"I'm trying to spread awareness and help people decide whether or not it's a good idea to spend their hard earned money on things they know very little about."

Ultimately, it's up to the person to decide whether or not they want to spend money on any product. That's what DragonVale is: it's a product. Like Celluar said, the hype is a marketing tactic used by a lot of companies. And it works, which is why it is used. BFS has lost players because of the event, but they have also gained players. Players come and go, it's something every gaming company knows and accepts. This is why they build up hype with their games... the more people talk about it, the more likely people will at least try the game to see what all the talk is about.

It's also up to the individual whether they want to continue playing the game after a drastic change such as the breeding rules. I was upset at first, but it is what it is. Something I have accepted and as long as I can still get an X dragon by breeding X + X, I'm good with the change. They have increased the chances of X + X producing X... it's just not 100% anymore.
