besides, they let you unexalt one, don't they? She could beg the staff to return it.

[Nick]

Yeah, that's what most people are telling them to do on the forum is ask the staff to use the one unexalt to get the baby back.

[zedxrgal]

Do not PM a person asking to buy their dragon saying it's a dream dragon blah blah blah practically do a NYP then f-ing turn around and not respond AT ALL for three days so far after I sent a cheap offer!
I'm sorry but if I was waiting to hear about a so called dream dragon I'd be hovering over my inbox.
Totally don't get it.

If they message I may just say I changed my mind

[Bowno]

Offered a dragon on someone's thread. They said they liked it and were interested. They wanted to pay 10k and I agreed. Set up the crossoards. Didn't hear anything from them for an entire day. Finally got word from them that they were making some treasure. Late the next day they add the 10k to the crossroads. I try to accept.. It says they dont have enough treasure. I mention it to them and they go "Oh I know I only have this much hold on." Nothing for the entire day. Just now they posted a message on the crossroads and then canceled the trade. IDK what the message said, but I'm pretty sure it was something along the lines of LOL JK

:l So now I've missed out on a few days of potential sales for my Gloom/Storm/Storm Coatl. Not saying any one would want her. But still. Someone else coulda and now I just wasted all that time. wasedgfhjghj

GAWD I hate Smoke.

I mean, it's okay if you have white or banana or something really pale on a dark colored dragon but otherwise, it just ruins whatever other genes they have and almost inevitably looks -terrible-. Time and again on the AH, I run into '...you lost me at Smoke'.

I agree 100 % !! Smoke is just not a gene i would own. I can like it on others dragons. .but cant get myself to gene my own dragons with smoke.

[Rawr]

May I introduce you to Bone Keeper Tylendel?

[Ana]

Pretty ... but i would not own him hehe... i prob give him spines, grmbond or Thylacine

[Nachtwulf]

This gal is the only one I have I actually like smoke on.



Her name's Journey, it suits her. (also her mate has banana tert too.)

[Meggers]

I dont ever seem to have enough lair space and i always collect more and more g1s to work on ;-; I have already pruned my keepers so i cant anymore.

[Dewclaw]

This is my smoke girl. I got her from tarn.


That said, smoke, crackle, and sometimes thy work against the genes a dragon has. I LOVE glimmer but can't afford it so I usually end up with UB.

My rant: I can't find the colors I'm looking for (and I have a sick diabetic cat and feel like crap myself...yay no sleep + allergies). I want a double sapphire, a double cottoncandy, and an X/mist/mist. Apparently they don't exist yet. :/

[Ashaine]

Alex: Right there with you on that one. Just ask the staff to do the one time unexalt. If they've already used it, I feel bad for them, but hey, that's why the site asks a second time after you hit that button "are you really sure you want to EXALT this dragon?".

zedxrgal: Man that's weird. I'd be all over that reply PM if I was after a dream dragon. Can you tell if they've logged in recently (I'm assuming you're already checked and they have). If so, that's just really strange. O.o

Bowno: I'm sorry to hear that. It really is a bit rude of that person to keep you waiting and for that little treasure (it's easy to make 10kT anymore on games).

Nachtwulf: I'm probably the 1% minority here, but I actually really like smoke and sort of hate how un-liked it has become. Sadly I'd own more of it if I knew it would actually sell. I even took it off one of my favorite dragons because of how venomously hated it's become. Oh well, I understand that it's not the newest gene anymore and thus no one cares about it or it's just OK to hate it at that point. I'll never fully understand that kind of reasoning, but eh, that's just the way it goes.

STILL waiting for one person to accept the CR we agreed to for a G1. They were supposedly waiting for the [Community Event] Colourwheel Kickoff thread to verify their hatchling, then they said they'd accept the CR. I've been waiting days now. So either they are dragging their feet, or that Colourwheel Kickoff thread is. Regardless, I honestly can't wait until that thread is over and done with so it doesn't hold up trades anymore. So annoying.

EDIT: Also lost two dragons to two of my absolute least favorite people on FR. ARGH. please for the love of all that's holy, stop collecting the same colors as me... :/

[Novikova]

This is my smoke gal.


Also, I am having no luck finding a dragon I like with pearl butterfly or pearl primary.

I checked when the three day mark hit and no response. Dragons were at full happiness /fed etc. So I suspect that yes they had been on. But oh well. Whatever.
I mean. If they found it through someone else ................. fine. At least have the bloody decency to say something. I RARELY offer my dragons for sale but I was willing to for a dream dragon.

And I agree with others that smoke I really do not care for on most dragons. I think it makes them look worse.
Like this gal of mine:


I actually put apparel on her to hide the ivory smoke because it just ruins her prime /secondary to me. Actually I really dislike all three genes on her but have been too lazy & too broke to change them.

[Aleu]

Do people just not... ever read (or even skim) through lair descriptions? I have a small little part of my lair page that lists some information about my lore-based dragons. It says that all dragons up to a 'marker' dragon (Poor Jia XD) are lore-based and never for sale. Hell I even wrote it in bold/capital letters there. SINCE CAPS LOCK USUALLY GETS PEOPLES ATTENTION.

Recently, however, I've been getting people messaging me about... yep you guessed it, my lore dragons. Most giving me rather weak offers and some just asking. I usually politely tell them no and that's the end of it, but I'll admit I'm getting a little tired of it.

Hell I don't even know where they came from. I'm rarely active on the forums (And even then I'm usually on the General Discussions). WHERE ARE ALL YOU PEOPLE COMING FROM AND HOW ARE YOU FINDING ME??????

[zedxrgal]

AND HOW ARE YOU FINDING ME??????

Probably from dragon search.

I have it in BOLD Not just in my profile but even on the dragons' bios "Not for sale, trade or breeding. Don't even ask!". Yet amazingly I still get asked on certain dragons if they're for sale.
So clearly people do not read.
I understand if english isn't a first language but still.
