Booster columns: yay (yea) or nay...

There I was naively assuming that nobody liked the dedicated booster columns in the Derby horseshoe goals, when I saw some very persuasive posts supporting them over in the Birthday Derby thread in the News forum. I decided that the topic might be worth its own thread.

Here's a link to the first post of the discussion:

...and some follow-up:

...which was followed by one more in support of boosters:

I love the boosters, I like receiving 2 boosters per derby, but I don't like the dedicated columns.

more than once they have all been identical, for example faster crops, same crops faster, same crops faster

no choice!


i can also sympathise with those who may not want a booster and would rather choose between an EM, a deco and a booster

Neigh.......

you should have made this a poll to get a better idea.

i like that they're an option. but i don't like that boosters are the only option. sometimes i'd rather a tape than a booster. and if it's not a tom booster i don't care for most of them.

on the whole, nay.

I thought about creating a poll, but I couldn't come up with options I was satisfied with. :unsure:

Nay.

I do not like being forced into taking 2 boosters every week from derby. I thought the whole idea of the horseshoe system is so we could get a choice of what rewards we want.

I'd pick vouchers, diamonds, permits and even barn tools before boosters every time...if I could.

Nay and nay!

I like the boosters. I would be fine with going from two dedicated columns to one however (not that I can reach it anyway ☺)

I think the game would be better if everything was just randomized, all columns from the same pool. Don't have a dedicated column for anything.

Barring that, revamping the experience of having to trash a booster when you get too many would be good. The whole "You're going to trash this on BUT WAIT you can swap it and trash something else" experience is bizarre (and why can't I just activate one?). This happens to me most Monday mornings because I end up with two new boosters and usually only have one free spot (once I had no free spots). As I usually pick up derby rewards on Monday morning while still waiting on the coffee to brew I think it's unlikely that I'll ever consistently remember to check booster slots before collecting the rewards.:facepalm:

+1 for not making a poll with a poor set of choices.

Nay, nay, and nay some more. Would like to see the boosters as random prizes in the horseshoe columns. Instead, they are a mandatory take and usually tash. Waste of two columns we were promised as part of upward movement in the derby categories. Instead, although the columns are there, they are now devoted to forcing a specific type of reward. Completely dislike it.
