    I actually wouldn't mind seeing a unique mount for each job. Just because there's an abundance of DPS (and the number of DPS jobs far outnumber the number of Tank or Healer jobs) doesn't mean those jobs shouldn't get attention. A cosmetic on your mount to do 8-man content is no real incentive to be that particular role. However, the incredibly short queue-times are.

    But yes, someone already pointed out the Unicorn for WHM. Though I don't look forward to the DRK flood when Expansion drops - though hopefully that'll phase out after a month, the people who play it because it looks cool or uses a zweihander. I've encountered enough Tanks that somehow make it to KotL through the cool factor of axes and/or swords and playing the game like it's a single-player game or that they're the only one that matters and everyone else is a NPC. My gawd the horror....

    Everyone loves to claim how WHM gets a mount, when actually, Conjurer gets the mount.

    When a Realm Reborn was released, there were 8 starting classes, and only one of them was a healing role. Due to the 5 dungeons and a trial before level 30 that (more or less) required a healer, SE was wise to incentivise people to play that role from 1-30. This actually has absolutely nothing to do with Scholar not getting a mount and white mage getting one. That is false.

    And of course, as mentioned, if you want the bread, sometimes you have to go get the grain.

    Yea, the only problem was you couldn't attack or use skills while mounted.

    What they need to do is add more benefits for being a tank. I wanted to be a WHM main but even the damn Ex Roulette queues are long. Gonna start making my Warrior Relic soon and even both jobs.

I feel kinda left out that I see all these posts about tank jobs getting special mounts and I don't play tank jobs. I really think Se needs to get there heads outta just tank jobs get special mounts or pvpers get special mounts and not the rest of the jobs. Anyone agree with me?
    But you say why they're rewarding players for leveling tank jobs right there in your post. They're trying to encourage more people to fill those roles in party so dps queues aren't quite as long, and newer players can get content done. We don't need to be encouraged to level dps jobs any more than we already are. If you want the tank mount, you'll level a tank job and get it. If you don't feel tanking is for you, then you'll either do without or you'll retire your tank once you have the mount. Same goes for pvp. If you want it you'll work for it, if you don't you won't. If the mount isn't important enough to you to put in the work for it, then it shouldn't be important enough to complain over. Non-issue. :P

    No you won't. As some have stated, none of the content you do before level 50 counts towards that 200. Additonally, not all of the content you can do after 50 counts, either.

    Actually Im speculating that the new dragon mount is actually dragoons special mount...but we will just have to wait and see.
    The reason I say this is because each time they showed the dragon mount, it is always some dragoon riding it.

    Maybe having a healer(general), casting(general) and melee/physical(general) specific mounts, and not job-based ones. Also, if they want to rememdy the tank issues, there needs to be more than just a mount that you only acquire from end game content.
