Ok, since my personal boycott at the begining of the month I have not made a point deposit, I bred a couple horses (donkeys) not many, cut my stable down to 12 or 13 I think. I am still boycotting until I see some changes, but I had to make a deposit today to pay for stable fees and to enter a couple of tournys should I see the need. But I will tell you, I sure didnt feel as excited and happy about this last deposit as I have in the past months. I wonder if this mean I am not as excited about the game anymore, or if I am just still pissed about where the games at. I sure hope some changes are made to get me excited again. I miss the feeling of being excited to go to my computer and watch the races? Heres to hoping!!!

I hope you dont get offened by this but you prob will but here goes nothin. I see post after poat about how you dont like the game in its curent state and i respect that. I respect you as a person and as a player but why do you feel the need to post about HRF making change or your quiting or your killing oof horses to teach them a lesson.
The only one your hurtimh is yourself. They done care if you retire horses espec if you breeding more lol. Then to top it off you post a neg post to tell EVERYONE you made a deposit. WHY
Are you looking for s "way to go" thata boy" "you socked it to rm buddy"
Cmon ty ive talked to you so i know you have a good head or your shoulders and can find way more mature ways too try and get things changed or get youe ideas heard around here.

Tyolds, you need to understand the reality of the game, and your situation.
You came into the game at a time when HRF was giving out high SR horses like water bottles. Newbies were putting in 130+ horses into claimers, cockily thinking they could just breed another one tommorrow. Newbies thought it would be easy to dominate the game. Those days are over and now you are finding it difficult to adjust to the way the game was before that nonsense started.
Your deposit was significant and proves you are here to stay. You enjoy the game. You are just dealing with the letdown that you won't dominate. Hey, cheers to ya, many left. You are sticking it out.
The only changes needing to happen in the game happened. 1) You can't take those newly bred monsters and enter them in 1K and 2K tournaments. Not saying you were doing it, but nevertheless, can't happen anymore. 2) Breeding has returned to a level playing field. No more multiple 130-135 SR horses being bred daily. No more taking the Helen Keller approach and just throw that monster anywhere. Now, you will need to actually train your horse and figure out where it is best able to compete.
There are minor issues with the game, sure, but everyone is relieved about the changes, especially the first one Flyingdaaka referred to.

Ty was going tell you in detail what makes this place fun but instead I will tell you its the people you talk to. They provide more entertainment than the game itself. I dont know what your expecting your horses to do but you need to figure out how to train before you can blame HRF for your short comings. Your a ant at the bottom of the ant hill and you havent even started climbing the hill and your already complaining.

LOL you guys are silly...I am not offended Jimmie my main reason I posted this was I guess to tell those few that I consider friends that I will be on for awhile longer, somewhat begrudgingly. I am still under protest, so I felt the need to say why I bought points...because if I didnt I can just imagine what those who like to pick would say if they have seen all my posts and then saw that I have a million points. I could hear them now saying that my words were hollow, or my protest was short lived, etc. And I am pretty sure Mike doesnt care wether I stay or go, spend or dont, have a stable or not, but a protest only works if you continue to be vocal about your concerns. I am not a fan of a silent protest, never solves anything...I like to be that fly that you wanna kill or you want to go away but doesnt. That is why I will continue to breath my protest into the forums, pms, private messages until I feel my voice has been heard. I also dont like the violent, cussing, name calling, put down protests either, just not for me, but each is entitled to their own form of pissed off. Usually dont get me anywhere. hope that answered your questino Jimmie
My buddy Daaka--i never got a 130+ monster so I missed that whole ship. Unfortunatly...I was new when all that was going on, andI remember it, but the ship sailed without me. I havent dominated anything, at any point and of course never said I had...Sure want to though. But I am not gonna be in a position to climb the hill of dominace for awhile. As far as all the other folks who have monsters and misplaced them or sandbagged or whatever, I never real paid much attention to the other horses in the race...sounds stupid but I make sure my horse runs as its supposed to and doesnt run into any traffic. I am pretty sure I have my horses placed correctly and competitive. I only have five tournment wins which means I am not sandbagging and my horses finish in the top 4 over 50% of the time, which means to me I am competitive:) I guess that was my own personal goal for my stable was to stay in the top 4 50% of the time.
Everyone knows there are problems...is the game the way it is ok....sure it is, and people will play. I actually think the more you race and know the more things you see that could be changed to make the game better. Thats where I am at. Could I shut up and accept things they way they are...sure I could and some wish I would. But I dont tell anyone how play there game, I may not like how some play the game, but as long as no one is cheating by the ways the rules are set up and are paying their dues who are any of us to critisize. Some dont like breeding, some dont like the class system, some dont like training, some dont like sandbagging...the list could go on and on and on.
And you guys are right, deep down I do love this game and what it could be...I am probably a lifer, but you fight even with those that you love and right now (in my mind) I am in a tiff with my HRF love. lol So until my fight is over and we make up and hug it out I will most likely continue to voice my concerns, my thoughts, my bitches, and my laughs I have with the son of bitches in this forum...you know who you crazy bastards are...lmao

I need to edit my last statement...I did breed a 130 horse when I first started you are right daaka, but I was stupid and thought you had to race 3 instas and 3 tournys each age...lol obviously he got claimed right away. Man I was even more dumberer back then!!

Maybe you need to start again. Remember why you started playing the game. Wow this looks cool, good graphics good interaction etc etc. You were needing entertainment and this game did it man. Now you want more? Maybe 1 day we will get more Ty but til that day we need to take the game for what it is.

Great post Daaka, Great follow up JB.
Ty, get with Vas and others who are working on the tweaks. But understand
that tweaks are what is needed not overhauls. This game is a blast, and with
several new understandings thrust my way by these very forums the frustrations
are minimal. The biggest was "jockey AI means nothing as the result is pre determined
and the video we watch is nothing more than eye candy".
IMO $$ should be spent by HRF in developement of new products that will bring new
deposits to the game. Some, but significantly less should be spent in maintenance.
