[/quote] This would go over just as poorly or worse than the initial eye update as genes are a larger part than than the eyes and what if the hybrid gene is just perfect for a sentimental dragon you already have and you couldn’t get it. As it is people constantly ask for currently ancient exclusive genes to be ported over to modern dragons, breeding exclusive genes would be far worse

I can only see this to sort of work if it's a clan-wide feature. IE, some perks unlocked after the clan bred a set number of times/offspring as a whole and this perk can be used on all dragons in the clan.

Also, the site value of any dragon is the same - they give you the same amount when exalted and bred/unbred had never been a feature for bonus. The 'value' you're talking about is purely player-driven, and asking the site to steer this free market into a certain course after so many years of freedom will just cause riot and no benefit (to the site).

no support. bred dragons certainly aren't worthless and there's a large market for them. some people will pay more for a gen2 imp, some people will pay more for an XXX with gem genes, and some people will pay more for an unbred g1. who cares? yes FR is focused around breeding, but it's not the only way to play, and it's not harming you. dragon worth will always be subjective.

No support at all.

First off, there are already advantages to breeding your dragons. The advantage is you get more dragons. There is no need to encourage dragon breeding further.

Second, breeding dragons is only ONE way to play the game. One of the best things about FR is how it doesn't try to lock you into any one type of playstyle or force a playstyle onto you. Some people like breeding dragons. Some people don't. I don't like the implication that my playstyle is somehow "morally wrong" or lesser than yours.

Absolutely no support, ever, for locking ANYTHING behind breeding alone. In fact, it's probably one of the very few things that would make me seriously consider leaving the game altogether. I firmly believe that everything should be available to every player regardless of their playstyle.

Edit to add: if something like a 'skills' feature were to be implemented and locked behind breeding and number of offspring, I'd personally be very, very upset. I'd definitely feel like a playstyle I don't want was being pushed on me. I'm an all-G1 lair, and the vast majority are unbred. I like it that way. It means my dragons aren't connected to any others and it makes for a very clean-looking page. Also, like many other players, in-lore most of my lair is LGBT+. Many of my dragons have same-gender partners in lore, and I'd be absolute incensed if they were locked out of a new mechanic.

No support. Breeding-only features went down terribly with the original eye type update and we don't need it again. Breeding is only one part of the game and trying to "fix" people choosing not to participate in it based on morals and the concept of virginity (ew, I'm not going to go into all my issues with that, so just, ew) is just going to make things worse by fixing a nonexistent problem, on top of just being really judgmental. Bred dragons still have value. It's just in g1s that breeding them tanks their value. Outside of that, it's really not very important. [quote]*Additional battle stone slots. I will gladly take a dragon with 10 babies that can have eliminate AND meditate.[/quote] You... can though? They're different categories of stones. There are builds specifically using meditate and elim. They're pretty popular.

Umm..no thanks. You'd be punishing players for not breeding their dragons when that is an entirely optional function. Locking stuff behind something not everyone does is an awful idea

The only "value" set by staff for dragons is what you get when you exalt them... therefore the only thing I would support is that being altered ie, exalting dragons that have been heavily bred could result in a higher exalt payout or a chance of an item dropping.
