Okay, let's do the math on this.

Say you are on a team and produce tear-bred skillor foals as your way to make passes. Right now, it takes about 3x if you are lucky to get a set of skillor twins. You have used 2 passes worth of items on every try, at a minimum - a fertility want and Atears. This of course makes no mention of the AP or MA you have used on the mare to do all these breedings.

So now we are at 6 passes minimum per foal. Right now, top foals sell for 8 passes. OF COURSE the teams are going to raise that price to account for the tax being put on the sale. With the going price as is, the seller is making less than a 2 pass profit.

Now let's see what the buyer has to do -

You buy your skillor foal for 8 passes currently. If no items in inventory, it will cost you a minimum of 18 passes to fully dress your skillor to have the ability to maybe win the prix. This does not factor in the cost of a Pstroke. So, with purchase price, you now have 26 passes invested in your skillor. Flipping it before the prix is out of the question as you will take a one pass loss. So you enter the prix, win your event and collect 8 passes. Now you try to sell it for 25 passes, hoping to make a 7 pass profit. Unlikely you will find a buyer for that price so you'll probably end up making 3-4 pass profit for your work. YAY! But what if your skillor is not an EC booster or Prix breed? Welp, too bad for you - it is worthless.

NONE of this is being addressed by these changes. I have considered this the main problem on this game for years. Ten breeds only have the chance to make a ridiculously low profit, if anything at all. The rest are simply screwed.

I have been on this game since 2007. Left for a year because of the complete nonsense that was the vaccines. And now will probably leave again. I am an Ambassador and don't take quitting the game lightly. But along with the fact it has become the MOST EXPENSIVE game on the web to be competitive, the powers that be have refused to address what is wrong with this game time after time. Instead, the main focus seem to be on "cheating" by a small fraction of players - much of which is cause by their own ridiculous rules - and selling, selling, selling passes with hard-sell tactics.

The game is no longer fun. Period. I have spent thousands of real dollars on this game. I didn't mind, because I had fun and the discretionary income. However, I also do not like getting ripped off and that is what this has come to. I will not be quitting alone, either. At least one other huge pass buyer will be quitting with me along with a moderate pass buyer. Long time players who have gone beyond disgusted.

Play for free? Sure you can. Your "free" 10 passes per month can be used for VIP - best rate = 9.5 passes per month, EC employees = 10 passes per month, and the ever constant promos which ceased to be winnable for anyone without passes a LONG time ago.

Oh, and the piggy bank? Hilarious. Tax the **** out of your players for selling horses, then ask them to PAY for the bonus you'll dole out. Disgusting.

does anyone know what the price of the brooch will cost?

Sorry guys I genuinely tried to look but couldn't find any info, what do we know about the Thanksgiving cards promo?

And of course there is the prize draw at the end which you can enter if you have 2 golden horseshoes. To earn horseshoes you need to active 3, 13, 33 and 63 different cards.

Also the prizes for each card puzzle are:
Puzzle 1: Bonus Pack
Puzzle 2: A foal from a randomly selected breed
Puzzle 3: Poseidon's Pack
Puzzle 4: Horn of Plenty
Puzzle 5: Golden Apple
Puzzle 6: Titan's Challenge
Puzzle 7: Themis' Scale

What is the horse either chimera or wild that will be in the thanksgiving card promo?

The tiger one is already available on this server is it not?

the Chimera in the Cards is the Tiger, which we do already have on this server. Usually when the Cards has a second Divine that's a Diamond Card prize it's one that we already have.

These are all of the prize cards, although I'm still missing a few
