I don't know the reason why they haven't done this already but many people ignore ancient world because of it, having to continuously click 'craft it' to make a single ore which you then have to get more of for the next one and so on to summon better ancient dragons. They should make it so we can craft lots of that ore not individually. Ofc to make it balanced they should increase the Platinum required to craft it, something like tax on top of the original price.

I think Ancient World was the victim of staff turnover / company changing hands. As a result, it has gone by the wayside and has been somewhat neglected. Fresh new developers come in with new ideas and take the game in a whole different direction.

Eventually, they will get back to it. Just not today, lol.
