I finally broke down and will give confetti a try. However, I'm only doing 1 pair and have put them in the corner in my land and just let it do it's own thing. My goal is to give them a try and hope I at least get an Apple Berry in the end.
In regards to the frustration, it is very understandable to feel that way esp. when breeding with confettis, and the odds are just not in our favor. However, look at Evolving's records...she has probably been breeding those confetti for YEARS! Can you imagine all that hard work, time, effort, and money that has been invested into them? So her frustration I do sympathize and also understand completely.
In my perspective, for those who want to get into confetti, understand the project is a long one, and expect frustrations. However, try to have fun with it if you can lol. This is why I am just starting with one pair and see how it goes.
In addition, if the results are not in our favor, do you honestly feel people will continue with Confettis? Until something is done to make it better (which I feel is kind of impossible), then more people will opt to not doing them, and in my perspective, there a few breeders that are working with confetti as it is because of it's "frustrating" reputation.
Furthermore, most buyers and new breeders don't buy the colored confettis because their high price tags which sometimes make them hard to sell because most breeders don't want to get into them.
Possible solutions:
Remove some of the gen traits on starter confetti.
-Make the eyes default to Mysterious/Small
-Make the default shade start with Flair
-Have 1 or more traits be shown already on starter confetti.
To be honest, I would never ever start with 2 confetti starters because of the impossible lol so I would use the most highest traited confetti breed with the starter confetti.
