They've boxed themselves in so that it's just event-right-after-event-right-after-event-right-after-event. They can't seem to grasp 'quality over quantity', and we've been voicing this for years now.
I even noticed the period where they dialed back and started releasing only a single monthly dragon, and no longer two of them. Finally a smart idea because it's already bloody insane with the multiple tournaments, (where now, you finish one right before/at the beginning of when the tales starts, and then *another* tournament starts again mid-way through??), the mine dragons, the 4 obligatory dragons for tales, the lb, the wes...
I love neat and unique events like this month's theme, and sometimes even the homage ones (loved the got month!), but man...i'm starting to really struggle with wanting to play anymore. No one has any place left or the resources to put these assembly line dragons that are constantly being pumped out!
There are tons of the decorations i would love to put out as well, but i've literally restricted it *solely* to lb trophies and the coin increase decos, because every single vacated space is prioritized to cram a habitat in for the 5 billion dragons.
A lot of people don't have the money to spit out over $15 for a *single* habitat upgrade, and honestly, they give players a lot less incentive to *want* to spend the money in the first place. (this is coming from an iap, veteran player btw). Imo, they've always been extremely stingy, cheap and greedy compared to many other games that i also play daily, who are unbelievably generous with their fans, which in turn, rewards them with loyalty and more revenue.
And what's worse is that there are those special limited time quests for essence where, if you complete one of the events to obtain the final dragon, you can send it out to gather some (laughably meek) amount of essence. If you're unlucky, like most of us on here are, you'll be spending *all* your time crafting/requesting neighbours for the materials needed to obtain the 'ultrararecommon' dragon, and then sending *that one* on expedition quests!
Between that and the whopping 24hrs required time to craft a single marble key and gather the essence, who even has time to get a chance to craft marble or send their special event-won dragon on a quest at all??
Man, sorry about that. Didn't expect to rant so much but sometimes i can't help it. This is the *only* game where i've always had to vent to such a degree that it makes me question why i continue to even play in the first place >_____<;;
