Honestly FSF at first I was skeptical of the show cap comment you made, but... I make palettes, and I doubt I'd have as many barns (and geldings to show) without the money I make from selling my palettes, which doesn't bode well for showing. Seeing how many geldings you had made moot by the cap also makes me think we need a cap increase.
Buckeye, I noticed that. My free account didn't have good placings at all with horses that I *know* should do well, at least on my prem account. It's discouraging.
FSF, the difference in profits between premium and free accounts is why I haven't upgraded yet, and don't plan on doing so until I start breeding. It doesn't seem worth the lost money.
As more players figure out what “ready to show” means, the competition has gotten stiffer, for sure. Also, the premium and free accounts being separated for shows made it harder in the placings.
For those reasons, I stopped using the barn manager to enter shows long ago. I think the barn manager is not the biggest problem with showing, currently. Probably an unpopular opinion, but based on having been showing in game for a very long time, and having been one of the top stables in showing.
My comments will probably be overlooked, but I made them anyway, as they are my opinion 😉😊
I mostly just do my own thing these days in game, for various reasons
I didn't notice a huge difference with the BM when I did my own test, but she had double the data because hand showing takes me forever. Her having double the entry count and still having about the same earnings per show is... not a good sign for her employment at my stable LOL
Yeah, BM has usually been hitting the bottle when she enters shows. I did a multi month long test of which was better: hand entering or the BM. While the overall winnings were the same, the over all profit was lower with the BM and the average placing was lower, too
After reading some of the comments in that poll, especially FSF and Versa, I'm starting to realize that my my showing problems might not be just in my head. Which is comforting
