Some people like having lower generations while again, others may just want a dragon of any generation in the lineage.
However in that lineage, they're the 1st generation to come from the "Gen 0" or starting pair of that lineage! Many times this is definitely lore related & most will have a button or link in their bio that can take you to an og thread (aside from Ignis & Naomi, which afaik don't have main threads)ĭragons who are said to be "Gen 1" in lineages might really be mixed gen, gen2, etc. But again, it could just be the fun (or a good challenge) of having pure generation linesĪnother thing generation could refer to is lineage! Even gen 3 imps aren't as popular as the gen 2 ones. Again, it's more so because while there isn't a huge market for them, there are still some who think it's neat whether it be for lore or other reasons.ĭragons that are gen 3+ though? I'm not sure I've seen a market for those. I'm also someone who sells gen 2s on the occasion that aren't imps. It's just something that can make good lore potential for me! They're gen 2s too but they're especially cool because it's a user's 1st 2 dragons and I have the first hatchling from them.
I've even got some 1st born progen dragons I've kept from when I'd buy fodder. Personally, I don't seek out to collect specific gen dragons most of the time but having a dragon that's a gen 2 is still really cool! All of this only matters as much as the buyer thinks it does, or as much as the seller can convince the buyer it does. Heck, some create unique lineages with lore or even subspecies out of these pairs to increase buyer interest, but at that point, the fact they're G2 is just a sprinkle of salt on top of the actual value (the lore & visual appeal).Īgain, though: marketing. Having tangible relation to a particular special dragon can make their descendants more valuable in the eyes of those interested in having some connection to site history. On that note, I agree with that lineage dragons are different, and fall more in line under the first collectors' categories I mentioned. EXCEPT for Imperials, it is extremely easy to get your hands on a G2 dragon, so the factor for rarity is nonexistent, greatly limiting the novelty and having no inherent tie to site history unless it's, like, the world's oldest active progen pair or something. Meanwhile, literally everyone starts with a pair of G1 progenitors, and can even restore them if they're exalted. Collectors are usually interested in things like G1s, rare colors, old dragons, and special IDs, because those traits have some personal appeal, be it rarity, history, or sheer novelty. In general, the dragon market is oversaturated with thousands of perfectly pretty dragons, so players new and old will look for any trait that sets their dragons apart from the pack. It's sort of like how some items on the AH are being eternally listed for comically high prices that have never been bought, because someone thought that 0 listings absolutely has to mean "rare and valuable" and not " no one has ever bothered to actually list a Feather Pouch instead of opening it as intended."Įven if one person does it as a joke or doesn't seriously expect it to sell, the next might assume the first person knows something they don't and follow the lead. Some players might realize it's not working and move on, but more heads of the hydra still grow without them. One person tries advertising other G2 dragons with the wrong impression, and other players follow their lead if they think it's a valid business strategy. New to the dragon market, they assume G2 dragons are The Hot Thing and roll with it.Īfter that, it spirals. I would also hazard a guess that newer players, unaware of what makes Imperials so noteworthy, will find G2 Imperials advertised for big prices and don't understand that the Imperial part is the bigger half of the deal. Some are genuinely interested, but they're few and far between. They are hoping you'll find G2 dragons interesting enough to be interested, but in practice, it is a niche within a niche at best. Notice you're mostly seeing these dragons advertised for sale, not being requested or shown off by buyers.
