I used to be in Shadow, but left because I was frustrated with the community and our lack of dom. Now I’m watching the battle between Shadow/Nature it’s easy to see why. Nature has been on the ball the whole time, offering higher payout and extra bonuses that Shadow will only ever match, but never beat.
Also it’s petty to be salty about, but Nature receivers have said thank you for every single batch of fodder I’ve sent them and only one person from Shadow has. That alone makes me want to support them more even if payouts are identical.
Go Nature! Go win this fight since you’re obviously working hard for it!
Idk why I’m replying to this but whatever.
To begin with, yes we only matched their prices, but then a few days in we decided it was time to start beating them, so we did. Plus, there were attendants that offered bonuses which were better than just the raffle prices.
In our last push, I made an effort to thank each new user that sent to me and it wasn’t a difficult task. But this push was immensely different. Right from the start I was taking in way more dragons than I had in the past. If I wanted to please people with quick acceptance of CRs, I had to skip over typing out replies. I had people cancelling after 4 minutes. FOUR MINUTES. That’s how impatient you people get.
You can have speedy CRs or a gesture of gratitude, but you can’t have both without driving the attendant mad from the pressure. It’s a lot of work attending raffles and public buys, people don’t have to give up their time but they do.
And ‘… obviously working hard for it!’ implies Shadow wasn’t trying. You probably don’t intend for it to come across like that, but it does and I want you to know we put up one hell of a fight. Nature did well to win, and I congratulate them.
I’m not salty that we lost and honestly I would have been surprised had we managed to win. I’ll admit our dom needs some serious work, but that’s difficult when you can’t even change team names without users in the flight throwing a tantrum. Seriously. To bring about major changes, I only dread to think how negatively people would react.
I felt the need to at least explain why I didn’t personally thank people, although when I was less swamped, I did let it be known that I was thankful for the support in the forums, although I know that’s not entirely the same.
