I'm not sure if this has been commented on before (I didn't read all the other posts in this category). But I was sitting outside a guild this morning and observed people weaving and circling around one person's horse. I asked them why, and they said because it taught brawling well. Then after they were all mind locked in brawling, they stopped 'attacking' it. The horse obviously cannot fight back and poses no risk to those attacking it. This is like free brawling experience. There is no risk involved in learning and this should be corrected. Thanks

>>Last time I advanced on a horse, it advanced on me and killed me...you cant attack it though, then I went back into the city...and low and behold it followed me and killed me....that I would call risk...

Well they don't do that anymore. Horses are free brawling experience. Here's a log of what I mean. I edited out some of the conversation and people foraging and stuff, but this is exactly what happened. If you didn't want to read that whole thing, just read the last few lines.

[Middens, Crossbow Bend]
Before you stands the Observatory of the Southern Crossbow. It is a three-story edifice, its sixteen-sided walls capped with a crystal dome. The top floor is also the nerve center of the Moon Mages' Guild, a most powerful and revered arcane circle throughout Elanthia. All in all a rather quirky structure, it manages to inspire awe and curiosity at the same time. A carved ivory door leads inside. You also see a liver chestnut horse, a blue moonbeam, a pale blue moonbeam, a pale blue moonbeam, a pale blue moonbeam, a shadowling, a sullen Shadow Servant, a rusted tinderbox, and an ivory urn.
Also here: Aesea, Diviner Draconie, Student Curinir who is sitting, Doomsayer Arachnae, Celestian Kaijana, Magess Maialynn who is sitting, and Nitish.
