Thats an odd statement considering that Brad McQuaid was an open critic of (what he considered) World of Warcraft's simplistic design.

And further, these mounts have existed in the game long before open beta.

The idea behind these mounts (and many more that they have not released yet) is that if you see a creature in the world that looks like you could ride it - you probably can.

Youre reading more in to my statement than whats there really... it just struck me as kinda cartoony to be able to ride nearly anything for some reason. And what better example than the grandmother of all cartoony games? xD

No-one on these forums is Sephiroth. If you think you are, you need help.

cartoony to ride every creature in the game??

how is that in the slightest bit cartoony?

If anything it's closer to real life than cartoon world (apart from the initial creatures)

 

but I don't get what you're talking about. explain how it is cartoony? :/

OMG! Ponies!

When there's no new content, people complain. When there is, people will still find something to complain about.

"they're just mobs turned into mounts, bit of a cop out if you ask me."

 

haha seriously that's so stupid.

 

would you prefer they invented some entirely different specialized race of animal bred purely to be a mount? Or would you prefer to see a mob that you liked while fighting, and think  'oh, i'd like to ride that' and actually do it.

 

Yeah, a cop out, I mean who wants diversity and choice?!

It's totally lazy of the devs to make mounts out of realistic creatures. I mean, I want to ride a giant wedge of cheese and should be allowed to do it! Shame on those devs, shame. on. them!

Well let's face it...a giant turtle or a wyfern is much more feasible than a mountable pair or tweezers.
