(The Reason to why most chocobo riding or Anything chocobo related seems dead anymore, Plus anything chocobo related topics posted here! <<{this would have been the subject provided i could of thought of way to shorten the amount of words to present the same thread statement to the Subject's Heading.)
Yeah it is mostly outdated or dead since they've made homepoints the new travel system which has put a majority to chocobo riding to anywhere in outsides of vana'diel or the need of raising a chocobo just to travel anywhere on the back burner since homepoint traveling is a less time consuming speedier way to travel these days.
The Chocobo Circuit at one point was thought to be used to give your chocobo learning traits or abilities after retirement at one point but most do not want to deal with the time consuming of staying inside the chocobo circuit for such of an event to watch there chocobo race and only to be there to give the chocobo racing food or such racing items during the event.
The other problem has always been the bidding system inside the chocobo circuit which has always way to difficult to understand the system even with the explanation NPC's present there and always leads to very disappointing results in not worth my time type of ways. This is also why the chocobo circuit is left used for the most part and maybe only has been used for when the mog bonanza event happens to obtain your marbles.
