Frustrated, burned out and bored

[jus7_me89]

The biggest difference that I've noticed is that in the past they've come out with some dragons that aren't that difficult to get and some that are, now, ALL of them are really hard to get, so hard that you could probably spend 40-50 dollars per attempt and still not breed the dragon you want, that's just too much, I don't know who has that kinda money but I certainly don't.

that's right ! they release 2 new dragons every week ( to be honest i am completely shocked to notice that it's Tuesday and they didnt release a new dragon yet. ) . the splitting elements thing si a very poor decision and makes it even harder to get the dragons we want. we have commons like island, magic, poison or luck with a HUGE breeding time. i dont even bother to try for the new rainbow because i know i will end up getting TONS of poisons and islands. i used to buy gold every month ( between 250 and 530 ) because i loved the game but now i dont feel like i should do that anymore.

Agreed. I used to to do the same thing, buy about 500 gold a month, I was okay with that because the gold actually helped. I was actually able to get the dragons I wanted for the most part, but now... I could buy 500 gold a month and have nothing to show for it, that's just throwing money away.. I can't do it anymore, unless a change has been made and the official teamlava team alerts everyone of the change.

I'm about there. I've been trying to breed a gemstone dragon for almost two months now and it's getting old. I'm not spending real money on a game for a side quest!

No where does it say that when you use gold to speed breed, you're going to get the dragon you want within so many tries.
Dragon story is like a casino, it's a gamble and it takes time to win, how much time? You never know.

I would say take a break from trying to breed that particular dragon, or use a different combo. You'll eventually get it, without using real money.

I think we all know speed breeding doesn't guarantee anything. But when you spend gold it's just that much more annoying than usual to not get what you want.

As far as trying for a different dragon? Been there, doing that. After a while, changing from breeding endless Corals to breeding endless Poisons to breeding endless Firestorms just loses its charms.

And now this new, apparently unwinnable, tournament is pretty much the proverbial straw. Difficult can be fun. Impossible? Not so much.

I don't see it as being impossible. I think for some people, they just need to take a break. :P

Well if you are unable to get certain dragons with speed breeding, think about the people who don't speed breed. Must be an even more frustrating endeavor for them, right? It's been suggested before: play for fun, not result. If you can't do that, buy dragons outright/spend lots of rSal money speed breeding or delete.

I don't speed breed and I rarely get new dragons but I don't get frustrated.

Guys, people have certain expectations from the game and how they play it. These are personal reasons, and people can't help themselves being frustrated at certain things, which I get. Coming over here and telling them not to be frustrated, it's a game, blah blah blah, don't play etc really does add absolutely nothing to how they're feeling about it.
It's not like they're going to feel stress-relieved thanks to your kind words... -.-

Here's an example. I go ballistic when I'm in a shopping line and the person behind me is standing so close they touch my purse or shopping basket. This might not annpy most people but it gets my hairs up in a bunch, so much so that eventually I'll glare and, if all else fails, downrigh growl at them to. Back. The. Heck. Away.
Simple as that. Gets on my nerves, and if someone tells me "oh personal space is underrated, it's not like you'll catch a comtagious disease just like that, and they're not slowing you down in line or anything" or some other thing to belittle my frustration, I only get more irritated.

Same here. "Pfff don't spend gold nork nork" doesn't really add to anything people are complaining about (well, written in the terms that I've been reading... Youse guyse do know y'all can be nice or sympathetic when talking to someone, right?)

This thread is for people who are frustrated to drop in and shout out. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, sure, but being stuck on the same key of "well just UN-FRUSTRATE YOURSELF but I'm not coming up with a plausible solution because hey, after all this is a game of luck" really doesn't do anything for anyone.
We get it. You guys think people don't need to spend gold. If they do and feel irritated for not getting results, just quit the game. That's your input? Wow. Okay. -.-

The saturn dragon was back for a while and I whalloped a bunch of my hard-saved gold on it, but kept getting boody magics, genies, tricksters, cosmics, and a freaking peacock. WRONG SUPER RARE. Ugh, sometimes this just gets so frustrating i want to scream.
And I don't appreciate people telling me not to be frustrated (unless they're being comforting, because let's face it I am already stressed for a number of resons and don't need some smart allec telling me it's superfluous) because it only gets me more riled up.
At least be nice about it. If you can't, at least tone down the trolling. It's not people's fault we can't help feeling vexed sbout the whole situation. There isn't an off switch. We're looking for either sympathy or the input of people who go through the same, not someone who downplays this as us being overly-expectant.
I'm all for people giving in their opinions, but... Just... Some REALLY don't help. Like, at all. Neither do they help nor do they add any content that we don't already know. Duh.

Yes, I am rant-ish today.

And I meant eclipse dragon. The eclipse was back for a few days, ha. Three days. That's nothing especially when you have magic fails.
