What is the point of mount drops...

[Elladie]

And yet you also continue to consider the possibility that there are some people that don't need to do the things you are doing. Not want. Need.

Some of us are level capped on everything. That's a giant chunk of open world time that we no longer need to engage in. What are we going to do? Grind FATEs for mats that don't sell or items we already have? And what tomestones? The beast tribe ones? The quests that take a few minutes to complete and then you're done? Or are you referring to maps, where it's jump from one spot to another between zones until you get your instanced treasure vault?

My point is that once you're done, that's it. What's the draw to the open world when you have done everything each zone has to offer? Stand around and take screenshots? Fly around in circles and gather the thing that the bots will tank the price on immediately?

...

I'm not sure how else I can emphasize that I wish there was more open world content. Perhaps it's just that my definition of what that would be is different than what everyone else's is.

I feel very sorry for you if you only ever do stuff that you NEED to. I mean, I don't NEED to play this game, but I want to. You clearly don't grasp the concept of doing something just because it's enjoyable. I mean I don't NEED to go out in the open world in RL either, I can just use my very basic mount to get to work (which is clearly an instance) and then back home again and stay in bed all weekend. But I don't do that because there are things in the RL open world THAT I ENJOY DOING. I know, how weird is that ...

I don't NEED to gather mats, but I enjoy it. I don't NEED to do beast tribes, but I enjoy it. If I don't enjoy things (like roulettes) I don't do them. But there are enough things I do enjoy in the game that I continue playing it. If you don't have things you enjoy doing, maybe you should go play something else for a while?
