[quote name="Khimera13" date="2023-07-19 08:29:48" ] I was excited till I saw they aren’t available via gifts like the last ones had been… I hope this isn’t FR turning into a money grab like the rest of the sites I once loved [/quote] Hi @Khimera13, we responded [b][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/ann/3256724/30#post_54639557]to these concerns here[/url][/b]. I hope this information helps! [emoji=new friend size=1] [quote name="Aequorin" date="2023-07-19 08:24:26" ] Hi there, thank you for your feedback about today's breed release! To address your concerns, we are a business and a free-to-play game with employees, employee benefits, and overhead to pay. This means that we will be releasing gem breeds and items as part of our business plan. To cut straight to the point: Gem sales helps to fund the overall development of the site, our employees, and the content that all our players enjoy. We understand and respect that many of our players are free-to-play, which is why we worked to ensure players will be receiving the same amount of treasure and game-play earned breeds this year as before: Two (2) breeds. Today's gem breed release [b]is content in addition to[/b] those breeds and [b]not a replacement[/b] for that content. Players can expect the third breed earned through treasure and gameplay for this year to drop in Q4. And yes, it will be a Nature breed! [emoji=nature rune size=1] [/quote]

This is the coolest breed! I was so excited for the Lightning Ancient and now I'm fairly bummed about it being a gem breed. I understand it's how the site makes its money but also when you give out eggs/scrolls for every single one so far and then suddenly drop one for gems it doesn't seem fair for the people of that flight who have been waiting for that ancient that represents their clan. Even if it was gems for everyone else but the people in that clan got their respected eggs or scrolls that might have been more fair. The idea of releasing the next one as a treasure scroll change seems iffy because of scalpers buying them up quickly to resell for a higher price, it'll make it hard to actually get the scroll in that market. I still love this game and will end up just waiting since I don't have the money to spend on the gems, just feel bad for the Lightning clan free players who were excited and now have to wait.
