1. i saw the uldahn cutscene. that makes sense to tame it, not to ride it. because after taming they wouldn't use them for other purposes? In real life they used to tame feral horses and re-purpose them for plenty of issues. It doesn't make sense that people ride horses?
5. and lastly. its not changing my immersion, its common sense, with bunny hopping, people dont do that in the real world. thats not me, thats common knowledge. swimming i dont have as much of a problem with. and i wouldnt have as much of a problem with the mounts but everyone is gonna be on some mount at all times, thats just not believable. its clear that it is a game, but a good RPG game designer does his best to cover that up

You bring real life situations into this conversation where you stated that "you want to believe this is a different world". Why?

Think about that for a second:

"Believing it's another world" means the world you're experiencing feels like an actual world -- Clearly it would be a different world from our earth in a logical stand point, but the reason people like stories like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and (insert billions of disney stuff) is because even though it's fiction, it's like a 'real world'.

^this - times a lot...

I'm pretty sure (or at least, would hope) that when players are using "real" or "real world" in the context of a fantasy game that they're referring to the realism of the fantasy itself (or elements of the fantasy world). Even though games are fantasies there still exist levels of "believability" in them; just like in movies with fictional stories - otherwise they're just straight up bizarre like the shows (and games) you find on Adult Swim o.O
