Yep yep! I enjoy the site, so I enjoy supporting it by buying gems and getting nice things in return. :v I don't buy gems all the time, but when I do, I have no regrets.

I've bought mostly to gift gems to friends for birthdays/holidays, but have bought myself a couple packs as well for the same reasons and sometimes just because I want too haha. Don't want it to become a habit but this is the first free to play game that i've ever bought currency for and I figure- it's given me basically 6 straight years of daily fun and stress relief, I can afford to support it now and then.

[/quote] I like supporting sites like this that bring me joy. If they didn't have money, they couldn't pay for the server costs, hosting and the constant development each and every month. I mean we literally are having this giant site wide update in pieces. I haven't seen that anywhere else, TBH.

I have spent at least $500 Australian Dollars on this hellsite in the last 5 or so years. Don't really have any regrets about it tho lol, because it was a very slow process and that money would have gone towards fast food either way.

I'm in quarantine! Money that I'd normally be spending on expensive fancy grocery store sushi and caramel lattes is staying in my pockets these days. So I decided to spend my disposable income on Flight Rising instead. I rationalize it to myself, but honestly, I'm happy to be supporting this site that's brought me so much joy over the last five years!

Also, I'm an adult! I have a job! I pay taxes! And I can spend my moneys on pixel dragons if I want! :p

Totally. I love the Veilspun I gened up, and I like that Flight Rising exists rather than having closed down for lack of funds years ago...

I try to make every purchase count, so in my mind, yes it's worth it. While I still worry about my spending habits and try not to go on just impulse, it feels good knowing it's going into supporting this site. Plus, I made most of my gems back on selling the veilspun parents and their offspring through the AH. If my other two hatchlings sell, I'll make some profit. If they only sell for lower, at least I still have their fully gened parents who are each still pretty in their own way

Instant gratification is always worth it.
