Coconuts

9 - Boost weighting of "new" mounts

What is the enhancement in mind? How should it look and feel?

When I get a new mount, I tend to use it heavily, in preference to older mounts (e.g. when I got my Netherwing Drake). With the pre-3.0 system, this was done easily by using a mod that scanned my bags for mounts. With 3.0, a weighting system is needed, or on/off-switches (as most other addons are doing it).

With Coconuts, this can be done manually via the settings. But what I'm proposing is that Coconuts keep track of a "first scanned" timestamp for each mount, and for mounts less than X old (say, 1 week), their weighting gets a significant boost. This would allow a user to emphasize newly-obtained mounts without having to go monkey with the settings manually each time.

    I've been thinking about this and its a good idea, but I'm not sure if it will get in before the end of Hallow's Eve (hopefully). I've also decided to increase the weighting in general from 5 as a max to 11.  :)

    Related, or perhaps a subset of this feature - limited-duration mounts like the brooms should get a big boost. I imagine most people with a broom want to use it pretty much exclusively for the two weeks they have it.

    Interesting idea. I will give it some thought.
