It's become a chore to even log on to the game

I wouldn't be for specific mounts having specific bonuses. At least not something that has to be bought to obtain. Same goes for minions, but more to the point that it just leads to situations where someone will find the pet that is "the best" and then you only ever see that one. I like running around with my little Baby Behemoth and being blissfully aware that I am not handicapping myself in some way.

Two things about this, people don't use minions at all now, besides a very few amount of players, I've collect over 40 or so I think and I still rarely use them.
Secondly, it's an absolutely miniscule difference for any meaningful ones, less than food currently but to add neat effects and small boosts that are completely negligible, only the hardest of the hardcore would min/max with, there's nothing stopping you from using Baby Behemoth.

Though for mounts, I mainly said it because everything feels the same, like different skins on the same wire mesh, even the Ahriman feels like it's walking on the ground and not actually floating/flying
