A scandal already brewing. Apparently the mobile version worked way better than the desktop (the reverse of what is typical in situations like these), and people with mobile were able to load up on horses quickly, while the desktop versions were all freezing at the beginning of each drop.

This would explain why the Z9 and Z10 vanished so quickly, and why it seemed nearly impossible to get one. I'm guessing that mobile people who caught this chose to load up quickly on the high-ROI horses they coudl afford with their existing WETH balance, rather than blowing it all on 1-3 more expensive horses.

Honestly this entire drop was mismanaged, and not just in hindsight. It's baffling to me that they didn't:

1) Make each link specific to each account, so sharing wouldn't help

2) Put a hard cap on number of horses one could purchase in the drop

3) Make sure the system is properly stress tested, including by ensuring mobile and desktop had the same performance
