there was a crazy conan mmo. good for the first 10 levels but then it broke down content quality wise.
in this, the mounts caused physical block, AND were allowed in towns...
as you can imagine, aside from being blinding, occluding everything, it formed actual blockades of areas which amused what amounted to truck strikers blockading merchant districts.
also, not in Gridania, thank you very much, kupo.
perhaps it's tolerated in sandy ul'dah, to see 'beasts' hauling uncouth ruffians, kupo?
but not in Gridania, not by heavens crossed nor twelve scorned, kupo!
NOPE.
Apart from the usual argument that "forcing the player to go on foot allows for a healthier management of space", mounts prevent access to certain strategic points.
Just imagine 36 mounts in front of the auction house.
I'd also say no to city mounts.
If you're looking for some speed boosts/boots, there are some very niche equippable items that will grant a increase in speed (barely noticeable) in cities. Not item lvl friendly.
