Please create a deco egg turn-in for mature egg reward

  I agree that the current drop rate for a Mature egg is way, but way too low whether one tries the Hidden Chests, the Matriarch fight or the Nests Treasure Maps.

  
  

  And this extremely low drop rate, I seem to understand, is even when using very high Luck !!

  
  

  While chatting about the ongoing Event with another player, I was told by a veteran player who was doing Hidden Chests with maxed out worn Luck + Luck Statue + Luck Clock (something like a very high total of 5,500 Luck for an hour if I understood it correctly...), that there did not seem to be much differences from the used Luck in getting Mature eggs to show up in Hidden chests... not even stealable effigies seemed to be more likely to appear when using that much Luck for an hour as compared to not using that much Luck when off of the Luck Statue and Luck clock...

  
  

  I get the impression that, if Luck gets factored in as a bonus to the drop rate, this bonus is probably very very low (+1% ??), so low that it does not have much of a practical result in getting Mature eggs or stealable effigies to finally show up.

  +1 on this request. A limited time high demand item like a rideable dragon should NOT be based on RNG. Maybe I just have a bad taste in my mouth from Mistas and steadily grinding it the entire time with multiple accounts to never get an obelisk, but at least the obelisk is just deco. 
  
  @Community Manager - Are we able to get an update from @Parallax about the deco egg "collector" he mentioned 2 weeks ago?
  
  Since Parallax's update 2 weeks ago I've been saving my eggs I get from the nests or the matriarch and I'm reaching max storage on all my houses (even a new one I just placed with an account I resubbed).

  They could use the dragon turtle mechanics to grow and hatch a rideable dragon. Time to incubate could be linked to the quality of the egg. Flawless eggs could hatch faster then an ordinary egg. Damaged and cracked eggs of course wont hatch anything.

  
  

  I only support the egg turn in idea because keven has gathered so many eggs. Other wise i'm in favor of hatching them.

  Wouldn't it be easier (and faster) just to turn up the spawn rate for Mature eggs across all their sources of spawn... Hidden Chests, Nest Maps and the Matriarch drop ?

  
  

  Just saying...

  I said the same thing during Mistas event.... then proceeded to go the entire event without a single Obelisk. I said the same thing for the "Purple/pink" mares and it took over 2 months (and many totems) to get my only one.
  
  The hatching idea is actually pretty creative and would be cool. I do think that might be more coding to do but I like it.
  
  This is an assumption but I'm guessing it's less work to throw a vendor up that accepts eggs. I think a good happy medium would be to treat these eggs like the fractured veil points we got from doing the event on NL.... you have a chance at getting a mature egg by doing the event (ie chests / nests / matriarch) but you can also collect points (eggs) that at X amount allow you to buy stuff.

  What about have a damaged/cracked egg that you can incubate that has a rare chance at a mutated color?

  While doing Matriarchs on Atl, I've gotten over 600 drops, At least 400 eggs. Scores of trees, 5 Clothing, 1 Mature egg. 
  
  Maybe 1000 eggs gets a dino skele.  If they are just giving away rewards, why do I bother playing?

  Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.

  Well, different people have different ideas on what playing could be... yet, there could be players who might argue that repetitive, rinse and repeat same activities "farming" for long, long times, in a computer game, to their liking, might not be enjoyable "playing" but merely a necessary, repetitive activity to get something in that game achieved... 

  
  

  Of course, it depends on who one asks to... yet, I wonder if this might have anything to do with some players using scripts and using BOTs to get things done in the game which would otherwise take too much of their time to get done... oh well...

  This whole event is rinse and repeat.  What are you talking about?
  
  I like the Matriarch on Atl.  I can shop, get a drop, shop get a drop, Rinse and repeat.

  Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.
