It seems that the traits also factor into breeding for the Rift dragons (Blightwing, Kampos, etc). Those combos seem to require not just specific elements, but also a specific trait.

I think the purpose of the cost of things in the Rift (while, I agree are ridiculous, especially at the on-set) is so that people who have been playing for a long time (myself 6 years) have something to do for a while, not something they can speed through.

Also, I think in the long run, once we get used to the Rift and how things work, it won't be so bad. I think a lot of us are so used to everything being easier the longer we play that we forget how hard it really is starting new. The Rift is basically that: a new park that everyone is starting new in. I think we have to look at things a different way. In my honest opinion, they're still not forcing IAPs. You just have to have patience and not try to do everything in the Rift all in one day. From what I read, breeding costs reset each day. I'm not sure about the price for clearing (I honestly hope those reset, but I'm not that optimistic).

The Rift is something to be done over time, just like when a player starts DV for the very first time. I just hope they don't have any limited dragons that require the Rift anytime soon. That would be crazy.
