#47 - And now for something completely different (Part 2: Electric Boogaloo)

[anonrisingcocomod]

This is a Star Trek anon comm now. Make it so, nonnies.

Just kidding! Since the attitude in the comm has chilled out a little, I'd like to try another post without a Wanker Thread to see how it goes. The Wanker Thread is still present on the comm, but hidden to you (for now) and will be brought back if any big drama occurs that people feel should be contained. You can still make complaints about things that annoy you on Flight Rising, but let's try and keep the vitriol at a minimum. 

Oh, and welcome to The 47 Society, AnonRising!

sa

maybe it was the "buddy pal friend" but I really wasn't fond of the "you're looking through rose-colored glasses uwu" comment because it came off as condescending, as if I had no reason but nostalgia (for earlier this year) to back it up

if the "rose-colored glasses" was a very specific reference to the on-site item referencing imp prices then I didn't get that because it's a common enough phrase that the site item is not what pops into my mind

The "buddy. pal. friend" bullshit was totally you being nasty and it's cute watching you pretend like that's something friendly people do. And there's not an uwu to be seen in that comment you've inserted it to. You know if you're gonna misquote someone it helps if people can't parent up to instantly see you deliberately misreading tone.

OP:

You know, this entire thread has gotten just so ridiculously angry (so pointlessly that I'm tempted to use a term from a different anonmeme of yor, 'angy') that I just don't know what the fuck, man.

For the record, yes the rose-tinted was a joke reference to the item on the website.

And I stand by that the dragon market has been 'fucked' so long it's pointless to act like it's that bad anymore. I joined in the summer '15 window, which I'm sure makes me a complete cheeping baby bird next to some people on there, but by the October/November/December windows of that year I was already telling my joining friends, "Just accept that you will be exalting pretty dragons, because there's too many users and dragons now for 'pretty' alone to sell. You need to either find the Hot New Thing or else have a niche."

I just don't think that's anywhere as bad a thing as people present it as. That's just how sites like this tend to work out.

And it's really surreal because this entire thread was indeed about how thanks to the Bogsneaks, even the Hot New Thing froze for a bit, because it suddenly stopped being the Hot New Thing.

For the record if anyone cares, now that Bogsnek mania has died a bit, Rune dragons are in fact selling again. I've sold three since I made this post at 150Kish each and made back my investment on the scrolls with some minor profit already and all future sales pure profit. That doesn't seem like a completely destroyed and broken market to me, I'm just positive that if the Bogsneaks had been released a week or two later, I could have sold those same dragons for 200-250k. I did it with Spinner and Skink, after all.

It's all down to expectations. And not making references to the website's alt text, I guess.

there's not an uwu but that was the tone I was getting

hence my comparably snide response

thanks for assuming I don't know what I'm saying or that I'm an idiot I guess
