Why Horsefarms have died...

...On this Thread you will see why Horsefarms have died

First off I'd like to explain What a Horsefarm actually is; for those who didn't know or simply forgot it.

Horsefarm
A Horsefarm, is a Farm-Setup that's used in the Spar-Arena.
You have 4 Spots and each has a chair which Stops the horse from Moving down too far.
what do you do in a Horsefarm?
In a Horse-Farm you farm for yourself with a horse like the name already tells you.
What's the Point of a Horse-Farm?
Just like the Maze is an excuse for people to farm for you
The Horsefarm is an excuse to bring people together for farming. Because how you might have read often on the Forums lately - the more Players around a Farm, the more Gralats will spawn.
why?
Because when people read the word farming they go into a Defense mode bringing up excuses why they can't farm right now. Sometimes you just have to force them to their luck with psychology. Haha.

That's all you need to know now i think, if there are more questions you can just go ahead and ask them.
But now I'd like to go on with my actual point.

Why Horsefarms are rarely used
There is a a tiny Bug which has made any Horsefarm-Owner worry.
You can Take Gralats from another person through a wall. All you have to do is to go on your horse and move to the right. It will take away the Gralats. It's not something pixel Attached like how big the horse is. No i have tried this a couple of times. On the following Picture attachment I made you, i also used the smallest mount to prove it. On the Picture, I only made 2 Cut off horse spots just for demonstrating.

would be cool if this could be fixed

When the horses speed was increased a long time ago. Thats when it happened. They also changed the gralat spawn a bit

People just need to close their guild houses and horse farm by themself. Other than that, mazes are the only way they will get money.

Double click the gralats twice and lock them from everyone. There was always a way to get into horse farms. I once had 6 black gralats I farmed myself stolen somehow.

My friend makes mazes that involves riddles and bomb sliding, he says he makes like 10k a day simply just afking in graal city with his house open as people attempt to beat the puzzle and end up farming for him with their bombs as they struggle to beat the puzzle.

Christopher · 05-17-2013

Yeah, with the Horse you move a bit to the rigth in whatever Tile
@Ryan

you might missunderstand. Horsefarms are not made to make money for the owner.
you can make it a 80% horsefarm where you lock the bottom Gralats, yes that would make money to the owner.
but other than that the persons who are there will make money for themselves.

Also why would you not want a bug to be fixed?
@ChibiDragon

Horsefarm-Owners don't always want to save/lock Gralats for everyone who enters their Horsefarm. It's a self working thing.
Yeah, I bet there are a lot of other ways to get in the Horsefarm but as you said ;) - you didn't know how the Glitcher got in and many others don't do so too. So maybe they just fix this easy bug.
@Andy

That's cool for your buddy, but what has this to do with the Topic?

I don't understand why mazes are viewed so negatively. Yes essentially you are farming for the owners, but some mazes can actually be quite fun and tricky.

I agree with that.
It's just like with Justin Bieber.
One Person hate's it because it's diffferent and has success and a huge wave of Persons will follow the negative wave.

Smooth.

They died because when gralats where messed with it ****ed up how they spawn, making horse farms well, broken. I don't think they are used as often anymore because mazes have become a much more efficient way to earn money, seeing as 100% profit goes to the house owner, rather than 10-20%

Ryan · 05-18-2013

Bomb farming is the top farming now

tricking ******* to come into your maze is the top farming now

@Skill

It related to the topic because you provide a service to another player while obtaining money in return.

i have seen a successfully run horse farm at a guild leaders GH, but i don't run one nor do i plan to. as for mazes once i figured out its a noob trap i started avoiding them all together. Except on the rare occasion i'm in need of a new shield code, even then i usually just search through Tailorrichards.com. besides i still havent mastered the bomb glitch your self over the fence trick, and i prefer to use my bombs on my own farm anyways. I am much happier spending 30mins-1 hour each day farming and doing Pyrate bay to gain my money. If your in a tight pinch and need money in a hurry theres always the FB offers.
