What kind of assumptions do you make off of other players avatar dragons? IE: Judging by breed, genes, skins/accents etc. etc.

I don't pay that much attention, tbh. I notice avatars, so if someone has the same one for a long time, I'll recognize them based on it, but I don't think about what the avatar might say about them.

female avatars = female player

male avatars = male player

I just looked at my friend's list - 9 out of 25 people whose genders I know have avys that match. Anecdotal, I know, but I was curious.

People with Guardian avatars tend to be extremely boring from my experience.

Anyone with glasses on their dragon has glasses IRL. True fact.

Sunchasers avatar: REALLY into how much money they have and think you should be, too

Snapper avatar: hipster

bloody bandages in their avatar esp if it's a male ridgeback: tryhard 2EDGY teen

female skydancer avatar: probably a stuck-up pain in the ass, in my experience

Gilded Crown: Wants people to think they're rich

Re: Avvie assumptions

Not much, but since many players don't use their signatures or change it often, I do appreciate it when people keep the same avatar for a while!

For some reason I don't instantly associate the headshots with the respective dragon genders... I'm glad, tho, since pronouns are such a touchy issue. I'd rather not get yelled at, lol.

Other than that I know way too many people with SD avatars, so I can't even generalize much. Gilded crowns annoy me a bit, like the person wants to flaunt their dragon wealth? Feels kinda snobbish to me. We so need more crowns.
