And in 1.20b we'll have...

I said it once, I'll say it again, Sigfried and roy.......... Can't tame wild beasts, its in their genes

So one instance of failing to tame a wild animal in the real world means that in a world of vast technology and magic it's not possible? Try again.

just go on google you will find more than one. A fantasy world must have basic laws of nature in it, branch off from there. Ya know, like gravity? Genes? Everything must be explained. That is why, the only way I will except this is beastmaster only

I never got the whole "It's a fantasy" argument -- yet Lord of the Rings is clearly fantasy yet it still had a realistic aspect to it -- There's fantasy of all kinds, it doesn't have to be a crayon factory game like WoW is to be a fantasy, even Ul'dah's opening shows that nothing is flawless.

Thus why a class dedicated to monster taming (aka training) would cement that idea even better than random adventurer a walking up to a monster and taming it out of the blue, since as someone said "in a world of vast technology and magic", you'd think there would be practitioners in monster training that can teach you (aka class/job unlocking) to do as such.

Umm..they haven't even released how we obtain this new mount. What if it is a quest where we get it as a reward and it is already tamed for us? No one knows yet unless I missed something where they released every last detail about it, or if I am misunderstanding you.

And why does it make sense for a Beastmaster and no one else? Is no one else capable of the learning the same means of taming beasts or using the same magic? Let me introduce you to the Armoury system where all characters can learn all trades. Perhaps some NPC who is/was a Beastmaster gives you the Goobue or at least teaches you how to keep him under control. Completely plausible.

Come on now, you know full well it makes sense that a class or job can do something another cannot, you know full well that's beyond ok to do in an MMORPG.

Let me introduce you to the overhaul to the class system and job introduction to give people defined roles.

I suppose the same reason it makes sense that Gladiators aren't masters of the elements and Lancers aren't masters of curative magic.
