I'm sure people would prefer that SE worked on something more "important" but I just wanted to feedback on this anyway.
A few things could do with a little bit of tweaking:
- Ability to trade more than one of any race item to the CRA (this can't be a big change programmatically, instead of storing a flag for each item, store an integer)
- Increase stack size for race apples (Speed, Stamina, etc) to 99
- Move the "Start race." option to the top of the menu - we don't need a "Race overview." more than once so it really doesn't need to be top of the list.
Lastly, Free Runs are one of the few ways for new trainers to earn chocobucks but the Elite NPC racers appear FAR too often. I think the probability that each one will appear is independent but that just makes it worse. It seems that at least one will appear more often than not.
I'm going to record how often they appear in my runs to get some hard stats.
Chocobucks can be earned in high numbers by experienced racers, so we know that it's not a "balance" issue, where SE doesn't want too many Chocobucks being earned. However, the reality is that once you can earn chocobucks that easily you don't need them anymore.
It's unnecessarily punitive towards new racers.
