Unfair horse competition

Guys, you really need to improve matching it's nonsensical, how the world you want someone to win against someone that is either twice your level or even THREE TIME your level? I'm not even sure how it is technically possible for someone to have a horse level 70 but do you really think someone 3 times under can have a fair chance at beating such a horse?
Most of my fights are totally unfair, they are almost always near or twice my level and that just makes no sense at all. I cannot win against someone twice my level and if I do it will be a exception as 98% will be loses thus wasted fight points.

And clearly nadia you didnt read me at all. I said CLEARLY that this isn't about winning all the time, I said CLEARLY that it's about losing 98% of those encounters against people that are so hugely above your level. There shouldn't be matches at all if someone is 2 times above your level point blank.
I got no problems at all with losing, if I have a "fair" chance, I don't mind losing, but I have NO chance, that's where things go silly quite fast.
i agree - this is a crap shoot - it's not about experience. roll the dice...if i'm able to compete 10 times, i might get one win. and because i'm focusing on trying to reach level 20 with my second horse as a farm task, and horseshoes are so hard to come by and so expensive to use, i can't invest any to upgrade the competitive horse beyond level 21. therefore 'competition' keeps coming in levels far above mine. it's become an annoyance that i'd prefer to ignore.
No, you don't have to win every time, but you also shouldn't have to lose every time. My horse is 11, but I've been pitted against nothing but 16 or above, and a couple were 20 or even a 37 since last night. Why not pit us against people we have at least close to a 50% chance, rather than people who we are 80% chance of a win or 90% chance of a loss? There's nothing wrong with pitting people against similar levels only so that it's really a random chance if you win or not, rather than constant losses.
The only way the other person will never win is if they had a 0% chance (which doesn`t happen), so basically, even if they have a 1% chance, that's still a chance. If you think of it like, say, raffle tickets, there are 10 tickets in a draw, you have 7 and the other person has 3, there is MORE chance that one of your tickets will be drawn, but it could just as easily be one of their tickets, because each individual ticket has a 1 in 10 chance of being drawn.
And if some of you think that's normal, me level 31, facing people level 70+, welllllll... got news for ya, it's not ok
The entire system is broken and broken down, I should... evah be facing someone above me 20% and below me 20% point blank. Or... the system should level me off or the person I am facing so we both have SOMEWHAT of a fair chance at it. But heck! Not like anything is about to change, Im just ranting cause thats what forums are for, not here to think something will ever change about this :P
I have a newbie horse on this farm & it loses all the time, I nearly faint if it actually wins a challenge & like you I hardly ever see an opponent lower than mine, but my horse on my main farm is diamond level & that one wins most of its challenges. You just need to keep training & breeding & as your horse improves you will win more & get further up the leagues. We are probably not seeing many horses lower level, because everyone else is busy training their up too, but you will soon reach a point where there are as many below you as there are above.
There are horses all the way up to the maximum level 100...Lots of them.
This is what I saw when I checked the competition today. My horse is level 11. Tell me how I'm expected to have any chance of beating these guys. Is that enough? No. Even without me racing my inbox is still full of clear loss, clear loss, clear loss from people who challenged me. It's not enough that if I chose to race myself I will be slaughtered every time. No, I have to be slaughtered every time by other players too. Absolutely NOT cool!
That's not true, I was racing long before level 20 and was winning as long as horses were in the similar range. It's not about being level 20 or under at all. It sums itself up in the same word every single time FAIR, that's all, fair competition, fair chance, it's not that complicated.
Facing someone that is 3 times and sometime even more than 3 times is idiotic, it's a bad system.
As I said, if someone thinks that's normal then I don't even know where they would pull their logic from. This system is invalid and has to be changed for sure.
Several family members starting playing recently and have horses at somewhere around 5. Their matches are mostly under 10, so there's obviously some sort of selection process going on.
I'm annoyed that there's so little opportunity to get the horseshoes if you don't have an island farm. The few that come each time I load the ship are small little handouts, and progress is very slow.
a star level of 7 in racing. If you want to win -always place your horse in a competition where the heart level is lower then yours and where your horse has the highest star level. Right now my horse has a heart level of 9 but I have been training it mostly in racing so it has a star level of 14 in racing. So I simply go to the racing category and pick a horse with a lower heart level then I do and win every time. Its really quite simple. Right now my second horse I'm training in only strength. So even though I might have a lower heart level then my competitor I will probably still win because of my star level in that category will be high.
Don`t worry about other people challenging you and beating you, you don`t lose anything in the bronze league & when you challenge someone else, you WIN golden horseshoes even if they beat you, so basically you can`t lose anything. Just EXPECT to lose until your horse is higher & every win is just a bonus where you get even more gold shoes. Use these early challenges to build up golden horse shoes, both from challenging other people & also from winning against George, Lester & Tessa. Use those shoes to get your stables & arenas upgraded & get your horse to a good level ready for when you reach the silver league. Because after you leave the bronze league you will start to lose points for challenges that people make against you when they win.
Why wait until your horse is trained before you compete?..... You get free fuel, you win gold horseshoes whether you win or lose the challenges that you do & you get points if you do happen to win, which can get you rewards. As long as you are in the bronze league you can`t even lose any points, so you lose nothing, even if you don`t win any challenges. You can train your horse for 4 hours, then use up all your fuel doing challenges, then put the horse back in training for another 4 hours. Remember to also do the challenges against, the NPCs, as you can win some gold shoes for those too. You have to train the horse anyway if you want to complete the tasks in your task bar, so you may as well put it to use while you are doing that.
Sometimes someone could complain about the same thing intending you to be the one with the double level of him.
Then don't do it. That's the best part about this game. You don't have to do what you don't want to do. My horse has had 1 training in 1 event. It never competes, no one competes against it (seldom). I've got 15,000 horseshoes saved up. Wish I could donate them to someone.
What it has to do is the idiotic nature of competing against a horse that is 2-3 times your level. That's the gist of it and nothing else. And yes, the reverse is the same, picking on low levels to win. The idea here is the algorithm is simply bork, it doesn't work, I should never, -ever- be pit against a horse that is level 70 if my horse is level 30, makes no sense at all.
Anyway, as I said, I doubt anything will change there
