Ugh, your avatar wasn't stolen. Stop saying it was.

I figured this was the best place to put this since it's talking about Avatars and Avatar Outfits.

You ever get an outfit up that you finally REALLY like and save it to show it around when you post and then some jerk suddenly IMs you out of nowhere claiming you stole their outfit or someone they know's outfit all because you're wearing one, two, maybe three items they happen to be wearing too?

I have this happening right now on another website, because I'm wearing four items on my avatar that someone else had on and I guess one of their friends noticed the four items I'm wearing, so they PMed me. "Why do you look like ____?"

.______. It just pisses me off that people think just because someone's using a few items as someone else, it means they stole their avatar outfit. I don't even look at people's avatars to get ideas for my own. I use the dream avatar creators or if they don't have one yet, I wing it.

Have you ever dealt with something like this before?
What did you do about it if so?
If someone really DID steal your outfit on here or any avatar site in general, what would you do?

I wouldn't care if they stole the outfit cause honestly it just means they can't think for themselves.. that and the site is limited to what you can wear as well. So ya.

I've had that happen to me on another site. Just because I had a similar color scheme and a couple of the same items doesn't mean I stole it. I hadn't even seen the avi I was compared to so I was like...whaa?

Mica 02-18-2011 07:55 PM

LOL, I think that's an incredibly silly thing to get worked up on. I personally wouldn't care if someone stole my avatar, because guess what, I'll probably make a new one. It'd be annoying, admittedly but it's not a big deal.

I have never experienced that though. XD

Poggio 02-18-2011 08:17 PM

XD, its a little hard you know when every one has the same set of items to buy or can afford.

Jurinjo 02-19-2011 04:07 AM

Yes it's seriously stupid. Unless by some cosmic event that two people are wearing the exact same outfits in every possible way. But creativity is limited to the people and the items themselves. Inevitably things will look similar, especially with new items. Some outfits don't stick out much because it's been thought of already and done in a similar fashion. Such is the case here. Ignorant people.

Espy 02-19-2011 04:35 AM

Ju, someone might think I stole your usual theme from during that event XD

Jurinjo 02-19-2011 09:17 AM

haha that does look kind of like something I'd come up with...THIEF! D< xD

actually you even used Zypher's Rings..hmm ironically I own all those items except the belt vest and the top wings (I think)

Your siggy caught my attention. I loved playing Ragnarok, it was one of my first MMOs x3

Mine is always different from everyone else and cuter than everyone else. :D

If you know what I'm talking about.

Not the best avatar but always cute.

Feythfull 02-19-2011 10:12 PM

no that has never happened to me maybe because things I like other people seem not to like lol but don't let it get to you as long as you like your avatar thats all that matter. I know that I see alot of avatars looking alot alike on most avatar sites.

Ginger 02-19-2011 11:08 PM

Yes, I have had people claim that I was copying them before. It is extremely annoying. I've also seen avatars that look like mine in one way or another, but I wouldn't care if they copied my avatar. Doesn't matter much to me. It's just an outfit and if need be, I would just change it to make it look better than it was when they copied me.

Uke 02-20-2011 05:40 PM

Unless you're exactly copying someone's entire avatar, I don't consider it 'stealing'... and honestly, if someone wants to make an avatar exactly like mine, I'd consider it a compliment.

I've actually had someone on a site get mad at me for copying their avatar when I was cosplaying the same character they were.

      • no i don't think this has happened to me before > u >
        sounds really annoying but i would probably ignore
        it since they are just pixels after all and i liked the
        avatar i made. but if someone stole my outfit
        i wouldn't pm them or whatever. i'd just say it out loud and
        get over it.

Reyoki 02-21-2011 05:57 PM

I've had that happen to me a couple times in the past. I'd just change my avi and get on with my life. Seriously, it's not worth having a conniption fit over a bunch of pixels.

I've seen it happen a lot with noobs when a whole bunch of new items are released and they all slap as many of them on their avis as possible, then go around saying "Look how awesome I am because I have all these shiny new items! Hey wait, you have a whole bunch of shiny new items, too! You must be trying to copy me because I'm so awesome! Stop it!"

rawkabilly 03-02-2011 03:17 PM

I think I may have stolen someone's outfit... but I'm a newbie so *shrug*

Reyoki 03-02-2011 03:37 PM

Meh, everyone's worn an outfit similar to that one before, so I think we can forgive you. *ruffles rawk's hair*
