I'm not the only one who's thought about this ?

I will do Dark Knight simply because my Father was one before he became a Paladin... LOL.

If healers get an extra mount just for playing their jobs (you already get a unicorn as part of your CNJ quests), then why can't a DPS get their own mount as well? How is it fair that tanks and healers get unique mounts while DPS gets nothing?

Base on the current class/job specific mounts: If (as a DPS) you want your own mount, then you need to figure out a way to get people to stop playing DPS. (Good luck with that).

Unicorn - put in at release because people were not playing healers.
Warlion - put in because people were not playing tanks (Paladin specifically).
Warbear - put in because people were not playing tanks (Warrior specifically).

So using these examples if you want a mount for the other classes, you need to figure out a way to get players to stop playing those classes so that SE will put in a mount to get people to play them.

Mounts was implanted as a way to encourage people to play Tanks more. What you get in return is more Tanks in the DF.

For what ?
Sure tanking is a tough "job" but so are all the others ? We all have to learn the same mechanics etc etc there are literally a lot of endgame fights were the tank just pretty much absorbs damage while the team handles the mechanics and the checks
On dps obviously.

I vouch that each job should get its own mount at 200 to show support of your main job

I main SCH and I tell you healing through coils and primals have been a real pain and I have no mount to show for it. Mean while a tank can sit there and absorb a critical rip or a death sentence and get a mount ? Really ?

Inb4 "play a tank role"
It's not about that I just want to know why its looked at as "prestige" to have tanked the fight when 7/10 fights you do nothing but absorb damage and stand there.

Healing Scob t7 & 8 are the only fights as a healer I just stood around and played "basic" SCH

Where's my mount

/rant

Excuse grammer and sentence structure lol currently on mobile being pissed

problem isnt tanking is a tough job, problem IS no one wants to tank. look at how long most dps wait in queue (depending on server obviously) some complain about waits up to 2 hours

remember, dps are easily replaceable, and healers are more replaceable than a tank is (yes i think sch should get a specific mount like whm does, since i play healer too)

Can I get a MT on this form ? And please tell me how you would feel about this

I MT for my raid group, and yes the 200 Full Party raids for the mount was created to increase the amount of players that actively play Tanks.

However, I dont believe it has had any significant effect to the implimentation SE had in mind.

Tanks are given to much hell no one wants to play them. I love my war and play him in my daily roulettes but I won't touch him in ex primals or coil.
I don't need that kind of stress in my life. Not from mechanics, from player hate.

If you want to see why SE felt the need to reward tanks, simply open up the Duty finder and look at what role is almost always the "Adventurer in Need".

As for the "I'm a tank, I am better than you" attitude, that isn't SE's fault, that is purely the player's bad attitude. Personally, I'm a tank player. I MT everything. My focus isn't speedrunning, or killing things faster, or getting praise. My focus is to hold the mobs in place and get the job done while keeping my party alive. I have no need to cop some arrogant attitude. The clear was made possible by the ENTIRE party, not one person. End of story.
