Mob mounts. Do you want them? (Poll)

[El-Neko]

I'll probably be the only guy riding a Salamander if there was a mob mount...

[Preypacer]

It's only for us who stay. Which, let's admit it, is a small population compared to what we want it to be come 2.0.

I just hope SE doesn't do what other MMO devs have done when they've given out special things as "loyalty rewards"..

After a time, and enough complaining from people who felt "it was unfair that they were "punished" (yes, the the word punished has been used) for not starting the game when those who got the reward did.

In a number of those cases, the devs eventually caved and made them available to everyone, completely undermining the point and value of them being added in the first place.

Sounds like how people thought that fatigue was a punishment, when really it was a poor choice of words.

According to Reinheart's translations (who himself says to not take his translations as 100% accurate), those mounts are not neccesarily the ones they are giving as a special mount. Or for that matter, if they are giving a special mount at all. Yoshi-P is asking for it, it's not a definite thing.

Yoshi-P: Also since we’ve finished the mount system we asked if we can include special mount for those players who stay.
(Yoshi showing Ahriman)
Foxclon: It's Ahriman.
Yoshi-P: Yeah but doesn’t mean we’re giving Ahriman, we’re experimenting and testing different mounts for example.
(Shows Drake)
Yoshi-P: testing with wireframe.
Foxclon: so you will be able to ride different stuff
Yoshi-P: yes, we’re looking into it, add stuff players like/love... love... like this guy here.
(shows Goobue)
Yoshi-P: Looking to see if we can give something like this as a present for this time only.

There I am fine with mob mounts - for specific class only !

but if everyone could ride mobs, it would be weird. Ok, here goes.... Beast tamer maybe ?

[Synthesis]

I voted no for mob mounts,

However... I would vote yes in the case taht mobs will be mount-able only for specific class - like Beast Tamer or something.

Edit. Sorry for double post, mistake.

Yoshi please give us Ifrit and Shiva mounts and I also want a cash shop to buy multicolored mohawks and afros from.

I can't see these mounts completely eclipsing Chocobos in any way so I don't see what the problem is. Especially if there's enough of a diversity of different types you wouldn't see people all riding around on the same thing, as some seem to have a problem with. Honestly you'll probably see them around a lot for a week or so, then everyone will go back to riding Chocobos outside of showing off their different mounts.

To me, it makes less sense that we can't ride them. There's no lore saying we can't throw a saddle on monsters that are big enough and use them as mounts. It doesn't conflict with the current story or lore at all. I honestly don't see what the problem is. I don't see why we can't have Chocobos AND other things, I mean aside from people wanting to control what others do because it "annoys" them.

Also since they've pretty much finished the system and put all that money/work into it, it's going to come whether you all like it or not.

These are aggressive beasts, with no established facilities to domesticate them. That alone should be lore enough. It is possible that when the apocalypse happens, we capture some tamed Amalj'aa drakes, and then use them as mounts.

Otherwise, like I said, they aren't domesticated animals. Ever try to ride a feral animal?
