Suggestion: Adjustments to Mount Roulette

Shortly after Heavensward launch, the devs created a second mount roulette, one specifically for flying mounts.

What I'm proposing is to recombine them, but change how the roulette works. This is assuming that there are no plans to make every mount fly.

While I know that I could just keep both roulette on my bars, that's a space I could be using for something better. I could just choose one mount, but then it feels like it was pointless to collect any more.

My suggestion is to make it a bit more advanced.

After the two are remerged, when you. Go to the Mounts tab under general, add a box that says "only pick flying mounts in flight-accessible zones."

But that's not all.

Let us toggle the mounts on and off. I'm sorry behemoth, but I can't see around your gigantic rump, let's turn you off so that roulette never picks you. Not a fan of the music it plays? Toggle the mount off. Love every mount equally? Then no need to deal with the toggles.

Of course, you can still just have your favorite mount able to be put on your bar as it has been.

So, any questions? Comments? Suggestions? Complaints that it's a waste of dev's time? Feel free to respond, however you feel!

Toggling mounts on and off is one I would definitely like to see. There's just certain mounts I don't care for, or have better re-skins of (for instance, I only want to be able to summon my Gilded Reaper, not the MSQ one, or my Amber Draught 'Bo instead of the normal yellow one).

It'd be great as one roulette with two sets of toggles, one set where you can select mounts to include while in flight-accessible areas and one set where you select mounts to use in non-flight-accessible areas.

(That way it's not completely tied to flying mounts or not. One player might like to stick with their chocobo and unicorn for ground transport, but prefer huge dragons when they're flying. Another might want to include those same dragons in both circumstances.)

When they said they would introduce a flying mount roulette, I really thought that would be how they deal with it "if flying is unlocked in the area, select at random a flying mount".
Obviously, you have my vote!

Gotta be honest, I've yearned for a change to the roulette like this for so long.

It's a very simple QoL enhancement, but it's one that will be very appreciated amongst people who get things because they like collecting, but don't really like them.
(Looking at you, San'uwa....)

That first part of your post is exactly what I've been thinking. So yeah I definively wants that feature, because since I don't want to use 2 skill slots just for Random Mount, I'm only using random flying mount for now, and I'm missing all the other lovely ground based mount I have unlocked.

Or alternatively they could implement a new "Adaptive Random Mount" skill, that summons only a random Flying Mount when you're able to flight in an area, or any random mount otherwise.

I'd like to see a "Favorite Mounts/Minions Roulette".

Where we pick only the ones we want.

I know this is an older post, but I would love this sooo much. I like having different mounts, but I really would love to be able to choose which different mounts are available for the two different roulettes.
Like I don't want any flying mounts (except the Kirin) in my land one and I don't want the airship in my flying one. This would be so fantastic.

A toggle on/off would make me actually use it. There's just some mounts I really don't like but I still have them because... well I'm a collector. :P

I'd love to toggle mounts on/off!
Not so much because there are mounts that I dont like (even though that is most certainly also the case) but even more so because there are some mounts (specially the Ahriman >.<) that trigger major headaches for me (stupid, flappy wings >.<) - I cant even look at them without feeling like I have to vomit and the possiblity to get them from the roulette made me never even try it...
