I just want to clarify, No one is MAKING you play, right? Nor forcing you to pay? :D

I think Dragonvale is doing an excellent job of testing your patience, and apparantly, yours is starting to run thin.

It boils down to your first point here, Backflip needs to make money to pay the salaries of their team. If players don't want to spend money, they don't have to. You can still play the game without spending money, that is an option. The player would have to accept that and learn patience.

However, SOMEBODY does have to pay real $$ in order for the game to continue. And the devs found a way, leveraging players obsession with collecting everything and creating events.

If a player has a full time job and doesn't want to waste time on events, they have the option to buy a pack of gems or star bits, it would logically save time and money. If dv is taking valuable hours from your homework and work, then just spend one hours-worth of pay, and you don't have to waste time collecting.

Your point about kids being shut down with vicious comments is def not nice, I haven't seen this transpire, but that is not tolerated on the wiki regardless. I do know that the moderators/admins do a pretty good job at keeping things civil on the wiki. If someone was vicious it needs to be reported and they would surely be banned/suspended from the wiki. I think we (wiki users) tend to have productive discussions and nerdy, yet intelligent, arguments about the game.

Also, You must be 13 in order to participate, and I think a thirteen year old can argue their position on a video game, maybe even better than a grown adult. If not, they should learn how to have a logical debate about something and this would be a good forum to learn how.
