Just wondering, but what species were the dragons? Did they follow one of the daily bonuses? Someone bought one of my tundras for 15k and exalted her because the bonus today is for tundras. I really don't mind because - hey, they gave me 3k more than I would have gotten from exalting her myself.

If you're paranoid about foul play and/or reduced to tears when your dragons get exalted, then breeding (or at least selling the dragons you've bred) likely isn't for you. In the interest of your own health and happiness, you should consider changing your play style.

Ranting is fine, but as someone who's easily offended and upset, you should understand more than anyone that attacking and accusing other people (and threatening to quit the site unless someone gives you a good reason for exalting your dragons, and then getting angry when people do give you a good reason) is counter-productive.

Malicious exalting is a) extremely rare, just tended to end up high-profile and b) now against the TOS.

Even without the Dominance battle, the likelihood of it being targeted was extremely low. 'Nice' dragons are ten-a-penny, and I for one have bought a dragon intending to breed with it, then wound up exalting because I found something better/realised it was the wrong gender/got bored with it.

To make it really clear: the main problem here is my paranoia about people, not the exalting. I am sorry if it wasn't clear to you from the start, I am not very good at getting my point across, I never have been. As I said very bad experiences. The problem with the answers are that I know most of that already and they are missing the point, this:
I just want to know that I'm just paranoid. Please, if you know what happened, tell me.

You can't help it, but the first thing that comes to your mind is not nice at all
I am not exaggarating when I say this. My first thought was that someone had hatefully exalted all my dragons and I couldn't find proof for anything else. My mind just froze. The main reason for this thread was to restore my belief in people, not to ask why people exalt dragons.

Can you please tell me which parts of my posts seem rude or accusing? Because I really didn't meant them to be and I don't want them to be. That would be just plain wrong. I apologize for that: English is not my first language and I don't seem to be able to soften my words even in Finnish...

@blaireau
I normally do; how else can I see what the converstion is really about? But you are right: I should edit my first post. It just that people are posting so much that I don't have time to do that...

@Lightning
Thank you! I love hearing about the headcanons and that is really nice image ^ ^. I'm slowly getting better with comments like yours.

@RagicanDodgery Thank you, and please read the text above there is something to you also...

@Glacialist
Thank you for understanding the real problem. So many miss it completely... I wish you best also, fare you well and may the stars lisgh your path!

@AboveClouds
They were mostly Faes, but also my iridescent sea Pearls, and my Arcane Skydancers and Spirals. And there were no bonuses, I checked that. That side is now thankfully cleared: because of the dominance battle every dragon under 10000t and even some of them were exalted. I myself got over 200000 but I really can't be happy about that.

@Cranberry
If it seemed that I was ranting I am sorry: I wasn't. Also, I didn't mean to attack or accuse people so I am very sorry if it seemed so.

It is not foul play that I'm paranoid about: it's people in general. And I know that, which is why I had to find a clear answer before my brains just froze completely. I get depressed and my mind just frozes and everything I can think of is negative. If don't clear it up I end up curled up somewhere and crying.

Please, tell me where I seemed angry. That is not what I meant and felt and it saddens me to hear so.

I took all my Snappers off the auction house when I had a couple get exalted that were selling for 10k. Normally that price is above exalt fodder, but that dom fight was intense. They're back on now though.

I don't usually care about my dragons getting exalted, my Snappers are the only exception since I'm trying to up the Snapper population. :(

I know what you mean about snappers. It's so hard to find a good snapper on here. I just bred some snappers myself and, man, I hope I don't have to exalt all three of 'em.

@Elaendorlien - I might have exalted some of yours, if they were unnamed, to go help the Bossman deliver messages and chase paper airplanes. If any in your nests are Intern________ (insert name of Doctor Who actor here), that was probably me. I did grab a few prenamed dragons last night, but none with the name you mentioned. If I exalted any of yours, it was only to help out the dominance battle.

Paranoia is never a fun thing - I have mild paranoia occasionally thanks to my GAD, and it causes all sorts of stress and horrible feelings. I'm sorry you have to deal with it.

I won't exalt my Snappers. xD I just hold on to all of them until they sell. Which is why I have no lair space, haha.

@sddalek

Sorry, if my posts were not clear: that named one was exalted earlier, not now. And no, the nameless became interns but were, sadly, not named after them. Sadly because I love Doctor Who ^ ^
