 @ArkenstonHoarder: thanks for your post. I couldn’t agree more! Not that I think you’re going to convince anybody, but that is another issue all together.

 For me the Wiki has two functions. One is informative: at times I have found it very useful and, even after all this time playing, I still learn a trick or two every so often. The other is entertainment. Especially the whining-platform that some people believe the Wiki needs to be. And Events seem to provide great inspiration to whiners! I’ve seen people complain about an Event taking place during the holidays (“a time for family“) or outside holidays (“school takes too much time“). I’ve even seen people blaming BackFlip for staring an event when Apple screwed up an update and these early adapters had a Game Center issue and, hence, a Social Tab issue. Anytime someone has bad luck in breeding, he may get on his soapbox and declare that BackFlip has become greedy and changed the breeding rules or percentages. And there is always, literally always, a number of people who claim that, whatever displeases them at the time, will affect the loyalty of long-term players and that BackFlip will end up losing money. I’ve even seen someone who believed it necessary to post his whining on several different pages of the Wiki – all for the best of the game of course! As if the people at BackFlip are a bunch of amateurs that have their paycheck depend on sheer luck…

 Just as long as a vast majority keeps on enjoying events, with or without spending money on it, enjoying the challenges and, perhaps, even the frustrations, it’s unlikely that BackFlip will listen to the raving, ranting and whining on some Wiki. Of course they listen to feedback from players and end up giving us The Great Dragon Faire, after which they go back to business as usual.

One thing on your math. Fishboy is right: this is not how it works. What you could say about the chances of getting, in this case, a Pharaoh Dragon at 6% chance per breeding, is that after about eleven attempts 50% of the players will actually have gotten one. But even after 37 attempts 10% of the players will not have gotten one. And 37 attempts is a lot of Gems (or a significant length of time during BEB).
