Hello! I'm also a long time player. I have seen my Dragonium breathe fire a few of times including right before the Arid dragon was released. I don't expect it do to do so again for months and months. And, that does not bother me at all. DV is a game that rewards people for logging in frequently. I have never purchased a dragon with gems, and I've never spent real money in the game. I've been fortunate that I worked in jobs with breaks where I can login in ever 4 hours or so at least to collect, breed, or whatever is appropriate. I've missed the breeding period many time and had to wait until the Christmas event to try again. I still don't have a pedestal for the Mistletoe dragon despite so very many attempts. I'll probably buy one this season in frustration. I made good use of the DV sandbox to understand in game breeding, and I attacked each event with strategy and a detailed list of priorities... does this special event dragon only need 3 elements? yes, then I'll try that first because I don't have to deal with rainbow fails. is this dragon only available for a week? yes, I'll try it and then the other dragon that is available through the month... Everyone is so upset about the Rift, but it is just something to plan and work with in a long game strategy. Ultimately, Backflip wants money. So, they've created something challenging and rewarding to keep you coming back for the long haul. The Rift dragons are not limited. They aren't only available for a week. You can work at them leisurely. You don't have to clear the map in a day. Have patience and just enjoy the process. Personally, I think the Rift traits are just decoration. They don't do anything like earn more money or whatever. So, I will prioritize figuring out how to breed the new dragons, and clearing the map.
