Whether or not it works or not is irrelevant.

This is the current reasoning for the implementation of "Class Mounts", with CNJ's Unicorn being the exception. Thus, it's unlikely that they will add more class mounts unless they create new rewards to entice players to Tank in DF much like the current Tank mounts try to incentivize.

If anything, the fact that Tanks are still in the minority in DF even despite this enticement signals that they're even less likely to consider adding more class mounts before adding a new reward, rather than being more inclined to add other class mounts because the current implementation is not having as large an impact as desired.

Again, this isn't me being anti-class mount, as I've mentioned, I'd love to see a bunch of class mounts. I'm just being realistic in terms of the likelyhood of such a thing happening. Unless they go all out and give the Tank classes new class mounts in addition to the ones from the DF grind achievements, but then you'd still be able to complain about favouring certain classes for mount rewards.

As such, the most logical thing would be to replace the rewards from the Tank achievements for something else desirable (But then you'd get complaints about favouring certain classes for X, Y or Z rewards now...)

I mean I'd love to see things like:

A cool, new, unique personal airship for Machinist.

A cool summon for SMN (Perhaps one of XIII's "Summons are also vehicles because why not" things?)

Maybe Bard could get a pair of angelic wings as a Cupid reference?

Astrologian could get a mount made out of celestial patterns (Much like WoW's "Celestial Steed")

I just don't know if it's likely to happen.
