    If we increased the requirements for accessing this section of the forum, then it would likely be the end of trading for Flight Rising commodities. A lot of buyers are newbies who aren't interested in meeting the minimum posting requirements or purchasing VIP. This would leave only the clraik rank or higher traders to buy and sell among themselves. Since a lot of these trades are from sellers attempting to liquidate their assets and exit the game, it's unlikely that this market would remain active for long.

    As with all markets in every community, please take care to protect yourself and your valuables from tattletales.

    "And this cheater friend of mine just spent irl cash and bought the same things on the black market for almost nothing. They haven’t been banned yet and I’m thinking of reporting them cause it’s really disheartening they managed to get so easily ahead of me without any effort."


    So, the implication is that RL money has less worth ("effort") than FR currency.

    I sure hope I never have "friends" like this twatwaffle.

    Honestly, if people could refrain from insta-bragging about their new acquisition we wouldn't be in this mess. For the love of god, lay low for a while after you buy something. If you're buying stuff to make that game more playable, why do you feel the need to show it off?

    The FR community as a whole thinks that suffering is the only thing to be proud of. I have some disposable income so I buy my stuff, I don't have disposable time (or a disposable wrist) to grind to sell-in game to get income to buy my stuff. Honestly, I work either way for it, just in one version I have a lot more flexibility in my disposable income. Gems or my internet bill. I certainly can't trade in 20 trained fodder for an oil change.

    As a buyer, I'd be willing to jump in for VIP just to have a private trading section. The newbs are the most suspicious thing here and why I use about 3 shells whenever I get anything now.

    Honestly, even with trusted buyers you should be using multiple shells. FR staff is aware of us and has hired new staff members to stop specific, common methods of cheating. No shade at sellers, it's not their fault. And has nothing to do with them, it's all about keeping yourself safe.

    There's still specific steps you can take to make things 'safer' but I don't feel comfortable sharing those in public because they still work if the other person isn't a dumbass with their gains, or gets extremely unlucky. Am absolutely willing to share them in PM with older/trusted members though.

    To be fair, the market here is WAY cheaper compared to the prices of gems on site, convert that to the treasure ratios and you're making a killing off buying from the market here compared to buying legitimate. That person should just buy off the 'black market' if they're that upset about it though.

    There's no reason to be sorry, @(you need an account to see links)! We definitely want to protect the commodities in our marketplace from being reported, but we also have to ensure that it's still accessible to new buyers and sellers. This warrants further discussion on how to safeguard ourselves and each other from being exposed. The easiest solution is to wrap your threads in spoiler tags and report any suspicious activity, however we'd be happy to entertain new ideas that don't exclude others from participating!

    This is far from the first time the black market's been mentioned on tumblr. This just the most frequently it's happened back to back in a long while. If you need any help staying safe don't hesitate to shoot me a message. I'm still extremely knowledgeable about the inner workings, and can help out people who have been here for a while.

    And as always, if there's a serious threat, I will let staff know the second something's up. And the staff here has always been on top of things when it comes to the markets as long as it's brought to their attention.
