Dragonvale Tips & Tricks! (NO Friend Requests!)

Will we be able to breed for the LYD til tomorrow night or does it end tonight? I got one incubating, was just hoping I had enough time to try for a second. While trying I got my first 48 hr breeding time so excited finally going to have a special dragon.
 
I just got it you guys! That last post I replied to from flattsfanatic....I said if I get one more try which there it was....my regular breeding cave was done and ready so I sped up a swamp in the hatchery....last try...this was to be it! I put back in my gene theory firefly/seaweed (reverse order of the pair that got me my first 2 rainbows) and wouldn't you know it! I got it! No way will I speed it up! Haha

It's not looking good for me. :( I am down a couple hundred gems, another moon richer and still nothing. I have tried love/cold, love/storm, flower/storm, love/water and probably more...ugh. They must have put a stop on my account because I also emailed them earlier asking if it was possible to get a 2nd one but they never got back to me. Haha. I'm hopelessly doomed as usual. *sigh*

Oh comedy on GT. I remember not so long ago you being in the same spot and then bang you got a
Panlong and then another. Don't give up till the final second. There's still a group of us going for number 2. We will do what we always do. Hurry up and get yours so I can get mine.LOL. HEAD UP GIRL WE ALL BELIEVE IN YOU AND LOVE YOU HEAPS.

Dam auto correct. I meant Come on GT, not comedy. Sorry GT. I would NEVER laugh at your misfortune. Glad to hear you got number 2.

It wasn't a flippin' conspiracy - it was an extremely well conceived plan to motivate people to buy gems.

(1) Use social media to provide a leak to get things stirred up. Leap Year Dragon, 29 minutes, sell for $3.5M, game-changer, etc. (Anticipation, Buzz, Excitement)

(2) Make sure everyone is aware that this very special dragon will only be available for a very short time. (Scarcity, Anxiety)

(3) Introduce the dragon and make it very easy to get the first one. (Satisfaction, Craving).

(4) Lock the gates and make the new dragon very hard or perhaps impossible to get for a period of time. (Desperation, Panic)

(5) Open the gates in the 12th hour and make the dragon easy to get again. (Relief, Gratitude, Satisfaction - the loop is complete).

It's called marketing. I've been in it most of my life. Which is why I tried so hard to warn people not to buy a second one during step #4. The process is a good thing to aware of, especially here in the U.S. as we're in a presidential election year.

P.S. Fortunately there are other ways to market that I find more palatable.

Well all these things you list are heresay ... hence conspiracy. I don't disagree that releasing a limited rare dragon us a good way to entice people to buy gems but you have no evidence that any of the numbered items above actually happened. Even 2 didn't happen right away as it was only after plenty of people had gotten one that the splash screen came up saying it was for a limited time. And people were spending gems like crazy before then.

My point is justifying your behavior because of the actions of others is never a good thing. And justifying them on imaginary behaviours of others is just silly. You want to spend the gems because you need one or two of these dragons this very second ... then own it. Don't blame some imagined acts of contrivance by "the man".

Well, I decided to take your advice and try one more time... And got a 48 hour! LOL!!! I never thought I would see the day when I would be disappointed to see one of those! LOL! Oh well, I'm not wasting any more gems! Congrats to all who got one and double congrats if you got two! I'm just going to be happy with my one!
