Removing the 2-dog limit on trials
Started By
When the limit to trials was added, if I remember correctly it was a matter of capped dog owners filling trials with their own dogs and making too much money.
As it stands now, the same capped dogs are making more money with the 2 dog limit and that limit makes it harder to trial.
When we were allowed to load trials with our own dogs, we'd still have to make up the lost of the 4th and 5th place dogs we entered (which overall, deducted from our wins in addition to the entry fees from the dogs that won) but now capped dogs are going against other player's dogs and take the winnings for their own. 4th and 5th place dogs get nothing. Now those capped dogs are only paying back their own entry fee.
In addition to this, the 2-dog limit takes up way too many trials and too much time. It takes me one hour to trial all of my Odie level dogs. I don't even have that many. Before the limit, it took an hour and a half to trial ALL of my dogs (and I had over 100 dogs trialling before this change was implemented).
Many players have quit trialling all together because it's too time consuming and warrents little to no reward unless you own a capped dog. I still do it because it's my primary source of income aside from the frisbee game.
Alternatively, if removing the limit doesn't sit well with anyone; I'd also like if 4th and 5th place dogs could win money also; that way everyone at least makes their entry fee back :P

Support! I trial my customs primarily for TP boosts, but the constant loss of money to enter them (i have customs costing over 400 to trial) is rather disconcerting. I think the trial system should be rethought again.
