Of course the major antagonist Gage has forgotten the developer statement that: Pally horses were to be LEFT ALONE. That statement has been forgotten with the "it was always a bug" statement. The devs are just covering their own [Removed for Content] with the new statement and cosmetic nerfing of the purchased horses. And sheep like Gage believe it. And gage they could have left the purchased horses alone since it was only the paladins they nerfed...again. As long as the precious guardians are ok then they will walk away with a FAT paycheck. The original statement appeared around the time when the vocal minority started trolling our boards and complaining. In the devs extrememly pregnable will power fortress they caved very quickly to these people.
For Gage specificaly: Why are you here; there should be plenty to discuss on the Monk forums. You've brought down this forum, and your ilk have brought down our horse.
This is all from sheer jealousy and hate that the paladin got a horse. What are you so jealous about now that you need to wreck our boards.
