With all the folks who're commenting on not (taking a break to turn OFF auto-correct - wow) getting their LYD, or with spending so many gems, et al, I just wanted to point out that it's really these short-lived time-limit dragons which create such a sense of immediacy and causes this.
We didn't know how long the Panlong was going to be around until folks started stressing the YEAR part of it, and so we kind of relaxed and enjoyed the pursuit.
We didn't know how long the Love Dragon was going to be, but knew it couldn't be all year. So there was a rush there, and gems spent like mad. But it was also far easier to breed, which seemed to assuage that.
Now the LYD, despite the word YEAR also in its name, and we're all freaking out to breed one no matter the cost. BFS hints that this Leap YEAR Dragon will only be around a short time, which makes us all terrified we won't get it, so we spend and spend. Sart business practice on BFS' part.
We're all still fairly nonchalant about Moons and Suns and Rainbows, because those don't have any kind of time restriction. Which seems a whole lot more fun, to me, less stressful even if likewise less thrilling to finally get one.
I think we've all seen that BFS has turned up the chances of breeding any kind of rare, which makes it easier to get the LYD, which is nice considering it's got such a theoretically short shelf-life; kinda balances things out.
Just my thoughts.
P.S. Poppy, you hiring?
