Game rewards anything for hatching dragons with certain type combinations to rewards for defeating a certain ammount of dragons with a dragon of a certain rarity.
Alliances in the game are extremely competitive, despite the rewards for active participation being lackluster and the activities needed for alliance rewards oftentimes clashing with the activities required for events. Players will either be stuck in inactive alliances or immediately kicked out of active ones if they're unable to play and contribute for even just a day.
More effort and more money spent typically equals better dragons, better chance at clearing events and better ranking in PVP.
YES. If it exists in the game, there's a timer for it. Growing food, generating gold, playing events, leveling dragons, empowering dragons, fighting in either PVE or PVP modes, breeding dragons, hatching eggs, etc. There's even timers for watching advertisements.
Players can purchase gems that can be used to skip the myriad of timers in the game.
When you open the game, several pop-ups with offers will appear in succession. Some of these are offers that accept gems as currency, making it possible for players to accidentally purchase something with the scarce premium currency.
Its version of the season pass has a regular and an "elite" version which is extremely expensive.
There is a shop where players can spend gems and real currency on chests with various different rewards. These chests have very low pull rates for useful resources and rare dragons.
The most effective way of getting dragons a player desires is by the trading of orbs with other players.
YES. Constant extremely short-lived events, most releasing powerful dragons with good abilities and stats, as well as several extra rewards that make progression easier, as well as items that allow players to empower pre-existing and new dragons. Being away from the game for a long period of time means months-worth of progress lost and inability to keep up with the PVP metagame.
