@hamadrys: RE: Lack of Updates
Though I am am iOS player, I can understand your frustration to some level. When I started DS and MS, I was on an older iOS device and my game exhibited all the trouble issues that other Android and Kindle players were experiencing from force-closing to severe lagging to being completely unable to visit my neighbors, etc. Updates or not, my game was rather unplayable just because of how resource-heavy the game was for my device. If I was upset about that, then I can only imagine how it would feel to see everyone else getting updates that you aren't getting on top of it.
That said, I have hope that updates will be coming and as such, I am waiting for those updates myself alongside everyone else who is waiting as I have refused to do any feature-related updates (save for Album and Storage which pretty much updated without me realizing) until everyone else can get the same updates (which, again, I have hope will indeed happen!).
So yes, enjoy the Dragons we can collect indeed.
