#their stupidly overinflatedly priced fairies anymore and they would LOSE ALL THEIR MONEY because sprites would be WORTHLESS

[here-there-were-dragons]

op as someone who's been on since the start of 2016 and the literal week naomi happened, they were doing it back then too. they've always been this entitled (ironically enough since they've spent a decade straight constantly accusing everyone else of being entitled and greedy and whiny and oversensitive over every little thing always) and the staff have always catered to their tantrums.

these days anytime someone says they can't have fun if there's no retirement, all i can hear is "it's not enough for me to have a thing, everyone else has to NOT have anything too! i can't enjoy this game without hoarding every single one of everything potentially desirable for the singular purpose scalping people for all they're worth (and then calling them entitled again) and i would legitimately rather every single one of this thing gather dust in a dead account than live in a world where the filthy peasants/poors anyone but me might get to have jack squat, also i expect the hand of god to force the investment economy to turn out in my favor every time because that's how investing works, right? as a (older/legacy/richer/"real"/gem-buying/pro-retirement/professional ah flipper/person who makes all of my money from scalping/no clear justification given/whatever) player i'm a protected minority culture and i'm being discriminated against, the joxar sprite recolor nymphs are a hate crime against me personally. what do you mean i'm overreacting? stop taking this dragon game so seriously. you're just entitled, get a job poor, the staff don't owe you anything whiny baby. how dare they do anything that might cause my Investments to be worth 0.1% of a single treasure less than they potentially maybe could be. they're supposed to only ever do things that favor me! being an investment flipper means the staff should be required to hand me money personally"

I’m not an old player in FR by any means (joined in 2017), but I hate how passive aggressive people get on the onsite forums when you say that the “economy” shouldn’t cater to the 1% of FR players that have Light Sprites and the ones who can afford them. They call you all sorts of things, like being lazy, greedy, and childish.

Like, sorry? I have a life outside of this dragon pixel game, and spending my limited time on this earth grinding out for a familiar is apparently worth it because some jerk thought it’d be funny to mark it up to 190k gems was funny, is not my thing.

Personally I wish the staff would just buck up and rerelease everything that was retired. Yes, I do mean everything. Making money on the site was never hard, and the people hoarding Light Sprites, Imp Scrolls, etc. do not matter more than the rest of the players.

Oh, yeah. The passive aggressive behavior is atrocious, but I prefer it greatly to what happened to me otherwise. I'd rather someone just call me greedy or entitled to my face than to go out of their way to make Flight Rising unplayable for me.

The thing that gets me is that back then, even though I wasn't always as polite as I could have been, I was always trying to make room for the argument against crashing the market...but these days I actively don't even care. After 2 years of harassment and watching those prices continue to inflate, I'm firmly in the camp of "Fuck it, nuke that part of the economy".

I can still understand not releasing the KS stuff, even if I disagree, but any of the Festival stuff? Nope. Give it out. Put all the Sprites in a Galore delivery. Fuck it. FUCK IT. Fun gameplay over protecting an inaccessible section of the "economy", always and forever.
