A chunk of complaining

Second, I was leaning more towards the head scales having a mask mesh added to them which would appear when dyed.

That might be possible if the biped system of detecting armor equips is used on dragons to detect scale equips, and apply a texture like a mask. However I don't think the devs really ar einterested in it right now.
I'm sorry if i came off as rude; I've seen suggestions for visible dragon armor many, many times and they're always shot down, so I decided I'd write a post before Velea or Amon or someone posted something like 'view the faq - we can't do it'. (No offense, but that's what it generally sounds like, guys~)

Anyways, most of the OOCers/idiots that I see are as follows:
1) Complete ignoring of rules. Believes they do not need to use brackets, even simple ones like [] that don't even require the shift button. Think they can just blahlblahblah all day long without consequences. Usually come in groups of two.
2) The lore-breakers and extreme benders with names like DeathSmasher999. Those who apparently are eastern dragons with no wings, fur that drags behind them that never gets dirty, and long branching horns on the fin head. Can cast epic magics and biped spells perfectly. Ect. ect.
The funniest of this one I've seen is a hatchling that literally walked up to an ancient, poked them, and when they responded said "you r supposed 2 die"
3) Those who don't respect others who RP, OOCs, but can RP sometimes if they choose to. World seems to revolve around them. Brackets always seem optional depending on their moods.

Of course, there's mixes of those and more. I've seen many through my years here, and recently it's gotten more or less worse. (Back in my day, the only thing you saw in NT was RP and if one person forgot a bracket, you would be shot to death on the spot)

I didn't get to see the marketplace scandal you mentioned, so I can't exactly comment. Assuming power-leveling isn't the best thing for anyone to do, even if it is a possibility. Usually power-levelers wouldn't even know the shard existed.
Actually, I might of seen what you're referring to; if you are talking about the time when that one person was getting on another person case for not knowing everything as an ancient... I believe that was a joke. If not, then I'm thinking of something else.

Wel, if this is who I think it is (If your name starts with an A)), I provided you the location of where to get the crystal, very early in the conversation.

Also, don't get offended when people are upset by a 100 day ancient. You may have worked very hard for it, but to most veterans it is just another feeling of frustration that there is no benefit for having a character over 3000 days old, and that the years of work are easily matched by someone else in a 100 days.

Most 3000+ day ancients on any shard will chew you out for being a hunderd day ancient. (I've been chewed out for not knowing everything about everything the first time I ever logged in.) It's just the way it is. They think it works against powerlevelers - no offense anyone - and it doesn't. It simply drives newer players away. I don't think I can understand their frustration. I'm only 390-ish days old and have no problem helping 100-ish ancients. In fact, I would love to see anyone who didn't have to ask questions in Istaria at one time or another. (Although someone claims they knew everything the second they made their first character. :s ) About visible head scales, I don't think this will happen. The closest you can get is wearing a mask, which can still be fun. As for order, I avoid order with a passion now due to that roleplay thing. If you don't roleplay a certain way, you're out. Don't try to start your own roleplay, don't ask OOC questions even with the (), because you'll get yelled at. (Sorry and no offense, had to add a slight rant of my own.)

Not sure why this thread was ressurected, but eh. xD

I'm over 1,000 days old and have absolutely no problem with 100-day ancients and level-30 adults, though it will irk me if they rushed there for the sake of getting there. Either way, I don't hold it against them. I've seen lots of new people chewed out, but at least most of them deserved it. ("Can u level me 2 100???" "Make me a scale now" "Help me NOW!!!!!!!!!1"... basically demanding lol) I know a good group of old vets who don't chew out the newbies though. Mostly people who hold themselves all high and mighty do. :/

That stinks. I'm sorry you got a bad impression. :/ Most people I hang out with are very welcoming to new players or people in general unless they've disgraced themselves to the community somehow. I don't RP much anymore, though; it's slowly became boring to me, but I do make an appearance and when I do, I'm generally welcomed. (Then again, most of the time I rp when there's people I know around)

You're 1 in a million to not assume that every 100 day ancient and 30 day adult was power leveled there. Most assume that there's no such thing as working hard enough to do the RoP and ARoP in that amount of time.
No offense to the roleplayers - I'm sure there are nice ones - but when you don't know anyone, it's hard to rp with someone you know, if that makes sense.
