The point with the DragonVale vs KnD... it was impossible to breed the rainbow dragon. Much like trying to fuse Black Kal and White Kal. And yes, you COULD buy the dragon outright there, not here. So yes, there is a slight difference.

But what was happening in KnD, was that you could conceivably level a toon/armor high enough to kill the Epic Boss level 15, craft the armors, and then have an almost guaranteed chance at an Epic. That is a failed mechanic. Epic's are not meant to be had by all. Otherwise, they'd give the new Epic from Guild Wars to every tier. But they didn't. That means, reserved for only a handful. That is the way the rest should be.

As far as the chests go. Its like playing the lottery. If you haven't noticed, not everyone wins the 100 million jackpot. If you're lucky, you might match 2 or 3 numbers and get your money back. The luckier they are, the more you make. And technically, you ARE getting something guaranteed. Lots of EP feeder armors. But you want Guaranteed EPIC armors. Nice try. Not going to happen.

Or, ever buy a pack of baseball/football/basketball/WoW/Magic/Pokemon/YuGiOh/Whatever cards? You are guaranteed you'll get the listed number of cards/armors on the package/chest. That is it! You want the Gold Hologram Michael Jordan card? That is 1:2500. You want the Spectral Tiger Mount from WoW? That is like, 1:1000. You want the Jester's Mask card from the Ice Age expansion from Magic the Gathering?... you get the idea. Cards/Armors/whatevers aren't super rare because they are in every pack and everyone has them. You pay for a CHANCE every time you buy things like that.
