yeah, back when i first joined, if you snagged a cool new gene early on and a couple hatch now scrolls, you could gene up a new pair, have a nest, and sell a new dragon for close to a mill, if not more. now, crystal/facet/glimmer (which used to go for 900k with good color combos) are closer to 30k, if you're lucky. and people just aren't buying. so you exalt. i mean, you could train them up and exalt for more, but it's just not worth it in the long run.
