They won't let us "gift" dragons either, because that would lead to an indirect trading system instantly developing. I've seen it on other web games, and it's clear as day - provide the option to gift retired things, and people searching for them would offer to "return the favour" with a gift of their own. Ergo, trading occurs as soon as gifting does.

If you could just get things from friends, why bother breeding dragons in the first place? Why spend gems to try and get the limited dragons, like Celtic? Backflip makes most of its income by relying on the expenditures of people trying to get the dragons through their own efforts, so they will NEVER let us turn to other people to get dragons.
