Ah that's actually really nice way of seeing it.
I'm like super poor though so I'd never be able to afford one lol. xD
I have a lot of trouble saving up treasure and just end up blowing my tbt to buy treasure (why life why).
I'm kind of getting into the gen one thing but it'll be 5 million years until I can actually save up enough treasure to buy the gene scrolls. xD
Yeah. : D I feel like their appeal isn't immediately obvious because it's pretty heavily obscured by the main goals of the site (get pretty dragons and new items). It's kind of like working backwards? I'm not sure, but this may be why old dragon collecting isn't big for users until they're a few months into the game. Yes, they cost a lot, which is a big deterrent to newer folks. And then they cost more to pretty up. Most old dragons are definitely not instant gratification (depending on what the end goal for them is).
Never be too sure about them being out of your reach right now, though, sometimes you can get lucky and find them for really cheap in the AH. This is how a large number of my dragons came to me, actually, I don't have the funds to actually pay full auction price for aaalllll my 5 digit dragons. xD; Especially now, since prices have just been going up and up and up.
Well done on starting on Gen 1s, though. xD Congrats, you're on the road with a bunch of us, on the way to being perpetually broke.

dat master post xan <3
but yeah.. i prefer quality old dergs rather than filling up my lair with impulse buys
xD I've been on vacation for the past week, so it's been a little harder to get online for any length of time to wall of text at you guys.
And yeah, it's a little harder to impulse buy oldies because of their cost. Probably good investments, though.

Also, I found a dream dragon I never knew I wanted (mainly because of her colors) LOL the user really wanted 1kG for her which I thought of course was too much since she isn't a double or something but no matter how much haggling I did for the past few days, they never gave in. xD I'm so happy that I got her though.
I plan to turn her into this:
I want to turn her into a wildclaw but when will that ever happen.
Nice purchase! Your dragons/future plans are always so lovely. o: She's going to look great with the rest of your dessert lair!

Pretty good! That looks like a great haul, especially for not going all out trying to get a ton of everything. I am so in love with the new apparel~
I was kind of in the same boat; I had to do aaalllll my NoN stuff in the first week because I went on vacation the second week. My flight home is today.
