I don't think anyone is upset about a Gold dragon being on sale. Gold dragons are awesome and worth every penny. It's the timing of the sales that is eye-roll worthy. The leaderboard is a competition where whoever spends the most gold wins. The whole point of this event is for TL to sell gold and make money. Now, with these carefully times sales, they are trying to get people to buy on impulse, or targeting the players who are desperate to win. It's manipulation.

Putting the coral statue and breeding roost on sale halfway through the event seems to indicate that gold sales for the leaderboard are not hitting TL projected goals this time. Maybe most players have finally realized the futileness of trying to keep up with the big spenders. If people just play for the event milestones and not to win the Tropic Tide, TL makes less money. Hence, the gold push.
