FR, ETC

I'm a n00b. This is mostly for FR-related business. Ice Flight; Veronik.

Ugh, P from Water back at it again. I just… hate this user so much. Do you have to butt in to everything? Yes, that book series is bad and really shouldn’t be loved that much. That DOESN’T MEAN you should start attacking fans of the book and who want to see the movie. It feels like every time I see you in a thread you’re off being a SJW, wheter it be about cats (Oh yeah, those are always fun posts.) or Fifty Shades you’re off making someone’s day shitty. I wish you’d just leave people alone. Take it to PM even, don’t make someone feel like a dirtbag just for enjoying something in public. I don’t know where I’m going with this, but you always just rub me the wrong way and watching you turn a thread about movies into lengthy debates over one book and movie series was just horrible. You’re the exact kind of FR user I don’t like, I hope you like being a great example to me of how not to confront someone.

Wow. You know what a reasonable person does when others are discussing something they don’t personally like? Shut up and let people enjoy things.

rant

its just

whenever somebody says something like “LOL i got a mispriced item for WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAy lower than it should be! check your prices, next time #kek!”

or something like that…i just get really upset? because like there’s a lot of assholes that take advantage of misprices and don’t message the people who sold it to them?

like whenever i see a misprice i buy it immediately and message the owner, because honestly guys, it’s not that hard to be a fair and hardworking person.

i know a shitton of people are going to be all like:

“I do realize someone on the other end may be really sad and bawling their fucking eyes out. But, I don’t give a shit. Like someone else said, have 2 tabs open for the AH. It’s that easy. And if you can’t do that, stop telling us about your sob stories. ”

“ It’s on the seller to price things correctly. Why should the buyer feel bad or guilty for snatching up the deal, mistake or no? ”

“ They learn from their mistakes like hot damn, and someone lucked out. Lols bye. ”

“ I never feel bad for the seller. It’s easy enough to have two tabs open, one to sell, one buying. List your item, change tabs, look up the item, confirm your price is correct. Don’t do that, it’s your own fault if you don’t catch a mistake. ”

“ Like I give a fuck about how someone feels about their mistake. ”

“ “you got a cheap item, but at what cost?” one I dont give a fuck about ”

(yes, these are actual responses some people have gotten whilst addressing this issue)

it just makes me upset to see these types of messages because, well, it’s just a dick move

My grandma goes to yard sales and sometimes gets awesome deals. So she’s some sort of heartless predator, right?

What to do with garbage gifts?

my friend just bought me this dragon. He’s been without internet for over a year now and he finally managed to get someones xfinity so he can get on FR. He’s been loosing his mind over all the updates since he’s been gone and he’s just bought me this dragon. He’s so excited, its got all new genes, is the only dragon in the game with its colors (which are all new colors) and its a “pure gen2” bogsneak. I love this man with all my heart and I don’t want to break his, but this is the ugliest fucking dragon I’ve ever seen, and I actively search out ugly dragons as fodder on an hourly basis. For one, its got scales, which is the second ugliest gene FR has ever released. For another, its got grapefruit secondary, which is so hard to work with on its own omg much less with a bright green ass primary. This is the kind of dragon I would buy off the AH for 3kt and train to exalt for 18kt if I wasn’t feeling lazy and auto exalt. I have no idea what to do with it. He thinks its so stunning and perfect and beautiful but.. its just… Shit. He wants to know what lore Imma come up with for it and he wants to RP with it some day and I’m just….. I wanna throw it away. This is the Christmas Fruitcake of FR dragons and I want to “regift” it so badly but the gifter is watching over my shoulder to see my expression when I take that first bite. I desperately don’t want this thing in my lair, but I don’t want to hurt his feelings either. I’m grateful that the first thing he thought to do when he logged on after a year was to buy me a gift, and I’m happy he’s excited. I just wish I could be half as enthusiastic about this little nugget as he is. It doesn’t help that a few days before I had specifically told him that I didn’t want to add anymore dragons to my lair for 7 months as a challenge and even went so far as to block the Ah from my computer.

Disliking a gift doesn’t make you a bad friend. Providing these specifics was a mistake; hopefully they don’t see this. But it’s nothing worth losing a friendship over. One option would be to be honest. Just tell him that you really appreciate the gift, but the dragon just isn’t your thing. He will inevitably be disappointed, but see if you can make it up to him somehow. The other option, which I think is a better one, would be to not view the dragon as just another. Treasure it as a special, thoughtful gift from your friend. I’m sure you could figure out something with apparel and accents to make it something you can live with.

Previously had a samsung phone, now using a motorola, and neither (even with version and software updates and my new one being barely a year old) has ever been able to use the coli. It simply doesn’t load, both sockets. Nor will the fairgrounds. Whatever code runs them just… doesn’t work on some phones. Half the time FR can’t even figure out where I’m tapping my fingers. It’s also not necessarily an Android thing as I’ve used a newer tablet and it had no problems (although it was laggy as hell). Never seen a seizure warning, for the record, although it’s interesting that it’s apparently a thing.

FR really needs to consider streamlining the site for mobile in their revamp process… It’s usable, but so awkward, and clearly it’s not presenting itself universally with how many weird issues pop up for sections of the playerbase (see: iphone problems).

No salt from me either. Just a straight answer. (Sorry Drama Mama- I don’t have a tumblr to answer from)

Have you tried using a different browser? I have both FF and Chrome on my cheapo Android phone. I’m not sure which browser it was, but one of them made the site all buggy and wouldn’t load the coli. It works just fine on the other browser.
