I think that many have forgotten the old adage "If you can't say something nice, say nothing" when it comes to posts, especially on this thread.
This is not the "Only post if you love the changes and argue with anyone who is upset that their favorite designs have to change (even though they understand why it has to happen)" thread.
I have seen many "ohh I love the new changes... must get now" posts and have yet to see one person respond to one of those posts with "stop being so dramatic, how can you love pixels? They were pixels before and you did not care for them and now suddenly they are worth your time?" but I *have* seen many people saying basically the same thing to anyone who loved the old lines and old designs and are sad or upset that the older pets have had to move to the same common line and some designs have changed so dramatically. Those people are being called 'overly dramatic' left and right and being told to get over it.
Even though this is not a competition, there is (in a way) a 'winning side' and a 'losing side' to this and there should be graceful winners just as much as there should be graceful losers.
Just because you never liked the horses in the past and suddenly have decided with the change that they are worth getting does not negate the fact that there are players that loved the pets before the changes.
It would make the change a lot easier on those who have 'lost' old designs they loved if they were able to vent and get it out without being attacked or ridiculed for it.
