    I dunno...

    On the one hand, it'd be cool to have more mounts designed around the various classes/jobs.

    On the other hand, part of the reason for Tanks getting their own mounts is to entice people to actually play the role to help with the underpopulation within the DF, hence why these mounts are locked behind doing a bunch of DF content as opposed to CNJ (Not WHM) where it was a simple quest where you go heal a unicorn and that's it done.

    So, while personally, I'd love to see more mounts designed around the various jobs themes, I don't see it happening unless they also implement a new way to entice players to play Tanks in the DF to make up for the devaluing of the Tank mounts that these additions would cause.

    Why would they need to? People would still be enticed for the same reasons they are now: to get unique mounts. They are not going to be able to get the same mounts by playing another job.

    They would need to because why would a DPS main want to bother going through the DF grind for the Tank mounts when they can get a bunch of mounts from playing their DPS classes?

    Like, you can argue that the 3 specific mounts that you get from the Tank achievements are enough of a draw in of themselves, but they become less valuable when you toss in a bunch more for all the other classes.

    ESPECIALLY if you make them as simple to get as the Unicorn or if you make them as cool (Or cooler) than the current Bear/Lion/Panther.

    Literally these Tank mounts exist as a "Come play Tank in DF and you can earn a mount!"

    They're not particularly tied to the Tanks individual aesthetic, they aren't earned by doing a unique thing specific to the tank (Such as using the specific heal on the unicorn for the CNJ quest), they're simply there to help push people who would otherwise never tank in DF to play the role.

    If they add in mounts for all classes, it stops being "Hey, come play Tank in DF to earn a mount!" and starts being "Hey, come play Tank in DF to earn this specific mount. Also, screw you Tank mains we're sticking your class mount behind DF grinds as opposed to every other class in the game getting their mounts from another source"

    Again, I'd like to see mounts themed to each class, I think it'd be pretty cool. But they would need to re-imagine the reward that is currently supposed to be enticing people to play the underpopulated role in DF content.

    By this argument any mount they add to the game makes the tank mounts less valuable. You really only have a point if the only mounts in the game were the tank mounts. As it is now people will only try for the tank mounts if they want the SPECIFIC mounts, since there are plenty of mounts in the game.
