I don't love them, but I haven't loved any ancient yet and to be frank I'm relieved (long-boring-ancient-apparel-post-anon here). Doesn't really impact my enjoyment of the site not to have ancients; it will be a long time before I get bored of creating color and gene combinations on modern dragons. (When I come up with a scry I like enough to do a breeding project for it, it's almost always a Wildclaw, because apparently I live to torture myself with limited gene pools and long cooldowns.)

This does bring me to my other big issue with ancients though - proprietary genes. In this batch, I adore Rattlesnake and particularly Diamondback, and maybe they'll be ported to moderns someday, but with dozens of ancient genes out there, the odds aren't great. (I know modern genes are time-consuming to create because of the number of poses they need to be drawn across, but I'm not saying "Modern genes should come out faster and more often, damnit!!!!!!!"; I'm saying that instead of creating new modern genes out of whole cloth, I wish they'd take advantage of proprietary ancient genes instead.)
