On December 15th, 2015, a user anonymously submitted a rant to the salt blog DramaRising, going on a very long rant about how they had been trying to save up for a XXX purple Ridgeback. Before they could buy the Ridgeback , another user had bought it and according to the anonymous poster had "[turned] it into a shitty joke." What egregious thing has the buyer done? Put purple apparel on the ridgeback, named him Purble and wrote in his description "he purble."

The backlash towards the anonymous poster was strong, with a lot of people pointing out how much the user was overreacting. Many simply reblogged and wrote 'he purble.'
Purble was exalted in 2017, but his legacy still lives on.
RIP purble king

I hate this. I hate this so much. Are you FUCKING kidding me, S from Plague?! You wasted a perfectly good XXX dragon. I wanted this dragon. I saw it in the auction house and was saving the money for it. It was 25 gems, which yeah is pretty expensive but I guess worth it for a triple color I guess. But I come back to find that he’s already been bought!! Ok, whatever, someone beet me to him…but then I see that THIS is what they did to him?!?!! Why not let someone who wants to give it good lore and actual nice apparel have it?! Instead you hog it and give it a shitty name and cover it in shitty purple apparel for your little joke. What, is this dragon just some kind of meme or something to you?! I sure wish I could have the treasure and gems to just throw away on a perfectly good triple color irifacebelly dragon for no reason other than to turn it into a shitty joke. You probably did this to spite me and players like me! Buy the fancy dragons we want just to turn them into dumb jokes?! FUCK YOU!
I can't even lie, I'm mildly concerned about staff getting on my case about this but like also many other flight rising blogs have reblogged the original post
