Randomize training arenas in search

#52122 Posted on 2016-07-10 15:10:11

I've noticed that the same training arenas always appear at the top of the search as it currently stands. Because there is a minimum base price enforced by the game, no one is charging any greater than that and there's no benefit to training at one arena over another based on experience, etc., so there's no competition. It seems unfair, then, that some arenas are seeing hundreds of horses a week while others with the same experience level and/or room for training see single digits--simply because of where they consistently show up in the search.

Could we randomize the order that the arenas appear or create a new equation to determine their order so that everyone has the chance to get some love?

I know it's possible to just select an arena further down the list to train from, which is currently what I've been doing. But it just seems there should be some other way to help boost training experience for other players.

I think this is a great idea. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to why one school is listed above another (I suspect it is in order of activation, but I'm not sure.) The schools at the top of the list have a huge advantage over the ones further down, just out of sheer luck.

I would suggest doing the same thing with training arenas, which are currently ordered alphabetically.

Currently Training Arena's sort alphabetically, while Riding Schools and Boarding Stables Sort by account number. For everyone's information.

I'd love to see some search filters implemented myself. I use mostly my own arenas/schools, and have some bookmarked for different disciplines(schools), or higher levels(arenas from my spares). It would be nice to be able to sort and view arenas by different criteria though. I'm lucky being an old time member and having enough horses to level up my arenas myself, but it's got to be hard for newer people to get business.

If training centers are meant to sort alphabetically, there's got to be a glitch or some missing characters. ! B shows up before anything else, then some ! A variations, then another ! B, etc.

I think it has something to do with extra spaces before the name? I tried playing with it when I noticed it a while back but couldn't figure it out. I'll mention it though.
