Sannayven, you are plain and simple full of it.
You cannot outrun a 2.5 plat horse burst running, I pass normal players on foot all the time consistently.
You cannot outrun the 2.5 plat horse buffed uness you use vectoring (using angles in terrain to gain downhill movement speed increase)
You cannot ever outrun the 4 plat horse, and the 9 plat would leave you sitting in the dirt.
Lies do not an effective base make. And before you go claiming to have tested it, again I'll just in advance call you flat out, a liar.
And as for asked for it. Nope not once didnt care. Do I find it appropriate now? Yes. Do I mind the nerf to a horses I paid plat for, nope not one bit.
