    The food boosts are a big reason I still go for it- and I enjoy the process of playing bingo. I like the strategy of which dragons to breed, how to get a triple bingo on a difficult board, sometimes how to even get a single bingo! I'm trying to scale back personally... I was playing bingo on 4 accounts (and got Gold Horizon on each), but I've since let all but my main account stop playing bingo. I'm also trying to reduce the gold I use, last week I didn't use any boosts until the last day when 3rd place tried to take it by boosting. So I boosted to keep my place.

    Also when/if I stop playing bingo I want enough tickets that when they release the next new ticket dragon I can get it.

    Some new dragons would be nice. I bet a Diamond Tropic or a nice Guardian hybrid would really stiffen the competition. Ya'll probably know the gaps in existing types better than I.

    It can get pretty boring without Bingo, now that we're used to it. But you make a lot of sacrifices to play it.

    Wow, I've never gotten those. I've gotten some congrats from a few lower level players in early LBs but now it's pretty silent. I guess my competitors are not that serious about it. I know I've never had to reach the echelons of 50 thousand points.

    That said given I do sometimes snipe (but after a fair amount of dedication and work), I would probably write that message on your wall right now knowing there's every possibility we will face off one day

    I should probably write that message on your wall now I do sometimes have to snipe at the end, but that's usually after a decent effort and dedication for the whole duration. It's just more gold efficient to avoid getting into a long drawn out bidding war. If there was no "boosting" and if the wheel wasn't more generous to lower ranks than the group leader, I'd probably not bother holding back and then sniping. It just makes no logical sense to self-defeat.

    Am also just realising Bingo is for those really dedicated players who have all breedable dragons. They have nothing else to do in the game other than farming so in a way Bingo gives them fresh goals in the game to keep them interested and playing. Any time they are not playing DS, they might be stolen away by a different new game. So these players are not really playing for tickets either. They just want to keep getting new challenges.

    That makes total sense. The Wheel acts like a rubber band tethering you to the ones behind. You can hold the lead and your entire day's effort at breeding and hatching might be awarded to them every few hours.

    Staying with the pack so that they expend their resources instead of benefiting from yours, is the logical way to proceed, rather than being the tide that raises all boats.

    Then again, I've seen people boost to get all of the milestones out of the way, pretty often, and then they just kinda check out.

    Whaaa? I want to have someone like that. boost to raise the tide and carry everyone else up, and then forget to compete for the final prize.

    That said one far-gone leader doesn't carry everyone else up. The wheel will only ever help you get up to a particular rank and if you're all slackers, then that one leader will maintain their lead. That's why I still boost and prep before an LB. If you knock yourself all the way out of the park one or two hours after the start, everyone else will kinda give up and the remaining players will not even try to keep up with you. Even if one or two gives chase, that still leaves the rank and file way way back. This way you can keep your lead. It's only if you get a lot of chasers, then that's when the wheel really really starts to rubber band everyone in the group up. I had this in the last FFS LB. Most of the people in the group of us were changing places for 3rd place. It was such a close race with only one or two people actually boosting, everyone else was getting a free ride. I had to use my trophy demonstration and regular prying visits to convince others I was very serious and to not go the extra steps to contend for the final prize. Only 2 boosted at the end, and we were bidding up in smaller increments.

    Thursday is about over and I still only have 60 points in the current Bingo. I have a Shoreline evolving for the battle they wish us to win, a Plague Doctor in the other Evo Temple, another Shoreline hatching, a Cloud Rider hatching, another Cloud Rider in the Spell Shop, the Wish Dragon trying to get out of Storage, and two dragons for Bingo on the Roosts. Too many things are going on at once. The leaderboard excuse to spend some gold to get some of the stuff off of my plate is welcome, at this point.

    What are the "Champion" Dragons? What level is an "epic" dragon?
