Why? Math. They give about 28 days, and the most # of bombs you can get per day without spending (or having had spent) gold is 6 (24hr / 4). So max number of bombs you can get is 168. Number of dragon pieces you can get expect to get per bomb is 2 (my average is a bit higher, but not much). 168*2=336.  That's IF you max out your daily bomb collection, which is difficult to do when you also following a Tales and need to keep your Evo chamber open for the story dragons. And also if you aren't super anal and planning your day around Dragon Story. Yes you can storehouse bombs prior to the event, but only 25, which doesn't always cover the inevitable days when you have to skip playing due to, you know, LIFE.

All in all, they're pushing me very close to leaving the game. The deliberate button placements designed to trick you into "accidently" spending gold (with no confirmation), and constant tweaking of events to be impossible to complete without shelling out money are making this game more frustrating then enjoyable these days. I already bailed on Castle Story for this reason.
