Well, for the first time, my accounts are in the same LB, so they are duking it out for 5th and 6th places (I was originally higher, but then the boosts went on sale). I'll reach the final milestone no problem, but no chance at the grand prize Valegram or whatever it's called because I'm in with 1 or 2 whales. As long as I place high enough to get a good amount of food and maps I'm good.

It sure does suck to get maps as prizes for high level players who can no longer use them.

This complaint has been voiced so many times, yet it is never addressed. I am a high level player and still need maps, but for those who don't this would really suck. I relate because I no longer need island parts, which is sometimes a prize (during the Tales). I really don't know why S8 can't figure this out. "Here is a complaint that has existed for years, yet we are not going to change to make our players happy. Our ultimate goal is to make our games (DS and FFS, where there are no more expansions) unplayable so that all of our customers will leave and we will be unemployed." I truly think that might be their mission statement - to put themselves out of business. Also, why do they have to keep coming up with new ways to make expansions happen? Maps, island parts, and now marble keys? Seriously - just make entire islands that are purchasable with DragonCash, since we have no other real use for it) and then let us pay for the habitats to put on it. I've never seen another game keep changing how you expand.

Glad others think so...would be nice if we could trade them in for something we can use...wonder if it would?ve doable if they fpgave us tickets to trade on at the end for whichever we need

I’m annoyed that you can’t finish these events without spending and I won’t do that.
3 hours left and I’m no where near getting the first dragon at 10,000. Totally disappointed with this game. It was never this hard to get these dragons so I won’t be playing the events for now. Trying to get the gentleman dragon was a joke I got it after 3 days elapsed from the event leaving 4 days to get any points, not happy.

Yeah. No one in my local group even reached the 10,000 milestone. I play every few hours and I finished with 7,000+ points even though I have two nests and breed and evolve as soon as the previous one is finished. I was counting on some last-minute harvest and of course I couldn't log into the game so I finished 7 points short from the 8th milestone.

If anyone's done the math, can they share how exactly to get 12,500 points without pouring money for gold? Preferably with some sleep involved and not waking up every 3 hours to do quests.

I haven't done the math. Maybe I shouldn't give up my "secret." I spend a minimal amount of gold by buying the little 7 gold boosts usually about 2x/day, depending on what is going on on my island. Pretty much every morning when I wake up, I have dragons that have finished breeding, dragons that have finished incubating, and dragons that have finished evolving. Of course, in the morning I also have the Quest points and the points from decorations to collect, plus usually food crops to harvest. So there is a *lot* going on first thing in the morning, so it is totally worth the boosts. Other than that I use minimal amounts of gold here and there to speed up breedings or incubations or evolutions that are almost ready but not quite. I always reach the final dragon on both of my accounts using this method, even though my newer account only has one evolution temple or whatever it is called. I do like to place in the top 6 locally and top 1000 globally if at all possible, so I will use the 2 hour boosts once they go on sale for 15 gold each. I feel like it is definitely worth that amount of gold to get the 100000 food and maps (yes, I still need maps).

I am in the same boat...I wont spend for boosts when all it does is moves me maybe up to 3rd since I also have two boosters who are miles ahead. So in limiting players as S8 does they actually reduce people spending because there is no use...there is no reason to move up from 6th to 3rd, the prizes are not any different to warrant spending gold.

It might be smart to have better prizes past the top 2 and give players like listed here a reason to spend a little bit. If I am under 1k on the global and 6th on the local thats all I shoot for and all I have for several of these events. Just think of the gold I MIGHT spend if these were better organized and prizes were motivating.

I'm applauding those boosters in my group. Some are well over 30k points. I'm not knocking their hustle at all. They got me to the Girlpower Dragon and from there I'm not even battling for Valegram because I got Forever with the same heart/white elements and ultra rare last year. Space is at a premium on my island. If I had it, I'd probably try to be a completist and get it but I'm happy I had enough points to get to the super rare dragon.
