I look around jamaa township and I see people with stacked lists of headdresses and glitched rings or whatever. They treat every single one of those pixels as their babies.

I know they are hard to get.

I know maybe you tried hard for them.

I KNOW they are worth ALOT.

But seriously?? Its just imaginative things on a screen. Im not saying this because im jealous,

Im happy with what I have but WHY? ESPECIALLY when they start flexing their rares.

Like there would be times when:

A Jammer would troll you with their magenta furry on your LP HD (Still very good) and starts saying how much rarer they are then you.

Show off their rares on their list but not trade (The trading list is there for a reason its not a display showcase)

Treating others who arent on the same "level" as them in a different way.

You probably won't need those items in 10 years. You will probably quit.

Just please quit showing off your rares, being mean to others

AJ is not just about items.

Thanks! XD :3 Exactly. This game was supposed to be about education. Look how that went. Another sad thing. When Nat Geo stopped funding AJ, the only thing the jammers cared about were the rares! The craze over the cool banner! I was more worried about the game itself! What about Brady Barr, and Tierney Thys! What about the small amount of education the game already had! We'd lose it all! I was really worried. Fortunately, I don't see an impact yet. But something bad might happen. Let's just hope this game keeps going. I used to play Fantage, before it shut down. The sad thing is, before it shut down, this is what was happening. People became really attatched to their items, which really sucked (of course, the shut down was probably also due to the fact that non members could basically do nothing. We couldn't get good items, since Fantage basically put selling and trading for members only.) I really hope the same thing doesn't happen to Animal Jam.
