Just re balance the incentive to use as heavy a set of armor as possible to make medium armors more viable. Want to wear 20+weight plate armor? You lose a little bit of speed like the horses do in heavy armor.
You forgot the part where whole guilds were exploiting through the queue as well. On top of copy pasting gold everywhere through turtle methods and haven exploitation. If the playing field wasn't even fair from the first moment, then land should not have been up for grabs.

Thatwas the link to the funeral website about him, but it doesn't seem to work anymore. Maybe the site changed some of directories or something.
