1 -  What Kesh said
2 - Cav are fine and raping when played by GOOD players currently
3 - Lances are shitty on foot?  As footbased melee weapons?  GOOD!  It's a rediculous concept that a freaking cavalry lance would be a decent infantry weapon.
And I should be nice or polite to anyone.... why exactly?

with the new item slot thing i can't carry a decent sidearm which leaves me with this lance as my only on-foot weap.

Funny thing, whenever I get dismounted people start commenting on my elite scimitar.
But to be fair ...

... it's just a pike with a different model.

Not really.  Weighted differently, different dimensional designs as well.  Even then, pikes aren't necessarily known for being great foot weapons in cRPG.  Good for support poking, and anti horse.  Not so great in actual fighting except by large skill gaps.

Well, the lances never were either (in fact they've always been a worse version of pike). I liked to use them for the looks instead, but eh, it's not like you can whine when your selfgimped style is nerfed.

Well then they are stuck with useless weapon on foot, and since most of the cavalry is noobish enough to be dehorsed quite easily, they can enjoy the swift deaths afterwards. When they're fed up with that, I suggest them to look at other weapons.

lmao +1
I've never played a server where people split up as much or as often as on EU1.  No wonder range is having a field day.
