idk, just something my sad, sleep-deprived brain came up with at four in the morning because I’ve nothing better to do than think about dragon neopets and get ready for work.

I do wanna address one thing (not just related to Benzyne/SIDREP): people can change their minds on a whim. One moment you might be buying a dragon off of someone thinking it’s the perfect one, and the next you’ll be selling it because you found a better dragon, or you don’t want it anymore and regret spending the money, etc. To the person you bought it from (if you messaged them), it might seem like you lied to them to get the dragon just to profit off of it. And some people do genuinely use that ‘tactic’. But it’s not something that can really be proven unless you can read people’s minds, or they admit to it, in which case it might be hard for staff to take action. I know I’ve done this more than once due to ADHD and I still sometimes feel bad, but I’m not just gonna message the person again asking for my cash back. I think one of them even blocked me for it, but I guess that’s deserved enough. In the world of millions of pixel dragons, it happens, and I don’t think enough people consider the possibility, so I’d like to maybe bring some attention to it

So I don’t ready understand your point of contention.

Not only that, but I would also like to point out that she also sided with Tox, a user who is a known pedophile.

@azurevolk on tumblr is Bowno on FR. sherlock holmes over here lmao

Try again, try harder.

If someone hypothetically hatched a first-generation Primal and didn’t notice the eye type when selling it (yes, it’s highly unlikely to happen, but this is a thought experiment) would it be the buyer’s fault for buying it at the price its owner pegged it at?

It may not be technically against any rules, but you're knowingly taking advantage of people and you're a scummy piece of shit for it.

I was a former member of the Special ID Collectors Group SIDREP. I left due to a lack of interest with IDs, but I do still check in on occasion. I’ve noticed as of recent some people with lairs I use for inspiration have been receiving profile comments similar to the following from current SIDREP members : ‘Hey is the primary/secondary/tertiary breed gender for sale?’ The members hide the fact that they are only purchasing for the ID, and if they do manage to purchase the dragons they then auction or resell for several times the original price. Looking into it I found out about ‘Bad-Faith Trading’ which is something that looks like it can possible result in account strikes and bans, I checked out the official tumblr for the group and one of the anonymous asks was very similar to my current concerns, to which the runner of the tumblr blog answered with the following : ‘We do not lie, we simply omit the information that the dragon has a special ID in order to achieve a lower price.’ This nearly happened to a close friend of mine and I’d like to know what other non-ID oriented players think on this, as it’s not always in the seller’s job description to know what exactly a person’s intent for purchase is; frankly, lying to someone’s face isn’t nice either //

Care to clarify, @saturday–jorts?

Big oof.

I have mixed feelings on the situation. While I’m not happy that someone was able to get that kind of information on Silverwolv, I am thankful that they aren’t sharing the information and that they contacted her family/parents. From what I gather, they were able to find her real life information because of the things she posted on tumblr which is absolutely a problem. If they can find that information, someone with more nefarious intentions could find that information. It’s probably for the best that her tumblr was deactivated so that information isn’t available anymore, regardless if it was at the request of her parents or not.

LMAO you rite though

I also mentioned in my post that Lioden does allow for inbreeding, so I guess everyone who plays Lioden and doesn’t care if their lions are inbred at some point in their line, are also horrible because they see “nothing wrong with incest”?
