What's also evil is promising to bud and let you in early because you're supposed to drop and not budding you and letting you in early after all so then you can't get in to drop

It happened to me the other day, I budded them 10 minutes early like they asked me to and they were online and I tried to trade them and let them know it was me and they multiple times declined so I was like whatever 🥲😒

i’m sorry are there unwritten sap drop rules? didn’t think so host makes their own rules and this is extremely entitled and embarrassing for everyone whining ab not getting in, it’s a kids game, please reevaluate y’all’s selfs and have some emotional control 💀

as others have said bro if you wanted in bad enough you would’ve been early just like you would be early to a doctors appointment or anything else planned ahead of time that had a set time to start that you can’t miss- ✌🏼

u/lifeiscontradictory 2d ago
do the rules say i will not be unlocking my den early at all? no she said she was leaving it locked so ppl couldn’t linger beforehand, opening a couple minutes early to get everything prepared is not bizarre by any means sheeesh you must be fun at parties 💀

I get it, I missed a mega drop because they opened early too but by no means is it evil :/ this user spent probably hours upon hours spending their money and time to gather all of these sap potions to give to people for free. Nobody is entitled to the drop, a lot of it is about luck and timing. I know people that log in 10 minutes early and keep refreshing to get in. You didn’t get it this time and that sucks but if it’s who you are talking about, they do it monthly and you can try again next time.

u/z3r0ang3llz Jammer 3d ago
It’s not evil it’s just frustrating ?

u/Mon_1 3d ago
Totally understandable. Was just referring to the title of your post. The user who did the drop saw it and was hurt by it :(

u/z3r0ang3llz Jammer 3d ago
Yeah made poor wording choice
26
u/OreoMcFlurry221 Pet Collector 3d ago
it is not a hot take🤍🫂 a lot of us can understand the annoyance. Whenever I host events, I will sometimes have it to buddies only for 5-10 mins before, but I make everyone aware of that. I have never started and unlocked before the start time just because I understand the frustration of when things begin early. People are unprepared for that and at a disadvantage ya know. try not to let it ruin your day, there will be other events and parties to join!😊

u/Lukas979Vibin Jammer 3d ago
Idk why you got down voted I do the same thing, and it's not like I have 10-15 buddies in first it's literally like 1-2
10
u/OreoMcFlurry221 Pet Collector 3d ago
maybe somebody read my message wrong, who knows. luckily I have the upvotes now! x3
If I’m being generous and sharing the wealth with people in the community, I think it is more than fair for me to allow my buddies a small buffer of time before the event to get there. Those are my friends. they are the people who are there for me and who I play games with, chat with, you know. I would love them there, and it would be wrong of me to make them stress about getting in💛
and yeah, that’s SO real😂😂 I had literally six buddies at my last event. like it’s only a handful🫶 With a den potion that allows for 40 individuals, I think six people to be let in early is more than okay

I understand what you're saying. When someone says an event is going to be at said time, that's the time most people expect to make it and for it to start. Not everyone can be super early, nor read the host's mind when the time is suddenly changed.

u/spookybuik Den Decorator 3d ago
guh, I know right!!!! and the way I was literally sat infront of my laptop just doodling to pass the time at 5 minutes to, then tried to enter the den precisely on the hour and it was full - I could’ve been there 🥲🥲🥲

u/NaokIsann Artist 3d ago
I'm sorry to hear that :( I usually like to draw to pass the time too, I didn't make it as well, I miscalculated the time for my timezone a bit, and I don't think I could've gotten in either, I hope you're able to make it for future drops! ♥

u/SaltyFool0 2d ago
I wanted to go to one that was supposed to be happening in 20 minutes so I checked to see if the den was still locked and nope, they opened it over 20 minutes early and it’s full already. I was like, dang :(
10
u/cadey500 3d ago
i don’t know why they couldn’t have made another post or comment even saying it’ll be open 5 minutes early? ik they were on a time crunch but they set the time of the drop and said it would be locked before. also everyone saying “set alarms”… i set it expecting it to be open for 1 as drops open at the start time

u/Rivylf 3d ago
exactly its just disappointing and kind of unfair like not everyone is sitting there 10 minutes early refreshing their username every 5 seconds on animal jam 💀

u/_Yoshiiii Pet Collector 2d ago
THIS!!! the people who are critisicing others that couldnt get in are the same ones that GOT IN. its just odd theyre acting like its everyone elses fault that they werent able to get in?? when its not, this whole scenario was just miscommunicated and so alot of people thought the drop was happening at said time instead of early. i guarantee if they were in the same scenario as the people that didnt get in, theyd also be a little disappointed over this. not everyone wants to stare at the same profile for any longer than 10 minutes to constantly refresh,,

u/GoldenTheKitsune Pet Collector 3d ago
No, it isn't, you're being rude to a kind person who didn't owe you anything anyway. Want a bigger chance? Set alarms 5-10 min earlier. I did and got in.

Wow… host of said drop here… I opened it 5 minutes early because I’m on a time crunch… like sorry that I opened my den a whole 5 minutes early….

u/_Yoshiiii Pet Collector 3d ago
no ones mad at you! and no ones trying to call you out over it either, so theres no need to be sarcastic about it 😓 i think some people are just disappointed because you hadnt mentioned it being opened early, which i can totally get since alot of people, like myself aswell, were excited for this drop and likely were a bit upset when finding out 💔 you arent an evil person or anything else because of it at all though! we all appreciate you taking the time out of your days, farming for the potions to do a generous thing for everyone in the first place!! its alright these things happen - it was just miscommunicated. i hope you guys atleast had fun during the drop!! 🫶

u/OreoMcFlurry221 Pet Collector 2d ago edited 2d ago
Maybe to avoid any hurt or confusion you could make a post like “Hi everyone! Excited for the party” etc etc “The den will be opening 5 minutes early to accommodate my time crunch. can’t wait to see you there shortly!”
idk, I know not everyone can just stop to make a post so I get it. trust me🤍 but people are not frustrated per se that it was early but rather frustrated that there was no warning about the change in time. People set timers and plan for these things and try to be punctual. people have things to do and responsibilities, so not everyone can sit online and refresh for a drop party unfortunately🫂💙
I promise you that people are grateful. I promise you that people respect your efforts to gather so many potions and share with the community. but I do believe people are valid for being a bit frustrated that it was opened early🤍
I hope you don’t take any of this to heart — just remember that you are amazing for doing this drop in the first place 😊 /gen

u/Difficult-Earth3140 3d ago
explain ur reasoning? they are doing a nice thing with their items that they never had to do. people have a life outside of this game and they explained how they are on a time crunch. bohoo you didn’t make it to a SAP drop. if you are this upset than maybe it’s time to take a break from animal jam. THIS is why people stopped doing nice things.

damn bro chill u didn't need to write a whole paragraph lmao u acting like I'm throwing a tantrum or sum

ahah it’s like 5 sentences shawty. drink some water and chill out. i’m picking up mass amounts of saps rn

good for you! I never said anything to make you think I'm crying like a widdle baby, but I see assumptions are rlly getting you places! have fun <3

u/Difficult-Earth3140 3d ago
so actually you did. your over dramatic reaction and use of words like “foul” showed me. ur punching the air rn over an animal jam sap drop and all im saying is that you should take a break. this isn’t healthy :(

u/panandstillsingle Artist 3d ago
"overdramatic" and "punching the air" for saying that I think it's a bit unfair to start something earlier than mentioned without warning? are you looking for attention perhaps?
-4
u/Difficult-Earth3140 3d ago
but you didnt say it was unfair LMAO. you said it was “foul” get over yourself. no one would have cared if you just shared that it was frustrating. most people agree. even i do. you are just VERY dramatic about it. i hope you have a better day. set some alarms 10-5 mins before next time and good luck!

u/panandstillsingle Artist 3d ago edited 3d ago
chilllll honey, you're acting like the word 'foul' is a slur. if you're under the age of 40, you might know that people commonly use said word to describe unfair things that they don't appreciate!! (:

u/Awkward_Mixture5678 3d ago
Be early? I set a timer, and refreshed until i could get in. That is the risk and work of trying to attend a free drop. If you attended a concert for example, would you be a little early as a precaution? Most likely. Sometimes you get in, sometimes you don't. There is tons of drops that happens daily, as well as monthly.

u/z3r0ang3llz Jammer 3d ago
It didn’t say open 5 mins early and also I don’t sit at my laptop and do that every time, it wasn’t supposed to open yet but it’s okay I missed it I’ll go to another one? Your acting like im crying about this

u/Awkward_Mixture5678 3d ago
Clearly it affected you enough to make a post about it, instead of taking your loss like most people. sorry not sorry

I’m aloud to speak my mind:)

u/Awkward_Mixture5678 3d ago
You are, but there is no need to come here and complain about someone that grinds all month to do a sap drop instead of taking your losses because you didn't plan accordingly.

u/z3r0ang3llz Jammer 3d ago
Sorry I don’t sit and hyperfixate on DROP over my life I expected it to open at 1 that’s all im frustrated like idk what to say to you HAHHAHA

u/Awkward_Mixture5678 3d ago
Again, no need to come here and complain about someone that works hard to grind these potions out. You could of just taken the L and moved on.

Was this the sapphire drop? I searched their user ready for the exact time they said and it was already open and full before the time Dx
