Imo, the chages to the 60% was a bit...too much. Lower gold cost and level was not needed. 4g is ridiculous.
Epic mount at 40? And for 50g? I am speechless tbh... Epic mount at 40 and for the reduced price is just too much. First from 1k gold, then 550, now 50? LOL. I dont like this change at all.
Expert riding, like the riding speed increase. Although the cost and level requirement is kinda meh...Was not needed, just boosting the speed would be fine.
Artisan: Nice with discount.

What are other peoples reactions? I get moslty negative from my guild and yes i support there opinions.
