People have been private messaging me asking why I never do Leaderboard threads but I'm always on top of Dragon Tales. I'll answer that question and this will be the only time you fellow caretakers will ever hear me call the event by its name of Leaderboards.
I do not create Leaderboard threads because the event is divisive and a poor way to conduct a community game. There's too much division already going on to see it in a game that's supposed to be relaxing and pass the time. In addition, to win you have to be sneaky and outdo other players in your group which backfires a lot if the algorithm puts snipers and swindlers in your group days after the event starts which happened in the last 2 Leaderboard events I sort of participated in and don't let me see "characters" in the group, I just give up altogether.
I'd really like to see World Events return where the entire community work with each other to obtain prizes. Plus World Events were the only event to give Marble KEYS and Adventure Tickets. Why hasn't Dragon Tales caught up with that I'd say it would have me baffled but that lie would be a disservice to all of you. It's cut and paste for Dragon Tales. While it's kind of smart to do for such an involved event, there needs to be way better prizes for it.
World Events need to replace leaderboards, period. Spin To Win needs to come back in it's old form of dragons, coins and food and make it its own event . This would eliminate the parity between iOS and Android. I also keep saying discontinue 200 of these common dragons if one is needed for these events. Duh, you have a codex for the collectors. Drop 100 essence and, boom, they can get irritating dragons like Neo Bubble, Sunrise, Volt and other garbage. It'll clear the muddled breeding pool and possibly drop enough bandwidth interference to bring locked out players back into the game. Hopefully the developers are close to ending that nightmare.
Back to Leaderboards, now you see why I don't create threads for those. I'm hoping those get discontinued like the Aether Dragon. Division is not good in a divisive world. Like I say, bring back and create new events that bring players together. That'll be all I will say for now. I tried as hard as I could not to insult the event because there are that 10% of players that actually do like Leaderboards and I can't knock them because of a freedom I like that America has - the freedom of choice, the freedom of speech. Thank you Dragon Story Nation and good luck in all events.
