Okay so let me rant for a second here, nothing against you personally. I'm just frustrated.
What is this eye color rant week? This is the how many-nth that I've seen? This is the third that I've replied too!
RANT OVER!
First let me start with my usual:
No Support.
Second: My reasoning is everything that @
Daxillionyx said.
Now here is my personal opinion and responses to everything.
Your first argument:

So I have these two dragons that I would absolutely love to change the flight of.
I've had them both for a long time and am emotionally connected to them, but their eye colors just don't match the rest of them.
To be able to change their individual flight would be just awesome :)
My response: I have dragons like this, I've got an Avocado/Coral/Midnight Female Ridgeback with FIRE eyes. She is lovely but would be perfect with Nature or even Arcane eyes. Guess what? I'll live, my life does not revolve around perfect dragons right off the bat. My game does not revolve around having everything handed to me, in fact I HATE when things are easy for no reason. I like knowing that I worked towards something, I feel prouder of the outcome. By giving us some type of item that will make my dragon go from Fire to Nature would feel like a cheap victory. Instead I'll breed her to a Green/Pink/Z dragon in a nature nest and get what I want. I have a friend in Nature, she has use of my nests as I do of hers.
Your second argument:

This could also be really useful for people who want a specific coliseum team!
My response: GET A NEW DRAGON! It is literally as simple as that to go from using a Plague dragon to n Nature one for Coli grinding. Again, hard work gets results, you're going to be grinding the Coli anyways, use it to train up your new fighter. Now I have no experience with a Coli so my opinion should hold less weight here.
TO HEED OF FURTHER ARGUMENTS SEE BELOW!
Here is a common argument for why these should happen.
Supporter: I want to make W character from X fandom into a dragon but I'm in Y flight and W has Z eyes so I think the site should change to fit what I want because I say so. (Yes this how you all sound, live with it.)
My response: I get your point here, I have several characters from Sailor Moon that I wish to dragonize and not all of their eye colors are purple(Shadow as is my flight.), in fact most of them are blue. Here is the whole list ad to the characters, their eye colors and what Flight's Nest I would need to use.
Mercury: Blue (Water)
Venus: Blue (Water)
Moon: Blue (Water)
Mars: Purple (Shadow)
Jupiter: Green (Nature)
Saturn: Purple (Shadow)
Uranus: Blue (Water)
Neptune: Blue (Water)
Pluto: Maroon (Plague)
Yes, it would be so much easier to simply have an item and 'poof' my purple eyed Mercury dragon now has blue eyes. Instead I'll try to become friends with several water people and offer them the use of my nests in exchange for use of theirs. This way I gain new friends and I get what I want.
Also, why should Flight Rising have to change to fit YOUR fandom's mythology/lore? Flight Rising is NOT your fandom so it should NOT be built to suit X fandom just because it will make it so much easier for you.
Supporter Argument #2: It would put a stop to people who steal dragons.
My response: It would also put a legit business(Nest Renting) out of business. Granted a lot of people nest rent for free, at least that I've seen, so not much a business but, either way. I have a simple solution... make friends! Be kind to people, a lot of people on this site are good, nice people who will give your dragons back right as soon as the nest hatches. I've seen countless Drama Rising posts where the Nest Owner has begged people to take their dragons back because the original owner isn't replying to them. Not everyone wants your dragons forever!
((I apologize if I come off as demeaning but I'm tired of this topic popping up, especially 3 times(that I've seen) in the previous week alone.))
