As long as I don't get a shitty replacement that pretends to be serious, I don't really care.
Edit: Let's remove the black armor, all Arabian crap, any horses that aren't northern European, and khergit armor, along with that stuff you just put into the game. It totally ruins the immersion of the game on the internet in a fictional world that has 4 different types of land right next to each other. Let's get rid of all that HuD too. In fact, let's get rid of heirlooms, because even if they did get handed down they wouldn't give new bonuses. Let's make almost everything break after one round too, because that can happen easy. In short - you're removing strange armor because it ruins "the history". Really?
