rising that flight 🔥🔥

i.e. you could list a dragon for sale for 20,000t OR 20g (or however many gems you want the t:g ratio to be), and the buyer gets to pick if they want to pay in treasure or gems

It means that the player selling the Light Sprite for more than what my mortgage is worth...doesn't sell the Light Sprite, because most people can't fucking pay for it. And it means that players who want the Light Sprite can't have it because its only listing is beyond the definition of expensive, or that saving up for years is a race against other people trying to save up fast enough to buy it first. Either way, most players go without.

It means that, with enough retired items, you end up like GaiaOnline. Yeah, there's tons of limited items that may "appreciate in value" but the truth of that...is actually this:

Some of these items have been on my wishlist for a decade.

These items have no value because not enough of them even exist.

GaiaOnline used to be a place where "Questing" for an item was something that tons of people loved doing. Even I did it. I quested for a Fallen Wish back in the day, I quested for Inari's Beads, I quested for monthly collectibles every time one I liked dropped.

Big horns/antlers? The perfect perching spot. All of their fae buddies can gossip and catch up while the gaoler goes about their business

Big fluffy fur? Hiding spot. The gaoler never needs to sit through a boring meeting again because they can have a fae hidden in the fur by their ear keeping them company.

I don't even play much anymore, I'm not even a robot enthusiast, but this still mildly bothers me

you piss of a coatl on dragon twitter and wake up the next day to find your name trending because they wrote like 15 songs about you. each piece is highly experimental and frankly revolutionary to the modern music scene. one of them is just an unbelievably autotuned clip of them saying "I fucked your mom" repeating ad nauseam over a breakcore track they composed by banging different kitchen utensils together and letting their floracat familiar meow into the mic. another is a symphonic piece performed by an actual orchestra (they got their other coatl friends to collab on it). while the orchestra plays they're reciting slam poetry about fucking your mom (their diction is incredibly impressive considering common draconic is their second language). the whole thing ends with them doing an out of left field electric guitar solo that's so beautiful it actually moves you to tears. multiple other tracks are just straight up entirely new genres.

(and one is just a regular diss track but their flow is like really really good)

They track you down to where you are. Give you a smell, and leave. For two days you hear nothing. On the third day you find an extremely well written multi-part thread detailing all the most embarrassing memories in your life including but not limited to when you gave crim an eliminate three times in a row, when you logged 100 hours in Baldwin that one week trying to get something other than copper muck, and also leaks your scatter scroll history.
