I have to be honest with you here, I had a tough time understanding what you are trying to say. You really might want to read over what you write before you post.
Secondly, while I don't know what a "tredy" player is, I do know that none of the people I know that have an SK or Paladin, including me, made them for the "spiffy" horse. And its Paladins, not Guardians. As far as I recall, Guardians get the "fun spell" hand of the just or something like that, that glows. Not sure, but I'm almost 100% sure they don't get a horse.
Tradeskills: A lot of us that tradeskill aren't happy either. The cost of tradeskilling went way up, and the profits way down unless we sell to other players. Since armor is now attuned, its quite possible that players will be more picky about armor and weapons that they buy. I know I will only buy armor that's a fairly large upgrade, since I have no confidence in SOE getting the pricing right on the merchant buy of attuned armor.
Many hard core tradeskillers are happy because they believe they will sell more armor. Most are unhappy that SOE seems to believe that tradeskilling should be done at a loss, while adventuring be done at a gain. In other words, SOE wants us to only break even, at best, on tradeskills, but its ok to make both money AND xp when adventuring.
Yes its a dynamic world, but I don't think that term was intended to apply to them changing all the underlying rules. But then again, I played EQ1 for over 4 years, I tend to expect the entire world view to change from time to time.
I wasn't particularly upset about losing my horse speed. Compared to the fun spells the other classes got, we were ridiculously rewarded. On the other hand, I really despise when they do something like this. If it was broken, they likely figured that out mere days after it went live, why leave it in and let us get used to it for a couple of months? Why not take it out in the next patch? And they patch daily, its not like there aren't plenty of opportunities. I accept that it was broken, and it was nice of them to leave us at 10% now, I suppose, but I really wish they would have told us right up front. Even if they didn't take it out for 2 months, tell us right away "hey btw, Pally/SK horses are way faster than was intended, we will be removing that when we have time". Ok, fine, fair warning.
Anyway, my 2 cents worth on your comments and on the patch :)
