Chocobo Racing - Let's modernize!

Hello FFXIV!

I've been doing a lot of Chocobo racing recently and would like to ask for some changes.
1. Treasure box hit boxes
-Treasure boxes are often hit or miss, especially the jumping boxes.
If you dont interact with the box dead center, you will likely miss.

2. NPC AI tactics
- You often race alone VS AI
-AI often lets one of the slower racers body block you so the lead racer can win
~Solution: The AI racer directly in front of a Player Character should have no collision physics. Especially during matches with 2 or more Players.
It is 100% frustrating to have an AI win when I'm facing off against a real roulette queue Player.

3. Item revamp
-In game racing bonus items have mixed to no value
-Example: Spiderweb - prevent player in front from using an item
-Too situational. Does not increase speed, restore stamina, or actively take the other racer's items. Worse if they dont even have an item.
-Suggestion: remove or change function
Spiderweb (future): Disables jump for long period
or
Spiderweb (future): tethers you to chocobo in front of you, closing the gap
Same with the other disable items. Does not provide real, long term racing value.

4. Item randomness
-Quite often, I'll see multiple instances of the same item repeat.
-Please increase the randomness

5. Add Surprise Events / characters
- Let's face it, raising your Chocobo to be a champion is very repetitive.
- I would like to see the following:
- Guest Racers that you can get a special reward for winning / losing / placing in a specific place to. Someone from the Dev team, a Golden Cactuar, or a character from other FF titles...
- Optional shortcut portals: go in, no clue where you'll end up, or you do some challenges to be dropped in front of lead racer. - Solo racing only
-Racing themed day: Say Thursday, all MGP and EXP from racing is tripled.
Encourage more players to actively race on a certain day.

6. Surprise / Treasure Tracks
- Think Chocobo racing, on adrenaline. All racers are given permanent hero tonic.
- All chest contain more hero tonic. And it stacks
- The background? Various treasure dungeons or some of the prettier dungeons.
- We also don't have a space Chocobo track yet... :cool:
- So you get this track, and it's just zoom zoom, fast and faster with all the pretty background flying by.
-Jump through X hoops to increase your MGP and exp payout

7. Chocobo GP release
- New Chocobo racing game, come on we need a cross over!
- What if we could earn MGP by racing in Chocobo GP?
- What if we could earn barding/skins from FFXIV in Chocobo GP

Thank you for your time!
