I'll start by saying, I play on Windows, so I don't have Rares, and I haven't bred any Ethereals in months. Aside from that...

You said that it seems harder and you haven't gotten any Ethereals since the Rares were introduced. But you don't give any indication of how many attempts you've made. 20, 30, 50? Entirely possible to have that many attempts and not breed an Ethereal, even before there were any Rares.

With the oft-quoted 1% chance of breeding an Ethereal, it's entirely possible that both your previous success and your current dry spell are the result of rolling the same random dice. A much wider sampling would be needed to say anything conclusive.

It doesn't seem likely to me that BBB would have reduced the chances of getting Ethereals, because most people seemed to find that plenty challenging enough already.
