I'm not suggesting that people shouldn't post their ideas here - although, really, people should post on the Dear Backflip Studio blog rather than here - I'm just pointing out that a new element is a lot more to ask for than just one new dragon.

There's another reason, too. Dragon elements are not enough on their own, unless they're Rare elements (which is why those suggestions are more logical). To fit in properly, a dragon element has to have half a dozen hybrids, and plenty of potential for further crossbreeding with the existing elements. When the Metal dragon was released, it came with five other new dragons. Many of these element ideas would be great as individual dragons, but have little potential as elements.

Finally, it is the imagination of Backflip Studios, not our imaginations, that limits the possibilities for dragons and other game content. We can make requests, but like I said, we have to understand that most of them will have almost no chance of being included in the game - Backflip will only take the best ideas on board, the ones that are most workable and fit in well with the existing content.

I guess people think that since Metal was released, new elements are going to be cropping up all the time. But that's up to Backflip Studios.
