Mounts everywhere day.

I don't think it's "negative" to immediately point out the obvious server strain issues or how players will immediately abuse the feature in order to make others have a bad day. I mean, I have slight lag in a player-filled Eulmore right now with a god PC and amazing internet. I feel bad for people who play on consoles or potato PC's.

But that's not all that can be said about it. The fact that someone's mind immediately jumps to possible downsides of the suggestion at hand is what makes them come off as negative. I didn't even see anyone try to name possible pros of it, only cons. Hahaha imagine if that's how the world acted anytime a new idea was introduced,

"What??? Cars? NO THANKS. Horses are fine, Cars will require so much more work to maintain and are way more dangerous and so much more. Bad idea."

"What??? Xbox? NO THANKS. Microsoft should stick to computers and software. Video games will only lead to violence and will negatively influence our kids. Bad idea."

It mostly comes down to knowing how people on the internet tend to be. If there's a way for someone to troll people, then by the Twelve they will do it.

Ironically, that IS how people acted when cars started to become more accessible...

On Topic:

How many places are there where mounts aren't usable?

How many places would actually benefit from being able to use mounts?

Off the top of my head, I can only think of:

1) Duties, Gridania, Limsa Lominsa, Ul'dah, Ishgard, Eulmore, Crystarium inside Housing, Lyhe Mheg.

2) Ishgard, Lyhe Mheg. Maybe Ul'dah and Crystarium (They have annoying Aetherite placement vs the things you actually have to go to for stuff)
