So I've been doing this for a while now, and while it took maybe two weeks to get enough money that I don't need to worry about money (Once you get about 200K it's difficult to run out of money in the middle of using a herd helper) but the showing? The showing is aggravating.

It's not even that I have to enter them individually, I understand why that's a thing, it's that to enter a horse I usually have several extra clicks because the radio button and the show button are small. To be clear this is 100% a me problem and I don't think the buttons themselves need to be changed.

I'm not sure what would make this better, but it is annoying enough that I would just completely ignore the feature if I was a new user which is unfortunate since that's one of the major selling points for an upgrade.

For people that can afford a sub- sure. And it's a very good deal! 10USD for three months comes to about 3USD per month and considering what you get that's pretty darn awesome. I myself have premium, which I still feel is a good deal at 7.5USD a month. (And that's not even counting the new user deal!)

However, there's been months where I didn't have enough extra money for this. If I'm a new player and don't have available spare money the first month or two when I start playing whether I decide to spend money on a free game when I can isn't based on what I gain from an upgrade but whether or not I'm having fun. Yes, even for 2USD. Luckily for this game, I find the rest of it very enjoyable, but free showing is not fun.

Plus, if I'm not enjoying a feature saying "it's better with an upgrade" isn't a reason to upgrade to me- it's a reason to avoid the feature because now it feels pointless without spending money.

(I do think you're right for most people, by the way, that's just not the angle I'm coming from. It'll def work for people where two to ten USD isn't a big deal.)

Edit: Thought about this later and water to add in, but this is also an accessibility thing for me. I'm having physical difficulty clicking the button and this is the only web based game where I have this issue. Two things that would improve accessibility and not take away from the selling power of auto showing would be having an "enter show" button on a individual horse's page similar to the testing and breeding buttons and/or make the text for the show also select the radio button. If there is currently an enter show button on the horse's control panel I honestly can't find it, so it may be needed to be made more obvious.

Man, really wondering what the odds on chimeras are for rank specials. It really feels like an absurd amount.

YamineJune you can buy upgrades with HBs. you don't need to use real money to get auto training or bulk show entry. :)

"I will admit me wanting a note about how alleles are written is nitpicky, but I do really think that adding something like "scientifically alleles are written as"

That is not how genes are written. Superscript only applies to specific situations of codominance and even then not always as genetics is far more complex than that simple mendelian genetics taught in school. Our notation system is a slightly modified version of what UC Davis uses.
