I hate how the giveaway section has slowly devolved into people farming for profit: raffle ticket prices and the amount of tickets mean that even if someone is giving away 2000g worth of items, oftentimes they’re making that back on top of additional because of the predatory, long hosting period combined with bump spam for tickets. 
I miss the good old days when FR giveaways were actual generous people looking to give back into the community instead of poorly veiled money making schemes.

I get the dislike, but...
I personally don't see anything super offensively bad about the design? Just looks like a cute guy, and I'd love to collect more. I like their egg heads too, though the wings couuuuld be thicker and look more like they're used for digging. Aside from that 7/10 dragon.

i can’t help but think FR as a whole has become more money hungry. it seems like they’re trying to change the game to a more fast-paced game, with constant new breeds, constant events, constant genes so people are more pressured to spend money so they can get the new next thing. ancients not having apparel also feels like a way to funnel a need for the expensive, one time use, and simplest items on FR: genes. so many of these new ancients are beyond boring for what they’ve been marketed as, and the only way to fix them is with genes (usually gem genes). the fact that all the genes won’t transfer from Ancient to Ancient feels like it reinforces this point. why on earth are the genes not transferable from ancient to ancient. the genes aren’t super specific either. blossom is a gene that fits on all of these ancients. veilspuns not having veils as a tert is silly. yes i get that they might slowly add the genes to the other breeds gene pool but??? why not release the gene for all breeds at the same time?? it feels like a marketing tactic to revisit interest for a breed that has already been out for while. i get it, flightrising is a business. but it’s just become ridiculous at how much they’re pushing for mid-tier updates just to build hype. they need quality control. it feels like the game became greedy af. i hope they figure out their shit before more people get tired of it

I’m sorry but the new breed looks like a beached porpoise.

Can someone crunch the numbers and tell me if it's more economical to switch an existing dragon to a modern breed (1expensive scroll) or an ancient breed(4cheap scrolls)? I need to complain (or not) about the constant ancient releases.

new breed releases
cue the whining posts in the FR forums - 'this design is bad, its uncreative, its ugly, staff need to do better....'
yes, you're allowed not to like everything - I don't enjoy all the breeds and thats perfectly fine but like, stop being an entitled whiny loser
like, can you imagine how staff feel when they work hard on something and then read a thread of people just whining because its not what they thought it was gonna be and instead of like, just not investing in the breed they gotta just....complain and say you suck...
get over yourselves losers and go buy a new imperial or whatever everyone loves those right

Am I misremembering, or did certain bloody bandage apparel sky rocket in price on the AH back in like 2017-2018?? I remember browsing to find some on the AH around then, and being absolutely flabbergasted at the prices for bloody head bandages.

Hey it’s me, the anon who said the Dusthides were bland and wishing they made a more chunky, large beast of a dragon I still wish they made the dragon chunky, but I’ve come around, I fucking love these bald creatures. I kept coming back to to look at them and played around the Scrying workshop, and they grew on me QUICK

We could have gotta a chunky, hulking, beast of an ancient dragon for earth, but instead we got Bald fellas. Every ancient that has come out I haven’t had an issue with, but the new one just seems so bland, even with the terts that was released with them. Maybe it’s because im not used to seeing dragons with no horns, but man I hope they slowly grow on me

not earth getting the most boring ancient. 😭 why does FR hate earth omg. they always get the short end of the stick even w fest skins/apparel +others sorry to the duskhide lovers but the fact that the LAH for them is like 20g half a day after their release is not promising for the masses lmaooo

i hate the new ancient because it is simply not Cool Enough to warrant not having apparel. give it three heads. give it seven legs.

I love when dramatising users complain and then all the comments are iterations of “op hates when people have preferences” as if the original poster wasn’t also talking about a preference of their own

aequorin's responses in the thread about oral traditions are embarrassing, people are having a constructive discussion about it and she just sounds so? mad? passive aggressive? about their own article being unclear and not very good? when an actual anthropologist is addressing it as politely as possible and giving solutions? sorry people are concerned i guess, but going in swinging after a few replies just "well i'm locking this thread to avoid trolls you guys are getting it wrong" is so fucking bad of a response from staff
also you can't claim you weren't basing it on indigenous tradiitons and then pretend the parallels people are drawing aren't valid, even if it wasn't intentional it's a thing and it's there and you approved this. and this is all the new writer's work, not giving me hope on them handling anything right again tbh
