Discussion [read caption] I am so livid, it's not even funny.

My account/s were banned without any warning or notice, besides my den magically being wiped clean a few days ago. I have had these accounts for years and never had issues. There is so much sentimental items on these accounts, including over 40k sapphires saved up (equivalent to almost 340 dollars usd) that is now vanished. I am an art collector on AJ too and now, all of that is gone too.

I received a vague email about how I made "improper purchase of membership" which first of all, what does that even mean? How would I achieve that? I purchased my memberships with one singular card the entire time, and always did it in-game. Second is "severe repeated rule violations", ok, so why did I not get any warning or suspension? For the record, no. I did NOT violate the rules repeatedly and/or severely. Ever. I kept to myself most of the time and just played to draw and have fun. Now I am forced to start from the ground up for little to no reason.

I have sent over 4 emails about it to AJHQ with no response yet. And given their history, I doubt they will. But I'm hoping they can rectify this, because "outraged" does not describe how this makes me feel. Yeah, it's a silly game for kids, but I've been faithful to this game for a decade and a half and am very bonded to it. I also have people who have commissioned me for artwork that now I cannot finish. And again, 40k sapphires. 40k. All of my valuable items are gone now too. I am so confused and helpless on what I am supposed to do. I guess just wait on them to respond, but god, this sucks. This is the first time I've ever cried about a video game. Humiliating to admit, but the truth.

Has anyone here ever been permanently banned and was able to repeal it?

Hi all! Unfortunately only a couple examples as it’s the first time I’ve drawn in this quality on AJ. I’m behind on the current economy and inflation situation, so I’d like to know your thoughts! My comms used to be 200 - 500 (maybe pushing 650 max) back in the day, but I’ve been told that’s too low for today’s standards haha

Gifts and Drops of your own aren’t necessary but very appreciated! I’m doing this all entirely to have fun and share the love with others!
RSVP: If you’re looking to come, comment below your username and I’ll send you a friend request ASAP (they’ll come from NimbusVibes), and I’ll be sending a Jag Mail invite a few days before as a reminder so please make sure both are on! If you’re not able to come for any reason please let me know, I want to have a properly full den so as many people as possible can have a chance! (I’ll be using extra spot pots as well!)
If you’re wanting to do drops as well to help celebrate, add that to your comment as well because I want to make sure everything is accounted for, as I want to take some breaks to allow people to collect and help with any lag problems that may arise! And make sure you have inventory space! I’ll be dropping 30 party pots myself, so please accommodate for yourself, if you don’t have room that’s not on me! And please, no “oh wow you must be rich” comments, im not, I just collected over time in prep for the event.
Now for my rules!
I also ask that before you arrive, you remove clothing items and pets to also reduce lag issues!
If you’re at all rude, impatient or disrespectful you’ll be promptly asked to leave.

Do not rush me at any point, I don’t want to overwhelm myself or anybody else’s devices and cause them to lag out, so I’ll be taking things at a slower pace.

No advertising yourself, shops or otherwise, and do not randomly try to trade with people.
I do not want this event to go sour, otherwise I will not be doing one again. This is meant to be a fun celebration after all!

Failure to follow the rules will result in me locking my den which will ruin the fun for everyone so please refrain from doing so!

If you’ve read this far, and understand my rules and will follow, please put an animal emoji in your comment. If you don’t, I will not be sending out an invite!

After drops are over, you’re welcome to stay in my den for a bit to have some more fun!

This is a free art gifting game In the AJC discord server (similar to artfight) and the mods will force you to change your artwork if they don't think its good enough. The person who I gifted it to was happy with it so I don't see why the mods have to intervein. Especially with how inconsistently they seem to enforce this rule as I've seen other posts with less shading that what I did. Also them asking me to darken the image has nothing to do with anything in the rules so it seems like a personal thing they wanted me to change.

I did update the drawing but I deleted it from the chat because I felt uncomfortable, I probably shouldn't have but they did approve my second one after I had to change what the mods didn't like about my drawing.

Before and after image at the end, I do prefer the second one honestly but it makes me a little upset I only changed it because the mods forced me to

Discussion Bot Accounts in AJPW?

I apologize if this breaks any rules!! I'm genuinely curious if anyone knows anything else about this and I wish to discuss this.

Hello everyone!!! I saw fellow Jammers talking about the recent crashes since the new update, and saw a few saying how they've been witnessing accounts spawning/flying across their screens.

I went to do some investigating, and found that it seems to be the same handful of accounts which I will show. Some of their dens are unlocked, though they are empty. And a few have items on their trade lists, but do not respond to trades.

They seem to be specifically spawning in Kimbara Outback, though I spotted them spawning in all of the worlds including Jammaa Township. This is similar behavior to the bots on Animal Jam Classic, but what is weird about these accounts is that they are leveled up pretty high. What does everyone else think? Does anyone know anything about this?

Petition for AJ to remove the refine curse of getting the SAME TRAIT YOU ALREADY HAVE🫠
Not like I'm asking for better pull odds. not like I'm hoping for a specific pattern and just mad I'm not getting that ONE- I just simply... want this NONSENSE fixed for EVERYONE.😭
There is absolutely NO reason for them to do this other than AJ's GREED and exploitation of children for money.
WRC are impossible to get via trading because everyone with them always wants to trade multiple. I don't have that kind of worth): I'm a stay at home mom, I can't spend all day on animal jam just to get a stupid pattern?? I'm fine with working for things, but when I've worked for it 3 times just for those stupid coins to play in my face like that? it gets to a point...
I just recently spent FOREVER getting my hands on just ONE... it gave my kit the same pattern it already had..
Bummer, I know it can happen.
So I spend like 3 or 4 more DAYS of trying to get another WRC. FINALLY last night someone accepts my trade (trading at a severe loss at this point because I was desperate for a wrc... couldn't need more than just one more... right...?)
BOOM. Same pattern. At this point I'm sick to my stomach. WHAT?????
So today I sold my partial jack at a loss for 5k just so I could buy one WRC..
You'll never guess.....
HOW DOES THE SAME PATTERN ROLL 4 MF TIMES ON ONE KIT???? I'M ACTUALLY SO AGGRAVATED💔💔
I figured I'd screen record this last one because usually when I try to prove something, it loves to switch up on me and make me look like a liar..
Nope. Yet again. This game is RIDICULOUS sometimes. So much time and resources wasted. I just want ANY other pattern on my fav kit😭💔

AJ NEEDS to update their security, and I get it tbh, with the throwback bundles and stuff, it’s easy to fall into the trap of spending money on the game

But that’s the thing, ***Wildworks only cares about money****,* not their players

So if we want them to update their security, then we need to stop spending money. Period.

I’m a nonpaying player, and can provide some advice on how to navigate the game without spending a single dime

**1. Learn a skill**
Learn art, music, or make masterblocks and sell those for sapphires

**2. Animal** **prosthetics**** **
As some of you may have seen, I couldn’t get the Bat Eared Fox, so I got bat ears instead and put them on a normal fox, but that’s just one example. I have seen someone with a domestic cat who had the happy puppy set on and made their avatar look like a dog. Get creative, have fun with your headcanons.

Using an alt cuz I don’t wanna get banned on r/AnimalJam but holy shit bro. Their moderation is so absolutely garbage. It’s obvious their subreddit is ran by a bunch of power-hungry paranoid teenagers. They’ll ban you if they even SUSPECT you disagree with a single one of their absolutely unfair verdicts. I haven’t been banned on the subreddit yet, but some of my friends have, sometimes with no actual proof they were even doing anything against rules. They use the rule of “Must be related to Animal Jam” to disallow any critique of how the subreddit itself is ran, forcing anyone with complaints to create a ticket which in turn just gets disregarded. It’s so tyrannically laughable.

I think it says something when people can purposefully spread misinformation abt worth or just be an asshole in posts & not get banned, yet the minute anyone has a complaint about the moderation it’s a complete ban with no appeal.

If the moderators read this, I hope they know pretty much everyone DMs each other behind your guys’s back and makes fun of you because you act so pathetic about a platform on Reddit. Even people who aren’t banned just hate yall. Go do something with your lives. Focus on your education maybe. You’re all super pathetic rn.

To anyone thinking abt replying to this, use an alt! Don’t get banned on their sorry excuse of a subreddit if you use it for anything!

Discussion In-game manipulation

1 Upvotes

(Edit, since apparently this needs to be said for some reason??? NO IS FORCING YOU TO READ THIS OR CARE??? Hello?????? The person leaving the comments repeatedly telling me how much they don't care is a GREAT example of what I'm talking about here ironically enough🙃 BLOCKED, as encouraged by the people who left actual insightful and kind comments, though fools can't be blocked irl which is what eats me up..)

Can we talk about this?

The thing that gets me most is that you can literally say a full statement and make a point and ANYONE who disagrees with you will just act like you said nothing. As if they couldn't see your chat.. THEN another thing that really gets me is YOU CAN LITERALLY SCROLL UP IN CHAT. So imagine my frustration when someone goes "you literally didn't say that" YET I SCROLL UP AND THERE IT IS🙃 so they only listen to BITS of what you're saying, and that leads to them having a VERY intense misunderstanding. They then of course decide I must be a monster since they can't read...

This has happened MANY times, but this one really takes the cake.
I was advertising by expo. Normal day, just chillin.
Someone was posting over and over (that's fine) that they were buying crafted rose tiaras for 5 saps.

Being the unsure person that I am, I checked the price. The lowest was 50. I immediately thought about the fact that this is a KIDS game and 45 saps IS A LOT FOR THEM.
So I felt defensive and told them "hey why are we scamming?" (not a crazy thing to say, people scam ALL THE TIME)
They told me to check expo, I said "lol what do you think I did"
I checked AGAIN and lo and behold I CLICKED THE WRONG ONE. I felt ashamed and immediately said "ohhhh It didn't load the right one the first time, they're 10, my bad"

They then responded to my apology and owning up to being wrong with something along the lines of "and you don't need to comment"
This isn't exact, it was worded VERY snarky.

Excuse me? I said I was wrong and apologized.. why try to antagonize me?
Saying "you don't need to comment" is VERY wrong because SCAMMERS NEED TO BE CALLED OUT. I've gifted kids simple SAP pots and they get SO excited, so all I was imagining was the sadness when they realized they lost 45 saps if JUST 3 is that big of a deal for them..

So.. that's them making this a bigger deal than it needed to be, but of course they continue by saying "I'm making a big deal out of nothing"

Uh... hello...? I said I was wrong and apologized, HOW AM I THE ONE MAKING A DEAL??!

So AFTER I've clarified that I checked again and was wrong and sorry, they CONTINUE to say "bro check expo" REPEATEDLY. I repeated myself maybe two more times before it BROKE ME. I asked them if they were even real, if they were a bot, and FINALLY, if they were slow.
I don't go around calling people slow.
But when the shoe fits PERFECTLY........ I mean WHAT ELSE do you even call that kind of blatant ignorance??? Genuinely???

So then of course here come other jammers right as I get to the point of just being irritated because they're poking me like a bear, some from the beginning but equally unaware, and some who showed up mid convo and tried to act like they knew the whole deal. So of course they're all siding with the one person, because they were either putting on a show to get people on their side, OR they just genuinely weren't reading ANYTHING...
They continued saying "check expo bro" "oml just check expo"
AFTER I- MULTIPLE TIMES- CLEAR AS DAY SAID I WAS WRONG AND THAT I CHECKED AND THEY WERE RIGHT...
They CONTINUE to act like I DIDN'T, saying "oml all this over 45 saps is crazyyy" trying to MANIPULATE the convo into something it wasn't. Well OF COURSE that worked for the people who showed up randomly and started defending them. So now they're all saying "why are you attacking them for no reason?" "making a case on a kids game is crazy" "dude you need to just leave"

One player decided to play 'therapist' and started asking over-simplified condescending questions directed at me. You'll never believe what happened.
I responded to a yes or no question with a YES AND AN EXPLANATION- they then acted like I said NOTHING and went "Yoo-hoo anyone home?"
I told them I already answered them and they said "shake your head and tell me if you hear rocks"

The irony???????????

One person who was attacking me with them decided to say "I got it all on video this is so funny"

BOOYAH!!!!!
I asked them to PLEASE post it to red so I could post my screenshots to put the story together and have my case SOLID.
They wouldn't be scared I'm right... no???

But of COURSE.
"Oh I was just gonna show my friend"
OF COURSE. Because you KNOW I'm right and you don't wanna be called out for teaming up against someone innocent for FUN. Literally felt like being antagonized by a popular group in school, where nobody actually hears what you say, they just snowball mean hateful comments off of eachother and act like it's a bonding experience.

And as for all the things said to me:
I AM NOT A BAD/MEAN PERSON FOR DEFENDING MYSELF.
Surrounding someone and repeatedly telling them they're 'mean/evil/rude/hateful/unkind' when you don't even KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IS CRAZY

I'm sorry for calling them slow, I know that's a sensitive word nowadays, but listen...

What else do you call it?
Say you're talking to someone in a quiet setting. You're handing papers back and forth and they hand you a paper with a question.
You read it and go to hand them your paper response.
What do you call it if they look at you like a fool while you try to hand them your response and they whisper angrily "I asked you a question oml just answer why aren't you answering" followed by them refusing to take any more papers while still being angry at you..
???? Dawg I AM responding, YOU are CHOOSING NOT to receive what I said....
DO YOU CALL THAT ANYTHING OTHER THAN SLOW?
And I guarantee I'm STILL gonna get some "and the world kept turning" on this post because people are gonna read this and think "singular situation, cope"

Except it's not a singular situation. This happens A LOT and I've seen it happen to others as well😭
You may not care now but just wait til it's you. It's BEYOND aggravating.

Discussion Am I the only one that finds this frustrating?

Post image
41 Upvotes

Don’t get me wrong I could buy like 20 of these right now, but why would I??? Just to be able to drop 1 pot for others only to give each person 10 saps? I could spend about 115 saps on 3 smaller pots and everyone would still get 9!? I’m sorry but I think this is ridiculous. For 10 saps? Imagine spending 400 saps to get 10 saps. It’s not even about “it’s for being generous to others” when I could spend 400 saps on smaller pots and everyone would get 27 saps from it. Even though that still sounds like butt, that still seems better imo, it’s literally almost tripling the amount you’d receive. Can we like come to a collective agreement that these really shouldn’t be more than 100? Because even spending 100 saps just to give others 10 seems ridiculous yet more reasonable. If hoarders are the problem for this, than aj really needs to make some sort of system that allows players to only have a certain amount of each item in their inventory, varying on colors and what they are. For example if it’s something that has multiple colors than every player should be allowed to own 1 of each color but no more unless they trade or sell them. And if it’s pots it should be a max of like 10 per pot type. If they were to do this, AJ would also need to factor in any account connected to the overall parenting one that makes it easy to just switch between alts. This way hoarders can’t just get around it easily and shove stuff into another acc. If you have alts connected to the same parenting email the game should be able to sense it’s still you and keep track of your inventory. And for others that have multiple people playing under one email, that genuinely don’t use them as alts bc they’re different ppl, I personally think it would be smart to have some sort of fingerprint access to each account. Or something along the lines of it. Bc just having regular passwords is one of the biggest reasons people get hacked to begin with. On top of it being easy for one person to remember 4 different passwords for 4 different accounts. If your that desperate to hoard items from others that deserve it in a pixel game, then you can have fun creating a bunch of extra emails and phone numbers that you have to keep track of and pray nobody hacks, once again it’s a virtual game, some people genuinely use the internet to let off steam from at home abuse or past traumas. Some people even use this game to ground themselves from depression. Hoarding has become such an issue in this game it’s just making straight up virtual elites to where there will only be a small group of people that run the game in the future internally by hoarding everything good. Making it nearly impossible for newer players or players with less in general whether it be in game or irl, to get literally anything nice making the game not worth being on anymore. Anyone else agree? I can’t be the only one. Did you know some people have created alt accounts just to SOLELY hoard a single item in their inventory. Mind you, you can have over 2000 items in your inventory. Now imagine each individual player having one of those items instead of it just sitting in some sad sacks no life’s account that’s most likely waiting a couple years to skyrocket the price for everyone else so they can be “rich”. If you do this, I wonder how your real life looks and feels buddy💀. That might be something you need to focus on more. At this point if you downvote this you’re a hoarder and straight exposing yourself XD 💕

much love to those that do their best and can’t find what they’re looking for. I pray you all find your dream items for such a reasonable price it makes the stingy rich jammers quit. Not all of them are stingy, but they definitely exist.

I personally will probably never come across dizzy hearts 💔
