    There's been a lot of talk about draft horses, and people seem to be expressing disappointment that they're not unique enough. I had an idea that may make draft horses more interesting, solely related to their breeding. I've submitted this to the admins, and they agree it's a very good idea. I'll share it with all of you.

    Here is what appears to be the GP gain formula, without the random variance. As the formula shows, foundation horses can have huge +40 GP gains on International.



    I propose that draft horses use a modification of the classic GP gain formula, so that the GP gains are drastically reduced. This would mean more players would put in more work to advance the breed and draft horses would not be as easily monopolised like all other breeds. This would also stop draft horses from being monopolised like every other breed so easily, and it would create a whole new GP race.

    Tiny GP gains would result in a more level playing field. I propose that the GP gain formula for draft horses, without the random variance, should look like this:



    Having the top GP based on the top GP of draft horses and not the top GP of any breed would mean that from the beginning upon release, draft horses would have very slow GP advancement. Once draft horses reach 400 GP, the average GP gain for 350 GP draft horses would be around 0.5. This very slow advancement is like a whole new GP race, and by also lessening the gain of the top GP draft horses, it will be a slower moving GP race as well, making draft horses more interesting and challenging for all players.

    This modification of the classic GP gain formula for draft horses would open up a new and fresh GP race, one that isn't dominated by the already established GP monopoly. Draft horses deserve to be separated from the normal horse GP race, and a modification of their GP gain formula would certainly achieve this and keep players interest for longer, otherwise draft horses will pass as a fad once they too are level with every other breed.


    *Better safe than sorry*

    Agreed. They should be separate from the everyday horses and ponies we have. Therefore they should have their own GP race.

    Now lets see how long it'll take for people to complain that it's too slow a gain. default smiley xd

    Really? I would hate it if they came back. Their worth would disappear and so would the investment many players have put in. The fact that they are so rare and so hard to get is what makes them so special.

    Debatable as the older DAs use the older images, the newer DAs would use the newer images. So the original DAs would still have their worth. If it came back I'd like to see it as a promotional item like the Unicorn breeding item (which name escapes me at the moment). Where it only comes out during certain promos and cannot be traded in the Exchanges.

    The howrse team said that the DAs would be brought back if possible, so in my opinion anyone having bet on a bad outcome can just "take it on the chin" when they are proved wrong. Nobody said that it would be a good idea ...
