yes, because vinheim was a complete and total black whole where as soon as you entered and obtained your ring you could never leave the place..... I would expect a place obsessed and controlled by the dragon obsessed to have a hell of a lot more and I doubt the amazing sorcerer's were going to NOT venture out into the world. also there were a shit ton of dragons in the first game, almost every area had a damn dragon in it. You saw one near the beginning of the game, also, if you find the same amount or similar equipment as that of DS1 it doesn't point to it being one or the other. The rings description is far closer to actual proof than any of this. What you saw in DS1 weren't Dragons but Drakes. I don't get the "black whole, ring" comment. Nowhere does it state in DS1 that Vinheim was controlled by Dragons. They had a focus on Dragons because Dragons were the creators of sorceries, hence why dragon images are all over their stuff.
