*Player charms

I did a bit of searching and didn't see this suggestion.. but forgive me if it has been posted before.

I'd like to see some "charms" added to the credit shop. These charms are for your account (as opposed to being used on the horses). These charms would provide an increased (not guaranteed!) chance of better confirmation when buying a store/foundation horse.. or there could be a charm that when you bought it, you could pick a color (or several colors) and then you would have an increased (not guaranteed!) chance of buying a horse with one of those colors you picked. I think these charms could help with keeping horses out of the rescue center and then maybe we could get rid of the fee for leaving a horse in the rescue center.

I'm still relatively new to this game. The charms idea seems to make sense to me but I may not be seeing how it affects the over all game.. so.. If you do not support this idea, please leave your reason why! I would really like to know if I'm overlooking something which would make this a bad idea. :)

I like this idea seems to me like it could do a lot of people favors! See I breed paints for Conformation, and Gypsy Vanners for color. So I'd find this very useful!! Only problem is how much would it cost to buy one?

Most items in the credit store seem to cost between 2-4 credits. I think this seems like a reasonable range for the charms to cost. Maybe it could also be arranged where the more credits a charm costs, the better change (higher percentage) of getting the confirmation and/or color you want. Something like this: 2 credits- 10% chance, 3 credits- 15% chance, 4 credits- 20% chance, 5 credits- 25% chance, and 6 credits- 30% chance. That is just a rough example of what I meant by the higher the cost, the better the chance you have of getting what you want.

If we are talking that high of a percentage, then the charms should be a one day use.
We want to keep certain colors and high confo a rare occurrence, and the highest conformation you can get from the EC is 70 I believe. 
I'm honestly on the fence about this, this could seriously affect the rarity of horses. Plus, I like the bulk of horses that are thrown into the RC, they are great stock for my Teke project (which are all rescues lol).

I'm against it. Getting better conformation should stay as it is -  a long work through careful breeding. Otherwise it will harm the horse market, which is not in the best shape as it is.

I completely agree to the charms having a specific duration to them.. such as one day. The percentages I used were just a real quick spur of the moment sort of answer. The charms wouldn't necessarily be that high of a percentage. Maybe it could be a 2-3 credit charm that lasts for one day and gives you a 5-10% chance of better confirmation horses or 5-10% better chance at other colors.
