Eggs and hatchlings bred that belong to someone else:This is a quote from TJ09 over on the Dragon Cave forums!Quote:
After all, taking the code of other people's dragons to post them and "help them along" is stealing dragons that don't belong to you.
Basically, if it isn't on your scroll, it's considered stealing if you don't have permission from the one who's scroll it IS on to post them.
What I mean is, once it leaves your scroll, you're not supposed to post it to help raise it unless you have permission from whomever picks up your egg. It's their job to take care of it, not the owner of the parents of said bred egg.
I'm not liking taking this stance but TJ makes a good point. I've seen a great deal of my bred eggs (I'd say around 60-70%) die because the new owner didn't want to take care of it after picking it up off the abandoned page. Why should I give them a free adult if they're not going to take care of the egg?
Here's the way I look at it. If you post an egg you abandoned to someone else, it's like snatching it back and doing the parenting job for them.
Let's say you picked up an egg from the abandoned page and you post it somewhere. It's cracking by the time you get to 3.5 days (but has no hole yet) and then,all of a sudden, it gets an explosion of stats and dies because the owner of the parents felt you weren't doing a good enough job on your own to take care of 'their' bred egg (saying it this way because this is the way a lot of breeders see their abandoned eggs as still theirs because they own the parents). Wouldn't you be upset?
I know it hurts to see a bred and abandoned egg die. As I've said, a majority of mine have done so (and a fair share of them having 1/1/1 stats).
Some people will be grateful that you helped them. But really, a lot of the abandoned eggs tend to go to new players that don't know how to play. If you help them along, how will they learn? I must admit, while I've never had an egg die on me yet, it was a valuable learning experience to figure out where and when to post them. I would have never learned that if someone else was trying to raise my egg for me by posting it around saying they're trying to 'help it along because the new owner doesn't know how to take care of it'.

*steps off the inadvertent soap box that I created*
*coughs* I never meant to turn this into a debate or anything, just trying to clear things up.
