As a player who has been involved with Howrse for many years, I’m extremely disappointed with the direction of these changes. Increasing the number of fragments required for certain divines while also reducing the number of fragments we can earn makes an already expensive game feel even less accessible.

Receiving a single fragment from an objective toward a divine that may require hundreds, or even over a thousand, fragments hardly feels rewarding at all.

I also don’t understand the reasoning behind requiring players to manually claim daily privileges such as Breeder’s Wealth. If a privilege is intended to provide a daily benefit, making players remember to claim it every day just adds another unnecessary task rather than improving the game in any meaningful way.

My biggest concern is what these changes say about the overall direction of Howrse… Over the years, the game has felt increasingly less focused on breeding, competing, collecting, and enjoying horses, and more focused on encouraging players to spend larger amounts of passes to keep up with constant events and new divines.

I’ve continued playing Howrse for so many years because I genuinely enjoy the game, which is exactly why changes like these are so frustrating. I want reasons to continue investing my time in Howrse, not to feel as though player feedback is being ignored while we are continually asked to spend more and receive less in return.

I really hope the feedback in this forum is taken seriously.
