Sales often do precede something special. But this is just a quickie sale in the middle of a weekday when fewer players are likely to discover it. If it were solely greed-driven wouldn't they be more likely to offer the deal on a weekend to maximize the number of buyers? They may just be offering to help people who can't afford the new island or who need to recoup their dragon cash from island buying and obstacle clearing. I don't spend real money on events, but I do use my birthday and Christmas gift cards when there is a deal, to stockpile DV cash and gems for everyday use and for those inevitable surprises. Surprises are a lot more fun when you have plenty of the readies on hand.
