No-one ever talks about how Light still doesn't have a dedicated Coli venue, either! Plague is the only one I ever see mentioned who still needs one. Everyone says it's the arena, but like...the elemental balance in there does not skew towards Light, and have you even seen it? Not our aesthetic.

I will say that the new arena art loses it sense of light the old art actually has the marble pillars that one associates with them. Back before the revamps Light was more stongly skewed in that area as well.

As for my flight gripes mostly tiered of never getting dom.

I feel like earth does get the short end of the aesthetic stick in its artwork.
Also a little tired at how people think earth barely has to lift a finger for dom or that we're not working for it when we get it. I can't speak for other members but I'm buying/leveling/exalting a lot of dragons a day minus this week.

[color=indigo] Our dom abilities are... suffering lol. Also we have a reputation for being filled with teenage edgelords. But that isn't entirely inaccurate. I may not be a teenager any more but I'm still a massive edgelord [emoji=nocturne winking size=2]

Arcane is just... way to large to be good in dom.

Oops. I used to be semi-active in Dom then just got... really, really, busy. Except I still procrastinate in the coli a bit too much for my own good.

Nature and Plague have connected lore, but this ends with both of the flights, which normally get along with each other super well, begrudging one another because we don't feel like we get a fair share in the spotlight. Other flights don't have to share their lore events with anyone else, but we do. I think this would be a grievance for both of us.
For Nature, we are consistently Nature-loving hippies, and at the same time are portrayed as xenophobic because of Gladekeeper's responses to things in the past. This has not aged well in the slightest with modern times. While people's criticisms are valid, constantly hearing people attack or criticize your flight gets old very quickly. Secondly, while I definitely agree that Plague gets a lot of problems because of the inherent way they were designed and got the short end of things, I feel like because Nature isn't constantly slighted in the game as much, we don't get a license to complain about legitimate issues we have with how the community, specifically, treats us.
The game, I think the biggest problem is our exalt pillar. We were one of the early pillar releases, and they came up with a cut-down tree that I have to look at as the placeholder background for my dragons, now, with the lair update. It's not pretty. Wind made a better Nature pillar, if you wanted my honest opinion. There are no tropical flowers or streams or anything resembling the jungle lair aesthetic in our pillar. Like a moss-covered rock would have been more suitable. Or a tree with an unusual growth with a hollow inside it. It could have been handled better.
That in mind, Nature grievances aside, I definitely think Plague deserves more love than they've gotten. I know some people are squeamish, but Plague is a flight that revolves around infection, disease, and weird mutations or evolutions. It has potential to be extremely creative with design concepts and ideas (Like the parasitic fungi in the new Forgotten Cave update). The problem being that they are heavily restricted in what they can have for designs or concepts because of people being squeamish.
I would like to say, though I am in Nature flight, I enjoy horror concepts, and if you are so squeamish a skin would make you not look at a lair, I'm surprised you can look at plague lairs in general, because of the Wyrmwound Plague aesthetic.

lore goes out of it's way to avoid developing us in any useful capacity and when we do get mentioned, it's just more unsubtle implications about how evil technology and science is and how technology is going to destroy the world by sapping it of it's life with hubris or something because apparently the writers have technology confused with capitalism again. also our aesthetics get horribly underrepresented because you can't really fit them into the dainty silks and flowers mold and honestly it feels like they don't actually have any idea what to do with us beyond just putting gears and plasma globes around everywhere.
