DragonTrip, this comment was for those that have not given any appreciation and only had negative things to say. Although you may say thanks for the candy, others here have openly criticized and even called for a redesign. If you ever travel outside of your own home countries you will see that the world is full of different looking people adorning different kinds of dress. Some of it may even according to personal tastes be unappealing or even offensive, its called diversity. If we all looked the same the world would be a boring place indeed, the world of DragonVale should be equally diverse. To criticize how a thing is made is paramount to bullying, no different than making fun of a child with red hair and freckles or a culture that places bones thru their lower lip.

And this is not just for the Sapphire Dragon, it's for the Ironwood, Malachite and all the opposite hybrids too. There has been too much criticism about how they are designed. If any of you here have even a base knowledge of biology, you know the foundation of genetics. And if you don't, just look within your own families and compare the differences and similarities as you branch from parent to child, to grandchild, and then that grandchild to uncle or aunt to their children and so on.... Two parents only have so many physical attributes that can be shared with their offspring. But those offspring (hybrids) when paired with others have many more to share therefore many varied outcomes. A Plant and Metal Dragon can only come out a couple different ways. So to complain about them being a rehashing shows a basic lack of understanding of "breeding" which is what this game is based on, breeding lines of dragons.

To the Anon, if my directness in my challenge hurt your sensitivity, let me put it another way. I triple dog dare any of you to put pen to paper and do a better job. If any of you could, I'm sure you wouldn't just be playing the game, you'd be Making the game.
