The title says it all. The Dragon Tales event leaves a lot to be desired and I have quite a few suggestions when it comes to overhauling the event. A few will be mentioned on a snapshot of the current event.
Here's a few that are not listed:
1. Please stop requiring common dragons to be bred for the event. We don't have room on our islands to house them, the fails are ridiculous and it hinders breeding the Diamond Dragon for every common required.
2. Please stop requiring the rare dragon to go on quests. We have enough commons to send them on quests. Suggestion: Use Water and Air for quests like in the past.
3. Eliminate the need to hatch the Ultra Rare dragon to get the token to craft the token dragon.
Here are a few within the current tales. Look for the suggestions in Bold.
