I know it sucks having a dragon expire when another event is going on, especially when it's a dragon that needs crafting and the event also requires crafting. However, I don't think TL thinks "Oh yeah, we can let that dragon expire at this time to force people to spend gold" (well not with the crafting dragons anyway).

We are given about a month to get parts to craft Battle Arena dragon and Mining dragon. They expire the following month around the same date as they are release and they expire at the exact same time every day. Battle Arena dragons always expire at 10:30 am PST (PDT currently) and Mining dragons always expire at 10:00 am PST (PDT currently).

Lots of people that play the game often are able to craft 1 if not 2 of these crafting dragons before the deadline. Of course people that don't play much do find it difficult to get them in time but that is just the difference between people that play often and people that do not.

I'm sorry you missed out on this dragon (so did I) but when it comes to the crafting dragons they do follow a pattern of release and expiration. So, as long as you are aware of the pattern and try to get the dragon before they announce it will expire they are some of the easier to obtain limited dragons in DS.
