You know, you're completely missing the point. Just like so many people here. There's a simple way to not waste gems on limited dragons, and that is to NOT SPEND THEM. The Sapphire is going to be around every year; it's not disappearing forever! So try your best for one month, and if you don't get it, you don't. There is absolutely no need to spend a single gem on this just to get more chances within the limited timeframe.

If you think about it, having your chances raised after buying gems would be a lot worse--THAT would be BFS encouraging players to spend real money on this game. What people fail to understand is that buying gems doesn't raise your chances of rare dragons in the least; it only gives you a few more opportunities to try. Which is just a waste of money. If spending real money on gems DID make your breeding chances higher, THEN I would be pissed, because I would feel obliged to pay. As it is, every player has an equal opportunity to breed limited dragons, whether they choose to spend money or not.

So therefore, the simple solution to this problem everyone seems to be having is to not use up their gems in the first place. Just breed your dragons, wait out the times, and try again. It's just a matter of patience. And no, it probably won't earn you every dragon in the first month you try. Whether you spend money or not, you probably won't get the one you want. That's why they call them "rare". But the next time it shows up, try again then. And then the next time. And keep trying until you get it. But DON'T spend your money, fail to get the dragon, and then moan about Backflip "screwing" you. It's completely unreasonable.
