Controversial suggestions, opinions needed.

I strongly disagree with the claim that colts should not be used for stud with their new owner, you no longer own them. Once we get the option to, you can just geld them. It is unrealistic to prevent others from using their horse for what they wish to. The colt is your hard work, yes, but you no longer own or control them.

[CRUNCHY IS THE BEST]

I agree!

I agree with everything said. One reason I went inactive for a while is because I lost interest in setting new goals because it became the same thing over and over. Breed. Sell. Train. Stud out. Rinse and repeat. I also think that if your account hasn’t been active for, less say a year, it should be deleted. I see so many nice horses that are for offers only in the market and the player hasn’t been online since 2017. I also think that there should be an account owned by the game that maybe players can send horses to that have good stats etc. so that other players can use them. I also have many of other ideas, but some I have already expressed and Larissar and Tom have responded so I won’t put them here. However I will try and find the topic if possible.

I agree with this so much

[Emlyn]

I agree...

I agree that it should Cost energy when you enter your horses in Comps. I disagree and agree with the Geldings because if you have very old horses that are private lines you wouldn't the line bred with others that arn't your mares. I agree with the Money for poneytokens because it gets hard to get them.

Hello! I have couple suggestions that have been on my mind for a while.

1. Geldings.
I really can't understand why this feature doesn't exist. WHY????
It allows people to sell off unneeded horses without fear of losing their unique line to a stranger. I'm a big breeder with several years of experience, and I can't sell any of my colts because I have zero control of what happens to the horse after it's sold. If my colt ends up on studs, someone else will benefit off my hard work without my permission.

2. Competitions should cost energy (just like breeding).
This makes horse's performance important. There's no reason to breed better horses to compete now, you can enter 10.000 competitions with adopted horse and earn the highest title. Isn't that weird? Breeding consumes energy, the next logical step is to make competition's cost something as well. This will make competitions harder, but it's how it should be. One horse won't be able to dominate everyone just because it was born early and entered in thousands of competitions over the course of months if not years. This will boost breeding as well, because breeding one ultimate horse won't be the answer anymore, and champions will retire(especially if they're geldings). Consequently, players who don't have the ability to train horses fast, will ask others to do that or invest money into their own accounts, because the younger the horse is and the better it is trained, the more money it will earn.

3. Rankings should be reset.
This should be done to make two previous points work as they should, or #2 is absolutely useless and even harmful and #1 is not as effective.
Rankings are all false now (except World Records), they don't represent the horse's abilities, just that it was there long enough to accumulate insane amount of points. You can adopt a horse and make it #1 in the game if you have enough time and patience to enter it in all shows every day for months (or years).
If there's a cost for every competition, ridiculous megachampions in every discipline won't exist anymore. If champions retire on constant basis, there will always be the need for new, better horses, there will be progress, competition, new names, new bloodlines!

4. New ways to spend money and other improvements.
I have 80kk on both my accounts and I don't even try to earn money, I have nothing to spend them on. It would be ideal to exchange money for PT, even at very high rate, like 1kk = 1 PT or something like that.

I'd like to have bigger pastures and barns, 24 or 36 or even 50 horses instead of 12. It's not comfortable to manage big breeding projects when you have 15 small pastures and need to check them all every other game year. I'd pay anything to reduce strain on my fingers from constant clicking. Regular pastures are not enough, why not make bigger ones and allow people more flexible management of their farm?

Also, I think sales ads should be time limited and there should be an option to sort out offers only ones. If I want to buy the horse right now, it's tiring to read through dozens of offers only posts which have been there for months. Marketplace is covered in old posts from inactive accounts. Search system is very lacking, with such a complex breeders report it's very hard to find a particular stat or their combination. I think there should be at least the ability to sort and order by HGP and certain stat's color.

That's all I have to say for now. I know that some of my points are quite controversial and require lots of work, especially wiping all rankings, but I firmly believe it will do good for the game.

I agree with all you said but maybe make pony tokens slightly cheaper to transfer for money because we don’t all have like a million $ all the time but maybe $500 = 1 pony token?

[Farant]

That's ridiculously cheap. In-game money are very easy to obtain, if you have a grinder, you'll get thousands of $ quickly.

I guess

[Aurelia]

I agree. Haven’t ranked top yet but I’ve adopted horrible horses and made them winners. And geldings definitely. Don’t want anyone stealing my work.

Hello! I have couple suggestions that have been on my mind for a while.

I feel like I might have replied to this before and I actually can't remember if I have so I'm just going to reply again! Possibly with updated opinions.

I strongly agree with this. Perhaps only living horses can hold rankings? And player rankings should maybe only count for points/money/winnings from horses that they both currently own that are alive. I also think world records should be divided into all-time and currently living and then divided further into mare, stallion, gelding, spayed mare, all horses.

4. New ways to spend money and other improvements.
I have 80kk on both my accounts and I don't even try to earn money, I have nothing to spend them on. It would be ideal to exchange money for PT, even at very high rate, like 1kk = 1 PT or something like that.

I disagree with money to PT, even at such a high price. We use PT for three things: wearables, AC horses and premium accounts. Not a single one of those things are necessary to excel at this game (although premium accounts certainly help!) It is surely not cheap for Tom and Larissar to make and run this game and so I really don't want for an extra source of income that helps keep the game running to be removed.

I'd like to have bigger pastures and barns, 24 or 36 or even 50 horses instead of 12. It's not comfortable to manage big breeding projects when you have 15 small pastures and need to check them all every other game year. I'd pay anything to reduce strain on my fingers from constant clicking. Regular pastures are not enough, why not make bigger ones and allow people more flexible management of their farm?

Agree! But, if I remember right, the small pasture size is so that the game can run on phones and tablets - which, I mean, fair enough to make the game more accessible but this game is rather arduous to play on a phone or tablet. Maybe larger pastures can be edited to be less intense on phones and the like and then can still be used? Like, no pictures of the horses or pastures on phones, just the text with their information - but it should still work normally on computer.

(Also, you might find these keyboard shortcuts help: [ctrl] + [left mouse button] will open the link you click on in a new tab; [ctrl] + [w] will close a tab; [ctrl] + [TAB] will switch between tabs from left to right.)

Also, I think sales ads should be time limited and there should be an option to sort out offers only ones. If I want to buy the horse right now, it's tiring to read through dozens of offers only posts which have been there for months. Marketplace is covered in old posts from inactive accounts.

YES! AGREE! Also, if we get genetic testing, it would be nice if we could sort based on gene code - like the way sales in Furry Paws works.
