How about quests wherein we could dye existing mounts then? :D

Even though it's basically just a reskin, I would totally get this version of the elbst. The coloring is so much prettier than the one you get from the Sahagins. But, if we could dye it, that would work, too.

I'd live with dye options. I'm not too crazy about all the re-skins either but like others have said this version or at least the coloration is better looking. Could have used this instead of a glowy horse for the Levi drop mount.

It's ready in the game you might as well use it.

I was thinking: Oh, finally a colorful mount ! i want it ! :(

I was so very much hoping this thread wouldn't happen. I knew it was inevitable, but a small part of me hoped people would be content enough not to ask. Hopes dashed. I don't want this mount to become a thing. I really don't. Events are far and few so taking part should be this special thing, and the event mount is one of those special things that should stay special. The moment you release it to the wilds of the player population, it stops being special. And when it stops being special, then nothing is special (about it).

They should make it so in the future we can train our mounts and feed them food that changes their color.

So would I, but since re-skins take considerably less work, why can't we have both? I would love to have this moonfaire Elbst.

I guess my argument with that would be it shifts the weightings in mount roulette.
You've a higher chance of getting a specific mount model like Goobbue/Magitek than say, a unique model like the Drake or Behemoth.

Gotta confess, I didn't even think about this, but I don't think that's a good enough reason to limit mount designs. A reskin can make all the difference to a lot of people. For me the elbst we have access to now is nothing exciting, but I love color and this moonfaire version I love. I don't think its slightly altering the chances of getting an elbst in the roulette is reason enough to bar it from the game.

But you might be right, we ought to throw in some re-skinned drakes and behemoths too :3 Balance things out.
