Actually, the OP has a point. If you have two Rust or Magnetic dragons and breed them together, there is no problem using their eggs for making DragonCash. :) Quicksilver, Copper and other long waits won't get in the way at all as long as you plan ahead. (If you can't breed two Metals with two Lightnings, put them in hibernation and replace them with four Magnetics. You don't even need a new habitat.)

This is like Quake and Crystal - lightning dragons generally have short breeding times but earth dragons generally have long ones, so we get one of each - 6 hours and 24 hours. Backflip has decided that due to their high selling price, metal dragons should generally have longer breeding times, so we are now seeing the opposite side of the coin.

If this kind of thing happens, you just have to bite the bullet and come up with a new strategy. This is one of the great things about DragonVale - you get new stuff all the time, and all of it has an effect on your plans, so you have to rethink and reinvent your game strategies. It's a constant and enjoyable challenge.
