Oh, I'm not saying people like Kelly shouldn't be annoyed. I can agree, it's annoying. It annoys me when I buy a new TV for $1000 and two months later it's on sale for $200. It's depressing and frustrating.To be fair I can see how some people would see this as a loss. Let's say theoretically that person A (maybe this is Kelly's situation) likes black horses and chooses to drop 42k 8 times so all of her characters can ride a black horse. Let's say person B (Slurg) likes black horses too but is cheap and prefers to hoard her gold instead so she buys cheap horses for all of her characters. The 1.6 announcement comes out and Slurg says woo-hoo, now I can buy one black horse and all my characters can ride it and I get to keep all that gold I hoarded! But it would be a fair reaction for Kelly or anyone else in that situation to be disappointed they spent all that money when they didn't really need to in the long run. Yes people who bought the extra horses get the benefit of having used those horses over the past 10 months or however long, and they will get the riding stats transferred to each character, but a couple months from now with daily training we'll all have the same riding stats but people who didn't buy multiples of the premium horses will have spent a lot less gold.kelly.medleyb14_ESO wrote: »I'm not quitting the game, I am having items taken away from me without my permission.

Nothing is getting "taken away" from you. You'll still have access to everything you had before, and more. You aren't losing anything, and are therefore not entitled to compensation.
What is happening is that others are gaining access to things they did not have before, for free, and you are simply annoyed that you paid for things that are now being given to others for free.
Big difference there.
@Divinius , the part people are missing is that now their TV also washes their clothes and keeps their food refrigerated... The functionality of the end product(s) remains the same.

I'm just saying that people like that are not entitled to any compensation. Best Buy isn't going to give my my $800 back two months later because the TV I bought dropped in price.
It's perfectly reasonable to be annoyed. It is NOT reasonable to expect compensation for it.

Yes. That character will have max speed, stamina, and capacity, all at the same time on whatever mount skin he chooses (which is why this update is awesome).I haven't played on the PTS and I'm curious about how the riding skills work.
Hypothetically lets say I have a character that has three horses, one maxed speed, one maxed stamina, and one maxed capacity.
When 1.6 comes out, will that character have maxed all three riding skills?
The new character will have access to use a mount, and be able to choose the appearance ("skin") of any horse that the original character has, but will not have any of the upgraded stats until he trains up his own riding skills himself.Also have a question. I have a character with 3 horses max on the 3 diferent stats. And iam leveling another character. Will be shared my maximize horse with this new character or i have to build 3 horses diferent stats on him too?

People who bought all these horses used them. Now that it will be cheaper, it doesn't mean you are owed a refund.

Person A works for 4 extra hours a day for two months to buy a computer that over another two months will become 10% faster then the computer Person B bought. Person B's computer will be the same speed for a most of that time, but one day it will stop getting faster while Person A's computer keeps getting faster. However, because Person B's computer was cheaper, he used the money he saved to expand his living room. One day, the government decides that nobody should have a speed advantage. So, they send someone to destroy your computer and hand you a different computer. They also destroy Comrade B's computer, and give him an identical computer to the one they gave you. Now Comrade A and Comrade B have the same computer, but Person B still has a bigger living room. Comrade B makes fun of Comrade A, because Comrade A complains that he doesn't have a bigger living room.
I have 4 main characters I play. I have so far purchased 3 Draft horses, and 2 Light horses across those characters (at 42,700 gold each), and fully upgraded all of them.
This update will render 3 of those 5 purchases worthless. That's 128,100 gold that I didn't need to spend at all. And the other two are only marginally useful, as the remaining 85,400 gold basically only bought me two skins. That's 213,500 gold that I could have (and would have) spent on something else, had I known this update was coming.
So yes, I get why it's a bit frustrating, and I understand why some people are slightly irked. I would never make fun of someone for being annoyed by this.
However, unlike some of those people, I actually realize that changes like this in MMOs are inevitable, and I can accept it. I'm not going to go on a forum and cry about compensation, and I'm not going to let it ruin my whole gaming experience. Gold in this game is virtually worthless outside of inventory upgrades anyway.
It's especially easy in this case to let it go, given that the new system is infinitely better than the old one, for several reasons. And once again, to reference the computer example above, sure, both computers are being destroyed, but they are being replaced by a system that is effectively 3 computers in one, and ultimately significantly more powerful.
Accept it, and move on. You'll be healthier for it.

Justice. Oy. You are not being robbed. You are getting benefits from each of the horses you bought. You're just mad because it's discovered that those who are carting cheapos around get the same as you. It happens sometimes. Get over yourself, and recognize that 'compensation' over this is simply not going to happen. Quit wasting your breath.
@Divinius , uh, no, it won't. Please refer to this helpful reply:I have 4 main characters I play. I have so far purchased 3 Draft horses, and 2 Light horses across those characters (at 42,700 gold each), and fully upgraded all of them.

You paid for horses with a certain functionality for a particular character.To answer your questions specifically:Yes.

You will have that same functionality (regarding the feedings, anyway) on the same character in 1.6.
You have lost, at most, the base stat addition a horse had. Everyone else lost this as well, so it's not uneven.

I've attempted to explain this in multiple threads, in multiple ways. It's like getting angry when you buy a station wagon and they upgrade you to a Corvette for the same price...
Starting to feel like I'm beating a dead...
Oh, never mind.

I'm pretty sure from what I've read the angry people see it more like this:
They bought 8 station wagons and I bought one, and then I bought a cabin on the lake with my leftover money. Now we're trading in all of our cars and getting one shiny new Corvette each, but I still have my cabin on the lake to drive to and they don't have one because they spent all their money on station wagons.
I don't think you're going to convince them to not be angry just because the Corvette is awesome.
