You already had the opportunity to create that dragon when you joined, buddy.
We didn't get to pick our custom progen's tert. I would not have chosen the tert color my custom originally ended up with. (I also screwed up royally on the primary because I didn't understand anything about FR's color wheel and how certain colors work with different genes, otherwise I would have never chosen Violet. My custom has been scattered to hell and I <3 him now, but also, it's annoying that had to be done in the first place.) Yes, I realize Basic is valid and Stained/Spines/Branches fixes a lot of bad terts, BUT.
Now, onto my response to the suggestion itself:
I'm really torn about this because on the one hand this is a breeding site, and there are legitimate concerns about how this will crash the dragon market and the economy as a whole. I say this as someone who's had and still has breeding projects from hell for specific color combos, where it takes freaking forever to "just breed for it".
But also as someone who has the breeding projects from hell, I understand wanting a very specific color combination that doesn't exist yet or only in extremely limited amounts, so I could possibly maybe kind of sort of IDK support this with the following caveats - if:
-it was clanbound/account-locked, meaning that like your progens, your custom dragon cannot leave your lair except to be exalted. it cannot be sold, traded, etc. I would possibly go a step further and also suggest it cannot be bred.
-it is not an Imperial, as Imperial g1s are a Kickstarter reward and it's already been explained to death on this forum why just giving everyone g1 Imps is skeezy and bad for business
AND
-it is a one-time thing for a special event, so like the eye vials, if you miss it, it's gone (and if you were here for the eye vials you know how *~popular~* that decision was [dry-as-toast voice] so if you still think that's a good idea, uh OK) OR it is so prohibitively expensive that you're not going to have people lining up in droves, like 10kg-50kg. However, I worry that more gem sinks would drive up inflation even more (I remember the good old days of 1:850 *old person wheeze*), even with only a tiny amount of players being able to afford it, so this is why I'm not expressing full support but only "kinda sorta maybe" and making a little frowny face.
Sooooo really, I can't full-on say "no support" but only "maybe with very very strong caveats" and even then, I have reservations. And again, I sympathize hard with how frustrating breeding projects can be, BUT.
Alternatively, I would support an option to remake one's custom progen.
