I think they've made it harder to win gold in the colosseum. I used to get gold all the time with level 15 limiteds (used ones whose first element matched the colosseum event), but now I get more silver. So I'm guessing you need level 20s to win gold consistently now that they let you upgrade shrines with gems. Has anyone else noticed this?

By the way, I have enough to do that I haven't bothered upgrading my shrines for gems, so I don't think people who did the "grind" the old way really need to worry that new players are getting a "shortcut." I only need 2-6 more dragons on all of them except metal, so I don't mind waiting for more dragons to come out for each element. It costs so much money to raise dragon levels (and my park isn't set up to make fast money anyways) that it's kind of pointless to upgrade them right away. And money I would put towards treats is being saved up for the last island right now.
