This is tough... I'm a completionist / decorator / family guy, with a "balanced" approach to displaying my completion while maximizing income. I'd have to go other because I really do feel like I span multiple categories, but if I am pushed I'm a completionist.

I chose Other -- I am completionist for dragons only. I really don't care if I get the eggs or not. I'd LIKE two of every dragon -- adult and baby. But I'm willing to start with one and fill in over time. I do get some eggs because they are pretty and some because they are cheap ways to open up higher levels of prizes. Etc.
I used to be Addicted. But it was burning me out of playing so I'm back to just the one account.

Changed my vote to Eventor. The in between stuff really is a bit boring. Had it as completionist as I am trying for all dragons (one adult and one baby) and all eggs (cause I have nothing better to do), but it's not that fun when you're so close and all but one dragon is unavailable to breed. But events... thems got me hooked like maple syrup on pancakes So, long story not so short, I switched... which I guess would have been the short story had I stopped after the first sentence
I think I must be an Extreme Completist, tempered by my Stress-free, Decorator, Addiction. I don't have everything yet, but that's my ultimate goal. My islands aren't completely decorated; at least one is a mess. I don't worry about getting everything immediately; this game has taught me patience, & Backflip is so generous with the BEB events. For this poll, I'm going with Extreme Completist.
I am a Completist who are most interested in my Eggland - with both ordinary and twin eggs - but also try for all dragons and twins of those. I refuse to put eggs similar to each other on the Eggland. I hide them on other islands just to be able to show I have got them all. ☺

(Just as an aside, too many Rainbows actually limits your income, because you only get 2/habitat. We are limited by habitat numbers, not dragon numbers. You would be far better off switching to Portents, a Dream habitat full of Portents earns an additional 64% of what a a rainbow habitats full of DRs does. Dream dragons are +54% vs DRs)

The most pleasure I get is from decorating and trying to get 2 dragons ( one a twin, baby or adult) and one egg and keep one of any chance twin eggs. I like watching the dragons and admiring the art and craft of BFS in dragons and decorations It's a great de stressor from my job and as much fun as my home garden landscaping Has taught me patience lol

I'm mainly an extreme completionist, but I'm also a decorator. While I'm collecting my dragons, I might as well make my park pretty! At the moment, I'm trying to collect two of every dragon- one twin, and one regular. All the twins are going to be babies, and the regular ones adults, so I'll have one of every baby and adult (not bothering with juveniles as most just look like adults with oversized heads). I also want a twin pedestal for every dragon. I'm not bothering with decorations at the moment as the number of decorations you have isn't recorded at the moment. Maybe BFS could make a decorationarium?

Somewhere between regular and extreme. I have to have two of every dragon and an egg, one of every dragon would never be enough. I want to be able to breed additional ones whenever needed.
I'm also half way to a full twin set, so an option of 'Two of every dragon, one a twin, and one of every egg' would best describe me. There's no way I'm collecting twin eggs, I have one full island of nothing but eggs and I'm not willing to give up a second for twin eggs. I started to do it, and broke my habit by selling them all.
I'm sort of a cross between Regular Completionist and Decorator. i go after one or two of each dragon. But I only collect the fancy eggs. I'm casual about the twins. But only actually pursue them if nothing else is going on. All of my islands have themes and are decorated accordingly.

But rainbows are much prettier than the dreams. My FOUR rainbow islands with 84 rainbow variants rock. But that's it all. I have an island of 32 dreams. 60 olympics in Olympusland. 56 sun/moons. 36 seasonals on seasonal island whos decorations change with the season ,and I only have 12 treasure and apocalypse cause their earnings suck.
Math.
1. Currently the longest breed is double rainbow/double leap year at 60 hours . At level 20 the double rainbow earns 966 dc/min and the large rainbow habitat with 2 dragons earns 1932 dc/min. 2. A rainbow at level 20 earns 755 dc/min. It's large habitat with rainbows only earns 1550 dc/min. 3. The large sun/moon habitat with 3 blue moons is at 1785 dc/min. 4. A dream (50 hrs breed) at level 20 earns 744 dc/min. The large dream habitat with 4 dreams yields 2976 dc/min. 5. The Olympus habitats can store 5 dragons which means the Elysium (a 48Hr breed) now is at 595 dc/min which gives a giant habitat earning rate with 5 dragons of 2975 dc/min.
I'll stake my king Midas gene is bigger than yours magpac. And they all are at 19 or 20. Shall we duel and calculate earnings. Bring it on.
Ps. I mean this with the aloha spirit and in joking jest.

Looking for party hat friends. Pm me for Facebook Id.
My aim is to have two of every dragon, except the gem dragons, of which I collect one each and multiples of any I especially like.
I used to collect eggs, but a couple of years ago, when space became tight, I sold them all, except my favourites, and no longer try for them.
Now I disregard the earning potential of the drgaons, as I have billions of cash, and like to have some habitats with multiples of my favourites: Bronze, Delight, Apocolypse, Stygan, and many others.
I get quite stressed if my Dragonarium isn't sparkling.
I collect twins but not obsessively. If my dungeon is full, I will replace fed up non-twins with twins and feed them up to the level of the sold one.
I don't display dragons I find ugly and have no intention of feeding the banished dragons past level 15.
So basically I guess I'm a collector of two each regular non-gem dragons plus pretty eggs.

I agree your Midas is bigger than mine (Btw, 4 Portents in a Dream Habitat is 3164 dc/min)
But my mid-term goal is to have 2 of each dragon on display, so I'm just about to begin reducing the size of my DC earning collection, as I'm less than 2 weeks off my immediate goal of having all my epics at L20. I currently have 226 epics at L20, and only 30 left at level 19.
I currently have 9 Apoc habitats (26 Apocalypse dragons, easy and quick to breed, decent earners), 7 Dream habitats (14 Dream, 4 Portent), but I've been slowly putting other duplicates in the hibernation cave as more dragons are released.
I am about to embark on a big rearrange, so I can get seconds of other hybrids out, I have at least 1 of all the hybrids already on display at L20.

I like chasing the snorting, sparkling dragonarium, but realize it can never be permanent. Patience and persistence have served me well in collecting dragons - two of each, one a twin, plus one egg, non-twin. Selling off the partial twin egg accumulation. I used to acquire at least one of each decoration, but one ugly decoration broke me of that! Have been known to spend hours happily rearranging my islands. Always glad to manage Granddaughter's park for her. Spent so many years hoarding/saving gems that I often have to ask myself "what have I been saving them For?" before I spend my riches. Apparently I've become too rich again because I'm starting to get Silver in the Colosseum- must sell dragons, buy food, feed up dragons, sell dragons.....
Have I checked all the boxes yet? Why can't we check all the boxes?

I lied- I'm collecting decorations too. I just couldn't resist!
I chose - Other - as I am a R.E.C.! That's right, a Recovering Extreme Completionist!
At one time I did have every Decoration. Gave that up a while back.
Usually have a smokin' park with new Dragons and Pedestals acquired in short order.
Here is my current quandry: I am planning on redecorating my entire park from scratch and am thinking about selling off all of my Twin Pedestals. They take up so much space and even factoring in the two new Islands, things would be cramped. That being said, what if I sell them and then BFS makes it a goal? Or what if they take my suggestion and give us an alternate park for our Twins and Twin Eggs. I would be crushed if I had sold them all off. I actually have more Twin Pedestals than Twin Dragons because when there wasn't enough space or storage for dragons I kept them as eggs instead. Wish I could now turn those Twin Pedestals into Twin Dragons.
So what should I do: sell? don't sell? Help fellow Valers, you're my only hope! 🤖
