It's the trade-off for metal dragons since they sell for so much Dragoncash. It's like Plant dragons since they have lower (normally) sell prices but higher earning rates. The caps are to further balance this trade-off since starting off with a Plant Dragon in a habitat that could hold well over the 10,000's would make the game too easy and thus making it unappealing, The metal dragons have a high buy price since the update was made with the veteran/senior population of the Dragonvale fanbase and community in mind. Though the newcomers aren't completely left out since they have more dragons to aim for and look forward to once they level up enough! I think that the calculating side of Dragonvale has done well for this new element. It makes it possible and easy but not too easy for one to lose interest with this new update and disregard it as nothing.


 * also, seeing how this update is STILL new, Backflip is most likely just getting started with a new element in the mix!
