I've seen a lot of players,  and have myself experienced,  complaining about the bad HP economy.I do have some suggestions on what we can do to help. Let's face it,  guys. This is hard on both the players and the creators of the game; Like Samantha had stated in a post, this isn't a simple fix like a code mistake or a game bug. It is along, hard debate because while some players are for one thing, others are disagreing to the fact. Well, let's put this in perspective for a bit, shall we?

OK, so obviously we all know that in order to have a GOOD economy people need to be able to spend money,  BUT both sides should be balanced in ability to buy things. Right now in this economy, if you're a basic player,  you cannot go very far as opposed to upgraded players.You cannot make 5 shows a week, do services, buy tixs/graphics, etc. like upgraded members can.

However - Lately it's not exactly a walk in the park for upgraded members either. Training is slow, tixs/graphics are too expensive, shows abd upgrades are harder to sell, and other problems.Now I have seen a couple people say to only buy tixs ffor projects or to stop the weekly salary. Stopping the weekly salary is ONLY good to those whom have collected a lot of money to spend, but for players who are still trying to get money whether coming back from hiatus or still starting out, it can be difficult. Below are some suggestions tgat upgraded players can take to help out. I am in NO way forcing anyone to do these method, however, do not complain about the expenses if you're not willing to play a role in helping.

1.) Lower graphic prices - I DO understand that art takes time and a lot of effort, as well as wanting the highest price but in this time that is not available. Though SOME players can indeed pay your price, there are many more out there who cannot. The solution? Try setting prices to 50 -80mil instead of 100mil . Also OCCASIONALLY have your graphic prices reduced (Like Black Friday or Thanksgiving Sales). This will not only benefit buyers, but yourself as well since you'll be making money AND attracting new costumers. 

2.)Have bulk ddiscounts - Honestly I cannot understand the high prices of horse tixs lately. Suggestively,  give a bulk discount to those who buy more than those whose don't (Though still be fair to others!). Set your prices from 500k per ticket to 100k (Or whatever is low in tixs), but for bulk buyers set it at a 10 - 15% discount.  For example, should a player buy 250 tixsu instead of 500k per ticket,  subtract it to a discount. This could help greatly and help with buying for animals.

These are only a couple ssuggestions of how we can help. What do you think? Also, PLEASE be polite about this. I do not expect you to agree, however this was difficult to write because of being shy of people hating me. Younmay dislike my idea or have a different opinion,  but please put it nicely. :)

Did you know that you can get an achievement for not collecting your bank salary for 5 weeks? :P

(If anyone wants to hep bring prices down more by not having money poof into your account. haha. It's a little thing, but its adds up!)

I'm under the "most people have 350m". I have 200m generally on my account, because the only way I can make money quickly, for me, is through training. Since my computer is not the best, it takes me FOREVER to get any graphic out, and I don't get near enough practice to keep up with the (for lack of a better term) elite graphic designers, because lets face it, they put lots of time and effort into learning. 

However, i do agree that this is a downtime for horse phenomena right now. I personally, can usually NEVER make money from training, but now I am training, including my horses, nearly 100 horses a week, and on busy weeks to 200 . This usually only happens around holidays, and such, but a lot of people are asking for weeks worth of training because they are busy. Like most SIM sites, I've noticed that there is just a lot of downtime until, A. there is a HUGE prize and such for a refferal contest or B. It's summer time.

The only solution to fixing and economy, I believe, is that there is none. Maybe we should have more random, and free, lotteries to get money out to players who couldn't normally buy 100 tickets to get, basically, a shoe-in for a prize they want. Or allow/make a seprate page for games, YES I KNOW THIS IS WHY HORSELAND WAS BAD, BUT HERE ME OUT FOR A SECOND. Make them like wagering games, like high-low, basically, some form of in-game betting or something, or allow more compeition between horses by setting up races. I realize this is more of major re-coding, but maybe, if hp needs a little pick-me up later, and can afford it to get more player v player or horse v horse type compeitions based on skill. Maybe allowing for tack and specializtion of shows to be used. I dunno, just an idea, a very big, and expnesive idea I realize.

I also realize that HP wants to stay simple, and this is basically the simplest you can get. Either way, economy just has to regulate on it's own unless you want major in-game changes, from what i've observed anyways. 

I know I rambled, but I hope some of it made sense.
