Hey staff! Long-time member here. My own 5-year anniversary on the site is coming up in a matter of days.
I and many other members of the community feel that the eyes update looks amazing, but we also feel that the implementation is, frankly, very poor.
The new feature is RNG-dependent, and we have no way of changing it except for the use of another RNG-dependent item, which will permanently retire in three days.
Please consider that many of us run activities like hatcheries and breeding projects on the site, which will now be affected by an element completely outside of our control. We would love to have, if nothing else, a scroll to be able to revert eyes to Common typing.
However, many of us feel that there are more adequate solutions to the problems introduced with this implementation. For example, scrolls for the various eye types, continued ways to obtain the scattersight vials, or breeding items to induce eye types in hatchlings would be excellent ways to grant customization with these changes.
Thank you for reading. We really appreciate all the work you do to make this site so fun for all of us.

Personally, I just want an item, sold for treasure, that can "purify" eye type back to its default state. However, I think that an item like this is very important indeed.
I find the RNG element to be quite special, but people who just wanted red eyes on their dream dragon instead of having the dragon's face covered in boils (to give an extreme example, haha) should have some recourse!

I'd like to at the very least see an eye variant remover that gives a dragon common eyes. Primal, faceted and multi gaze can be hit or miss depending on the dragon or mess with lore so something that lets you go back to basics would be very nice.

Super support!
I imagine a reversal/revert scroll would work similarly to a Remove Gene scroll,
[item=Remove Gene: Primary][item=Remove Gene: Secondary][item=Remove Gene: Tertiary]
I imagine a reversal/revert scroll would work similarly to a Remove Gene scroll,
Remove Gene: Primary
Specialty Items
A scroll that will reset the Primary gene of one dragon back to its Basic color. (NOTE: This item does NOT allow you to select a new primary gene color.)
1000
Remove Gene: Secondary
Specialty Items
A scroll that will reset the Secondary gene of one dragon back to its Basic color. (NOTE: This item does NOT allow you to select a new Secondary gene color.)
1000
Remove Gene: Tertiary
Specialty Items
A scroll that will reset the Tertiary gene of one dragon back to its Basic color. (NOTE: This item does NOT allow you to select a new Tertiary gene color.)
Support! I have quite a few thoughts on this (all stand-alone, though they could stack if and where it works):
1. If it's going to be random based on breeding, there should be a permanent remove eye-type item.
2. The eye scatterscroll should also stay. Not sure what the current droprate is, but it could be increased to elim/apparel drop levels. Maybe even keep them as brewables under the same principle of upping the time needed to brew. Or add as a Gem MP item.
3. I think I much would have preferred if this were just a quaternary gene. What if Primal type should be the only one you could get via breeding? The Uncommon/Rares should be contacts or a gene, and then of course gem/treasure tiers like genes.
4. Make all the eye types purchasable just for these 3 days.
5. Make *all* of these contacts. We already have the Marva contact set, why not just add to the collection? Unlikely to happen since the idea's already dropped, but hey.

:D Yup yup. The new eyes are awesome but it'd be nice to have an item that restores eyes back to common for people that want it.

Definite support for a "revert to common" eye scroll if nothing else. I'm neutral on whether or not the eye-scatters retire or scrolls for each eye type but a "revert to normal" is absolutely needed.
Mostly because 95% of my breeding projects are for fan dragons that...can't use any of those eye types (as cool as they are!) and if I happen to get a dragon with the rare color combo I've spent ages breeding for and it has bug eyes I can't fix I will...probably cry. 8'D
