Starscream (Mod) said:I rarely lineage make. I can gift other things So I'd not be missing much. I collect - specifically I hoard.
As for Multiclutch, I hated it. I hated breeding any of my special favourites because they could shoot out multiple eggs. I do not mind it at holidays and I tend to breed my stuff reasonably freely expecting it to go out, however there are 1 or 2 of my special favourites I refuse to breed on their season because of the multiclutch. - Special attachment. I'd probably breed the dragons I don't have particular love for such as my inbred or messy lineages old pinks and frills.
When it comes to Gifting I like to gift on my terms and my terms only. I do not gift because people expect it or even demand it. I often take note of what people are looking for, because I am not particularly crazy about lineages, I can spend some time in the AP searching for things these people want. I am very generous to my friends and to randoms who do not expect it.
I know for a fact many people would ignore the DO NOT PM messages people try to place on there profiles, signatures and scrolls. I have had people say to me "I read your scroll warning but... could you breed me....." my answer will always be no.
It's not that I do not want people to have "luck" getting low gens, but when it comes to my dragons and my scroll I have the final say of who and what I breed and for whom. I dislike people thinking they are entitled to my low gens. No one is entitled to anything I make, and some people will find this a truly hard thing to swallow. Some people may think I am harsh, but I am very strict in real life and I am just as strict in game. As I said before I do have a set of scroll rules, I also "practice what I preach"
I also, for the record, do not subscribe to "everyone wins" concept that has become popular during the 1990's. I would consider what most people are asking of low gen or prize winners to be akin so expecting a person who won 350 million to give half a million to everyone that asks because "share the wealth". I will share the wealth to whom I feel deserves it, not to those who demand it.
TJ has also stated fairly clearly that prize dragons have been more successfully breeding than commons. People think its unfair if I would cease breeding my dragons if we multiclutched? I think its unfair to be forced to provide for everyone.
