Well I might point out that fighting from horseback has been an effective battle tactic for much of documented history.
But we’re talking about a game, so I’ll just mention it for the sake of argument. The fact is that a few years back when I started playing CE a lot of people were grumbling about lances in PVP ( supposedly OP ).
But PVP doesn’t interest me (here) , I play PVE and I’ve spent hundreds of hours on horseback there, often in combat. Until recently it was about effective combat tactics ( mainly against groups ) that had reasonably balanced pros and cons. And yes on my part there was the RP part, 99% of my game time is as a knight on one pve server and my tactics and gear are geared to that as well. So of course I’m bothered by the obviously unthought out changes which have a pretty negative effect on one of the main features of the game for me - after all there aren’t many open world games where you can fight from horseback but also build , hunt farm, cast spells etc at the same time and for me the sheer scope of things is one of the main reasons I love this game (and have spent thousands of hours in it).
