Yin - Yang

Hi all. New to DV, at level 15 now with 2 islands plus (unused) Gemstone island. I'm starting to bulid up more types of dragons with hybrids & boosts. Couldn't help but notice that the eight basic elements on this page are listed in a certain way. The left column (plant, fire, lighning, air) are associated with Yang in Chinese philosophy. The right column (metal, cold, water, earth) are associated with Yin.

To get to level 16 (really 17 for Metal and gemstone dragon) I now need XP. Turn to the quests. Many are to breed hybrid dragons of the "first order" (two basic elements). All of these except the Swamp dragon are a combination of 2 Yins or 2 Yangs.

For max cah flow how about make a Yin island with yin boosts/habitats, and a Yang island with yang boosts/habitats?

I wonder if the developers did this intentionally and if this idea plays out elswhere in DV?

Note: Panlong dragon (water, earth, fire, air) has 2 yin and 2 yang. Still looking but I'm guessing there are some with 4 yin and others with 4 yang. How about all 8?
