And it would really take the value out of finally breeding that one elusive unicorn you've been trying to get forever. The unicorn wouldn't even be considered an ultra rare anymore since everybody would have it. Also, just because you haven't been able to breed it and consider it a HUGE stream of bad luck, doesn't mean it's the same bad luck for everyone. I got mine at lvl 16 while others have gotten it at lvl 30. Besides even though I have the unicorn and dragon right now, I don't breed a whole herd of them like others. It's the time and dedication players put in that gets them the unicorns and dragons, not the game just giving it out to certain players. I really hope you don't take this the wrong way but simply give you a whole other perspective to view it from. Good luck on getting the unicorn! I know you can do it
    Yeah, but players like myself and Brooklyn have tried just as hard as most who have gotten the unicorn, and a whole lot harder than a whole lot of people. Why should people who are not at all dedicated to the game get it left and right, and those who have tried EVERY BIT AS MUCH as ANYONE out there not? Does that really seem right to you? I know in games as in RL, luck is a factor. But enough hard work ought to get you SOMETHING for your sincere efforts. Maybe 25 is too few to kick in the 100% odds for just one, and maybe the odds after weeks of futility should not go up to 100%. But I'm saying SOMETHING needs to change to prevent all the players who try very hard but are very unlucky from ditching the game. Maybe after 10 4-element fails, the odds go from 1% (which is just a # I am using for the sake of argument - I have NO clue what the odds are).... maybe after 10 attempts and fails, 1% chance becomes 1.5%. Then after another 10 fails, it's 2%. Etc. Only for those who have tried very, very hard since day 1, 24/7, and STILL don't have what other people get their first try level 15 or whatever. They should make it so if the game is CONSTANTLY rolling a bad number for you, eventually that bad number is good enough to make the %.

    You REALLY think a game where people who work very hard are denied time and time and time and time again, where persistence and effort and setting alarms to know the exact moment they can try again, and rushing if the breed would finish while sleeping so as not to waste any hours at all means NOTHING... and where others who barely try at all hit the jackpot in the first few tries, THAT is the ideal way to set up a game? Really? A game where honest effort and persistence NEVER pay off for some people the game has decided to make unlucky for weeks and weeks and weeks on end? Tell, me in what world is that FUN for those who try and fail over and over and over and over and over again? It is ONLY fun for the LUCKY ones.

    Don't worry I completely understand what you're saying. I've been trying to get the volcamel (only to fail more than 50 times and still have not gotten it) armordillo after armordillo (and it's only a rare too..) While I've seen others get it on their 1st try. And maybe TL could add more achievements that gives you rewards for breeding. They gave an achievement for collecting coins so why not breeding? And I never said it would be "fun" for the players who aren't as "lucky." Of course you're not gonna have the time of your life by breeding fails. That being said, I agree with the "awards for trying and persistence" just not the whole "after a certain amount of times you are guaranteed an animal." And I'm not gonna sugar-coat it but life is simply unfair. Some people get something while others don't. It's just how it is :/ *Please keep in mind I do not have an intention of arguing and I fully support your opinions and suggestions*
