Raffle studs: give them high stats!

I personally agree that 200 is way too low. A 200 stat NBW is something I wouldn't even bother breeding normally, I'd have to train it first. Maybe stats could be another nice "variable" for a raffle stud? One week we get a fancy base and markings stud with 300 stats, the other week it's a T2 with the repeating raffle markings we already had, but it's a 600 stat wolf. I personally don't think the raffle stud should be 1000+ stats, though, as it seems a but OP one person can get a ~500+ starting stats puppy with new raffle features. However, that's just my personal preference and I don't have solid argument to back it up.

Edit: After reading some of the comments, I think you could keep the 200 starting stats for the studs, but change their level from time to time. Level 20 studs could be really rare with the stats around 700+, but level 5-10 studs could be more common.

I support. I like unsknown's suggestion -- but I think it should remain on the lower end, 500 stats (100 in each). I say this because, like many people have said, the biggest appeal about these raffle studs is the exclusive markings and eyes that they have. 500 seems like a nice medium to me. Better than a fresh NBW, whose 180-280 stats are laughable, but not too high either. 500 seems like a nice medium/sacrifice, as -- yes, the pups won't be too high in terms of stats -- but the reward here is mainly in the markings and eyes anyway. Having it be 500 is about not punishing stat breeders for wanting pretty/exclusive pups, while also not rewarding them (their reward is the mark/eyes) with something like mirroring the female's stats (which, when you think about it, mainly just further benefits popular, strong leaderboard wolves anyway).

Support! 200 stats are just really low and sad

Hmm Yes and No?

I can totally understand where people are coming from when it comes to stats, as you could totally have this 1k female that's absolutely stunning and from a private line only for the pups to range 300-400 because of the male, but I feel like mirroring the stats or even going 500 is a bit much, I'd be alright if the stats ranged from 300-450 however, as after a year or so all the wolves with the stud in their pedigree won't be related anymore technically, speaking idk it just feels a bit "powerful" to get a high-stat pup AND have the dad removed in a year or so
