Mount scaling is ridiculous.

[XNihili]

Your taru sized mounts are a joke, especially the Coeurl mount looks like you stole the family cat. I'm with OP for one size fits all.

Ok but lalafell size then. I would love to see Roe on lalafell sized mounts.

Why single out mounts? Gear scales too, you don't find it odd that a Galka can pass a breastplate to a Taru but it magically fits both of them? At least mounts can be explained away, lore-wise (ie different breeds, younger mounts etc). If this really bugs you, why doesn't gear scaling?

Also, with the exception of the PVP warhorses there aren't any horses in the game. Sleipnir is a magical creature and the Unicorns are unicorns.

Edit: I don't know why we're using XI terms, but I like it

everthing should be Miqo'te size, also the gear

Frontline war horses look more like donkeys.

Ask and ye shall receive.

Real life small horses don't look like miniature full size horse. Their proportions are different. This is why scaling full size mounts looks weird. You can't go wrong with one size fits all.

Actually, there is a category of horse breeds whose proportion almost perfectly match the ones of normal size horses. They do so in such a recognizable way that they were labeled "miniature horse" to be told apart from mini ponies such as the Shetland Pony and others.

While miniature horses are the size of a very small pony, many retain horse characteristics and are considered "horses" by their respective registries. They have various colors and coat patterns.

Miniature horses are friendly and interact well with people. For this reason they are often kept as family pets, though they still retain natural horse behavior, including a natural fight or flight instinct, and must be treated like an equine, even if they primarily serve as a companion animal. They are also trained as service animals, akin to assistance dogs for people with disabilities. Miniature horses are also trained for driving, equine agility and other competitive horse show type events.

The most popular example of miniature horse is a breed called Falabella, so small it is mostly used as a company pet, or only ridden by very young kids.

With all that being said, I'd kill for a Roe-sized Sleipnir.

No thanks I love our tiny mounts

[Arkine]

Oh look, a real life logic thread. While we're at it, if you sleep a bird, it should fall to the ground, and if you heavy a slime it should spread out.

Yes. I would love that. Can we have that? Is anybody here against this?

ever hear of a Shetland? there's nothing wrong here. Maybe take shrinking out of st since it makes ppl look ridiculous? :P

That's what you think a full sized horse looks like?

*Sneezes* Excuse me, I'm allegric to straw.

You have bested me, sir.

Not sure why they'll let those be war horses though.

But I'm sticking to my guns on the bears, coreuls and lions.

I 100% support this!
