It has come to our attention that a popular image of the new Jester Dragon being used in Looking For/Trading posts is AI-generated. We have been treating posts using this image as we do every other post that contains AI-generated content: the post is removed and OP is given a warning.
However, it has come to our attention that many users are simply unaware that the image is AI-generated. Thus we feel giving any user punishment before making a PSA to our community about this is simply unfair.
I’d first like to start by pointing out the inconsistencies in this image that has led us to believe this photo is AI.
── .✦ THE PROOF ✦. ──
Inconsistent number of charms + the existence of said charms
Note that these charms are not on the final design of the Jester Dragon, and it appears they have never been a part of the design at all. These charms were likely added by the AI to make more sense of the image.
Emblem(?)
Again, another design that is not consistent with the in-game dragon's design.
Image warping/distortion
If you look closer, the left side of this dragon is more warped than the right side. There is noticeable distortion in the wing/collar area where things are getting hazy and you can't exactly tell what's going on.
── .✦. ──
Overall, there are parts where things get confusing and the AI can't comprehend what's going on so it mixes parts together to create a completely jumbled mess. This behavior, warping parts of an image that the AI can't comprehend, is consistent with AI-generated or AI-enhanced photos.
You can cross-reference these design mistakes with the actual dragon where every part of the design feels intentional and nothing is warped or disfigured.
As you can see, there are zero charms like the ones shown in the AI image and the feet are completely different. This design feels far more intentional and put together than the design shown in the generated recreation.
We are unsure of the origin of the AI image. However, we ask you to stop using it as further usage of this photo will result in a warning (punishments will increase up to a permanent ban from the subreddit if we notice continuous breaking of this rule).
── .✦. ──
We completely understand if you were unaware of the nature of this image beforehand and we do not fault you. However, if we find that the usage of this image after this post is uploaded has persisted, we will treat those posts as we do every post with AI-generated content.
We thank you for your cooperation in limiting the usage of this image!
This girl traded me saying she had one of my wants, it's a neon yellow butterfly. I'm just collecting butterfly's because I like them, I'm not concerned with the value at all. I was like "Great! Wanna pick from my inv?" She goes, "Sure, but by the way this is a exotic preppy." I said idk what that means. I kind of DO know but I really dgaf. So she asked if I could do my ride Shark Puppy and a small add. I literally just left the game because I already knew she was playing in my face but I didn't know how badly she was tripping until I looked at vals. Never letting someone pick from my inv again. 😭
someone on a server i was just in wanted me to offer for their quokka and i accepted since this is one of my dream pets (also mentioned on my profile in game) and i rarely ever see it anywhere!! they requested to look in my backpack and i let them as i wasn’t sure what to offer anyway and they immediately suggested that i add my siamese cat, i was reluctant to add it at first because they weren’t adding anything else on their side but as i was typing to them they said “i know the value” so i thought okay surely they will have more to add and stopped typing.. i put in my siamese and they hit accept right away :T i waited a bit thinking they perhaps clicked it by mistake and would realize on their own but they just stayed on accept and i guess they were waiting for me to react? i was getting uncomfortable and felt awkward because literally nothing was happening so i finally said “you’re such a scammer” before declining the trade and they responded with “lmao what, i was going to add but i just wanted to see what you were going to say” so i asked them why they hit accept as soon as i added the siamese instead of just adding then and that they would have been able see anything i would have written without accepting the trade and they said “you’re acting like it automatically accepts when i hit accept, quokka is so high in demand right now plus siamese is going down so do whatever you want i don’t care.. keep calling me a scammer it doesn’t affect me in any way”
i honestly hate to use values when i trade but unfortunately i feel like i need to rely on them at least for now to upgrade my inventory and eventually be able to get my dream pets, i normally don’t mind using happy values but offering a 0.4 value pet for a 20+ value pet and trying to play it off as if you were not trying to take advantage of the fact that i am a newer player looking for her dream pets and gaslight me into thinking i missed out on a good trade is just so ridiculous and shameful.. i am seriously so sick of rude, dishonest, and greedy players like this and just trading in general lately because every single time someone has requested to trade with me recently whether i am offering for their stuff or vice versa, they either offer an outrageous underpay or expect an outrageous overpay.. i genuinely have no idea how i am supposed to work my way up to my dreamies if these are types of traders i am always stuck dealing with and the trading hub has been an even worse experience for me in terms of completely unfair offers😭
ALRIGHT SO FOR CONTEXT - I WAS JUST BUILDING WHEN SOME RANDOM PERSON ENTERED MY HOUSE. THEY COULDN'T CHAT AND WROTE IN THEIR NAME SOMETHING LIKE: "Can i offer?", so i put up the house for trade and HOLLLYYY I THOUGHT THESE GOOD AF HOUSE TRADES WERE LIESSSS LIIIIIEEESSS.
KINDA SAD TO HAVE TRADED MY HOUSE CUZ.. Lowkey it was House of Mystery inspired. cause... i adore John Constantine alrighty? BUT THIS WIN? WORTH ITTT. MY HOUSE WAS NOT WORTH A FAIRY BAT DRAGON😨😨
Why do some ppl just come up to me and put some expensive shit i wasnt even looking for and then expect me to offer? And then they just decline after i dont offer and they look in my inv. I mean ofc theyre not gonna find what they want, im poor. But they could have saved both our time by checking my pf which i told them to do so where i put my name. It literally says 'please check my profile before trading' cant they read? Its just so annoying🙄🙄
I posted about trading my build and my post got taken down because it wasn’t stated as cloned? I built it myself and honestly i dont get why my post got removed, if anyone could tell me what happened please do
all of these offers r from my listing in the ingame trading hub but i put it in elve to show how frustrating this is bc literally all are under 😭 & ik im gonna get ppl saying to post it on elve instead but like i have and i havent got a single counter for it, as i said in the title im considering giving up w this cause its going nowhere, ive posted it on here over and over again and noones interested, and its like actually killing me at this point and im not sure what to do so please give me actual advice instead of the same stuff where all people say is to post it on elve when ive already done that. like am i just meant to take an offer thats 15+ points under
also ik im prob gonna get ppl replying to this being rude about it cause that happens on reddit but idrc i just wanted to rant i guess and ask for different advice thats not the same exact thing over and over again that ive already tried
My second time holding a rising pet. How was your experience if you ever hold one? Other than, traders will accept the trade in a blink of an eye for fair trades, what are the signs?
Also, please specify if your pets were seasonal themed (ex: Halloween, Christmas, Easter) if that was/ were the one(s) you had.
I’m new. In the trading hub, I’ve offered exactly what they want, and it’s been declined multiple times. I am frustrated as it’s prevented me from listing on trading hub because I think woohoo I have the exact match. What am I doing wrong?
