gollark: Would *you* like several PMs a day begging, cajoling or harassing you?
gollark: I mean, it might be lots of people, in a harassing fashion.
gollark: <@480213740499894283> It might actually be due to a "value ceiling" sort of thing - there's not really anything rarer than a Neglected which is available to the wider DC community - so they can't really ask for anything but several neglecteds.
gollark: Yes, that is indeed true.
gollark: They're certainly fairer than prizes!
