I don't mind doing fetch quests and you can still skip only 3 a day so I will always try to do the easier ones no matter the payout so I can reserve my skips for the really annoying ones
I know they are supposed to be a money sink but the old system still didn't pay exactly the same amount for catch 25 vs 50. It's one of the reasons why I always skip gelding quests over 25 because the payout is not worth it for me and I don't use geldings so they are worthless to me.
Yeah I agree that as the capture quests get more expensive/elaborate the payout should increase too. Otherwise nobody will bother. For capture 400 there was a payout of over 100k - which isn't much compared to the investment, but if you have been working slowly towards that goal over months maybe then 100k in one setting is still pretty decent. Not to mention the 'capture a P horse with a pattern'
San, weird... but that's still so little, even the old system gave more, and that HEWG show one changed from under me, and i've put a ton of work training a horse and entering too many shows xD
