I'm just curious on people opinions and a discussion on this, but would people say the W rating has become too common? It takes a very strong WWW to make the leaderboards and very rarely does something with an E make it up there. I joined the game right after the W was added, so I didn't see how full of EEEs the game was before, but I saw the new WWWs arriving and EWW combos could still make money for a stable. My EWW stallions sell for less than 40k and mares for under 100k in todays market, unless they have great shine/svenned and lined. Let me know your thoughts! I have never had a horse break onto the LBs now I've started breeding a bit more seriously. Any WWWs are just too weak even if mine are carefully matched with items. Last RO I svenned my first match and got an EWW SH, who unfortunately is worth so little now as most LB horses are lined fully in Ws. Not saying we should add a new rating (yet or at all) just want to know if other people have problems like me. Poll Question: Too many WWWs?Total Votes: 28

With how competitive the LBs are, I personally feel that, no, it isn't too oversaturated. While the rating is more common now, it is rare for the horse to be any good. Much less, high LB-worthy good. . If we were to combine WWW being extraordinarily rare as well as a LB-standing horse being the same rarity it is today, I can see things becoming a lot more frustrating for players. LBs are everyone's ultimate goal. I DID see that this recent RO was a major disappointment to many people, so it isn't like every match is a miracle anyhow. :)

No.
Not sure if you were around right before W was introduced but EEEs were SO saturated they were everywhere and you could barely give them away. We are ages away from that happening. Like many many real life years.

No, there are still weak WWW and very strong WWW. In fact we didn't even entertain the idea of a new rating until EEE's were going up WK4 and SD were occasionally going up WK3. So I believe we are far from ready for a new rating.
People should enjoy getting WWW's. The fact that we get them is nice. Making the LBs is icing on the cake and harder to do. Makes the LBs competitive.

I voted Yes, not so much because it's a problem now but because I see a potential for the WWW stud - and possibly mare - market to be flooded when all the foals from the last couple months of breeding algorithm changes become adults. A lot of the WWW foals I've seen lately have been from very unexpected matches - EEW and under mares with EWW+ studs. That's super exciting for players who couldn't acheive those ratings in the past, but I don't expect all those foals to train or produce well, which could cause the market to get overrun with EWW-WWW horses. This, in turn, could drive the prices down on everything else. Hopefully I'm wrong and the market stays stable-ish. I do agree however that EWW stallions have already gone down significantly in value over the last year or two which isn't a great sign.

EWE and EWW stallions have completely lost their value, I agree with that. Though there are some EWWs on the LBs, they only sell for a max of 100k, unless they have great color. EWE mares are also not that valuble, but like someone said, it is becoming more common to get WWWs from them. EWW mares are a huge leap from EWEs. I've seen some consistently give WWWs and sell for 500k or more. WWW mares are a smaller jump, but still, the prices skyrocket. The minimum I'd sell a WWW mare for is maaaaaaaybe 600k, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of the LB girls went for 10 mil or more. . So my answer is No. WWWs are not oversaturated. EWW and EWE combos are. I hope this helps!

I'm seconding this. WWWs may become more 'saturated', but the top of the top will still rise above the rest, and the LBs are going to have a huge say in the value/worth of certain ratings. It's going to be a long, long time before there's 'too many'.
