In light of the latest [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/ann/1861078/18]Community Update[/url], I thought I'd remake this poll. Does the named or unnamed status of a dragon affect whether or not you would purchase the dragon from the AH, and qualifier questions that should help people more accurately reflect their feelings regarding the named/unnamed status.
I added these questions in light of a few user's feedback from the last poll, which I thought was very helpful. Thank you in particular to @ nika for your suggestions, which were very helpful when creating this new poll! If anything seems strange or wonky, or worded in a difficult manner, please let me know and I'll do my best to fix it as quickly as possible. Please feel free to answer in your own words on this thread as well as on the poll itself.
Edited to add: [b]This poll is about permanent or semi-permanent dragons, not exalt fodder.[/b] Just FYI! c:

When I buy a dragon for myself to keep in the AH I don't care whether it's named or not. I mostly keep the name because I give my dergs random names anyway, but if it had a name I really disliked I'd simply rename it. So names don't play a role in my buying of dragons.
Only sometimes when I buy drgaons for leveling and exalting, I prefer to buy prenamed ones (here I don't care about the name at all) because then I can go straight to the Coli and don't have to name them beforehand (and I also don't have to worry that the seller would dislike the name I give the derg in their offspring list^^)

Honestly, I almost prefer them named (though, a serious name and not something random like FridgeMaster). I find myself inspired for lore based on the dragon's given name, and it makes me feel less guilty than I would having an unnamed dragon in my lair (because usually, I feel terrible - I bought the dragon, it should've been named and showered with love and affection - if it's unnamed, I'm terrible at coming up with names and often resort to the random name function).
If I didn't like the name, I would rename it - I can always pick up a scroll of renaming after a few rounds of Artifracture.

Did the poll. Glad to see it being taken again, although I doubt the results will change much.

It is regarded as unwise to harvest claws of a kamaitachi. These weasels travel in family units, and the survivors are known to hunt collectors down.

Since I'm buying for keeps, I don't care what the name is, since there's a 98% chance I'll rename anyway
Fandergs, if you want to know why got Redwing as a payment, she will be renamed when I figure out a name for her that i like

Hmm let's say there are three identical dragons in the AH for the same price. You want to buy one to keep and dress up.
One of them has a name you like
One of them has a name you don't like
And one of them is unnamed
Rank them in order of most/least likely to purchase.
I personally would buy the one with the name I liked, then the unnamed one, then the one with the name I didn't like. But even if the one with the name I didn't like was the only one, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it.
Not that I ever find more than one dragon that fits what I'm looking for... But it was interesting to think about!
