Unfortunately as you said random chance does mean that there will always be a number of unlucky people who don't get a limited dragon, this has been the case with the past limited dragons and is even more true with the difficult to breed Emerald dragon. That's unfortunately just the price we pay to make the game challenging/interesting. And I wouldn't want to play a game where I was guaranteed to get everything, the risk of failure and the difficulty involved is what makes it rewarding when you succeed.

Most players have had at least one dragon which has been a nuisance or impossible to get (I played for over 2 months before I managed to breed any rare dragon) but by the same measure most players have had a few dragons which have been really easy to get. So while the Emerald dragon may be your unlucky dragon, the next dragon (Pearl dragon) could be a breeze. Don't give up on DragonVale yet especially since you still have at least one more day worth of breeding for Emerald, good luck.
