____ Project

in General

Deleted • 10 June 2012 at 6:14 PM

I really dislike that so many people are making ____ Egg Projects... It sorta seems like asking people to give you stuff for free... Sorta like begging. You need to work hard to get a pet, not just ask people for free stuff :/

I have nothing against the people who do this, I just think that it should stop.

I'm not sure, but those topics may go against site rules.
It says no creature begging so they may fall under the rule as well.

But yeah... :/

I agree â˜šī¸

Maybe a new forum for it so it doesn't get in the way of other topics.

THANK YOU FOR PUTTTING THIS. It feels like people are starting to beg. I mean, many users work for their creatures. Crescentfeather worked for her tine and nym, you worked for your adarna, magician worked for the epic tine cove, etc.

I started a new one, but until I have something to repay for them. But, if this has to stop, I accept it.

Its more of asking for donations. I don't know about them, but I just stay away from them.

Deleted • 10 June 2012 at 6:19 PM

I think it is okay to do as you long as you repay people

Deleted • 10 June 2012 at 6:20 PM

@blackdeathkitty i posted a topic like this one, and already about 3-4 more have popped up ><

Deleted • 10 June 2012 at 6:22 PM

If you repay, then I think it is okay, but most of the time it just seems like begging.

The few that I have read all ask for freebies.
None have said anything about paying people back.

I canceled it... sorry for starting it.

@bunnyshadow

Well, all you are pretty much asking for is EC... I'm willing to give a little EC to people, but not CC or creatures.

EC is pretty easy to get, anyways. You don't have to pay for it.

I think the people asking for creatures are just scamming. I keep all the EC i get from people in my strongroom .-.

I made a project a month or so ago. But I did NOT ask for donations.

I just asked for support/advice and good lucks.

It was more for motivation. I figured if others saw what I was trying to do, I'd feel more motivated.

People asking for donations really annoys me. It's okay to give donations, but asking for them drives me nuts.

@april__


Agreed. These whole "Project" things would be okay if you would trade for them, or at least owe people something :/

@darcy You were going to pay them back, so I think that it was okay.

Deleted • 10 June 2012 at 6:33 PM

Well actually in my project I said I had a surprise for donators,but i'll close mine.

Deleted • 10 June 2012 at 6:34 PM

@moon_theif Is the surprise a yeep? XD

Exactly!

Mine was just to mark my progress and get support from friends.

I wasn't even allowing donations. A couple peopel offered .I said no.

@april__

If people offer to give donations, I think it is okay, but I think it is a little un-polite to ask for free stuff :/

I agree on this issue! I will say i did donate 1 CC and 50,000 EC to 2 friends of mine to help them.

Personally, i think it is begging like people say "I'm saving for this so could you please give me this and that?*

I think its kinda rude.

I agree. It's begging. And I work hard to get the creatures I want without begging others to give me stuff to get them. Besides, I hate it when people post on my wall links to topics, even when I clearly stated on my wall so, and some users have been posting links to these "____ project" thing on my wall and I consider this spamming. It's simply annoying.

There are also some users who are posting lots related to their project topics at the trade center. Even more begging.

YES! I completely agree! I just saw a board like this a little while ago. "Hey I want this, I need you to give me money so I can get it" So you think that I'm going to earn money... . and give it to you...? Someone who I don't even talk to? That is completely ridiculous. If you have a close friend, then they might give you some. But it's rude to ask. It's like asking a stranger on the road. "Hey, I really want the new Ipod, so you should give me money" That's crazy and it won't happen. These topics make me genuinely angry. >â˜šī¸

It is kinda annoying, when you earn something by working for it and some other people take the easy way out by asking other people. The donators should at least get a little something for donating >.<

This topic is such a relief. I was worried I was just being a grouch at the whole thing and kept my mouth shut about it.

I feel the exact same way 😊 Earn your own EC by holding an auction, not begging. I could beg for a freeze but I'm making an auction instead. Much better alternative 😋

I so agree. I made one, but it died. And I'm like, "Okay. Whatevs. I don't need it anymore."
Cause I realized it was begging xD

Then just a few minutes ago, somebody posted their hash to it, then I blocked them. Jeeze o_o They were asking for CC, CC critters, and Mysterious Asteroid critters.
I can't stand people who just go and post a hash tag on your wall and expect you to donate. Sheesh.

Yuppers, but I don't really want to judge people, I just don't like the whole idea.
