I don't mind it, what I do mind is that you have to dismount for every little thing.

As many have said, way too much confirmation. What I'd do is slice off much of the "are you sure, that you're sure, really really sure??? stuff as suggested. The agony of dispatching retainers is one place where more clicks can be eliminated that need to be used to dispatch. The solution is a single special window - "Undo previous transaction," valid for all but MB interactions, for a minute or so. MB is trickier if the seller pounces on his proceeds instantly, but likely could be done with a delay or two... or maybe just left as is. By and large, however, just letting us undo the unfortunate mindless click would take care of most exhausted driver flubs. It is there now in crafting, in a way, with "trial synthesis." However it is fixed, getting rid of many of the useless clicks in the game gets my click.

I'm pretty okay with the mount cast time.
Not automatically dismounting when I attack drives me nuts.
Please let us do this, SE. Make it a toggle, even.
Which games? Because all the serious games have cast time on mounts.
By serious I mean games that are not F2P P2W, and have paid subscriptions.

The two games mentioned prior in this thread are both Pay to Win games, sadly both started out as good MMOs but became Pay to Win trash. No, I do not want pay to win trash to hit FFXIV.

Unless I am missing something in ESO, which I also play, it's not p2w, unless of course you are one of those that are of that camp that having to purchase the dlc to get access to the gear that drops from the content of said dlc makes it p2w, but if that's the case, so is xiv since you need to buy ShB to get items from ShB content.


Assuming it's not another spaghetti code issue, I'd certainly appreciate if they made it like SWTOR where there's still a cast timer, but you can move while doing it.




If they do end up taking it out, I hope they still leave it in for PVP.
Being able to mount/dismount in an instant would make invalidate sprint and make chasing people much less fun.



I don't mind that calling your mount isn't instant, but I do think it could be just a little bit faster, like half a second or so. The cast time for mounts is a bit too long, but fine otherwise.
I also have mount and sprint together in a macro on R3, and if mount didn't have to cast time, I probably couldn't choose to sprint anymore when both are available.
I wish we could talk to NPCs without dismounting more than it being instant, but both would be nice.
That's probably more to do with how NPC interactions work. So many conversations are basically mini-cutscenes, with gestures and emotes and stuff, that it's easier and less confusing to disallow mounted conversations altogether than to let you stay mounted for some but not others (probably can't talk to NPCs while sitting for the same reason.)
