No, I am not asking for a WoW clone. I just figure, since it's an open environment, that there will be some sort of player-controlled transportation. (other than running, lulz) What do you think? Dragons for sure. ArenaNet is badass like that. Do you think they will allow flight? Also badass.
Once again, just because WoW has done it, doesn't mean that, if it's in another game, it a clone. I do commend ArenaNet for original creatures.

Don't quote me on this but i think i read somewhere that flying mounts won't be in game, not sure but this might suggest mounts of some kind but it could also mean no mounts at all, only time will tell really. |

I may be in the minority, But I really have no desire for mounts. I have never liked mounts, and I dislike pets in game as well. Maybe I am just a freak, but I have never had an interest in the " animals" in game.. to me it is more of a hassle and adds nothing to my gameplay expierance.. but hey that is just my 2 cents. |

Mounts rock. And the many ways they can be used (Speed, Combat) Even DnD table top has mounts |

It will probably have the fast traveling sort of thing like in guild wars 1 were you open map and click on some town and get there instantly if discovered :P |

I don't think they will. GW2 will be open-world so it's not like there will be loading screens everywhere. It's certainly possible but i just don't think ArenaNet will do that.

I haven't read anything about mounts. They will have the Asuran gates though so you'll get your instant travel there. |

i think i read somewhere GW2 won't have mounts. Mounts would be nice, but i wouldn't miss them that much, either. Hype train -> Reality |

What are you talking about? Mounts are bought with in-game gold... Unless, of course, there is a "cash store" but we all know ArenaNet isn't doing that lol.

Considering it's more of a persistant world, I say yes to mounts. Even if you can still map travel or use gates there is no reason you can' have mounts too.. it's fun, it adds more content to the game... it's more of a persistant world so you'll be traveling around more... so I think the benifits of having mounts outweigh the negative. Although I don't think they will have mounts, and that's okay, I still think they should consider adding them just to have more content and just for fun.

They were a money-sink just like the player houses were. Served no other purpose. One game that has horses and properly uses them within the game is Mount&Blade which has an excellent combat system for a small indie game.

You're acting like creating mounts is a massive project NCsoft will have to undertake, a project larger than the game GW2 itself....mounts add to the experience of a game. When one gets to a certain level and they can ride a mount, it's fun. We're all Geniuses. Most of us just don't know it.

When one gets to a certain level and they can ride a mount, it's fun. Of course this is a matter of opinion.. they have never done anything for me perosnally... nope , nothing but an annoyance .. LOL can;t tell ya why I don;t like them, I just never have. I hate pets in game and summoned creatures as well, but maybe that is because I really do not like NPC's at all, I would rather have everyone in the game actual players, and only train on other players .. but that is just my opinion as well. If they ever did add them, I would hope they would be a completely optional accessory, that I am not required to use and do not give an advantage in game simply because I would not want to be " forced " to use something that ia an annoyance to me. LOL I would like to keep the ability to "opt out" of mounts usage and still be able to enjoy the game. |

lol @ the opening. Do people really think if a game has a mount it is a WoW clone?
Anyway. I've always loved mounts. So long as their animation and size fit the actual game and don't look... awkward of half-assed. I like the majesty of having a mount, the speed increase, and the kind of 'fun' riding a mount provokes. Believe it or not, MMO's are about fun (for the players at least). If you like mounts and they are available, awesome. If you dislike mounts, don't buy one. I think mounts are perfectly harmless and do add a possibility to the game. Sure, they're a gold sink but what isn't?
However, I doubt GW2 will put mounts in. I'd be really happy if they did. If not, oh well, I'd still be happy.

Mounts would be a great money sink and vanity item. Right now the only vanity item is armor and pets. I think a Charr giving a piggy-back ride to an Asura would be fun. |

Mounts would be ok but not needed in this type game. Besides it F2p. Mounts I think not. |

What on earth has being f2p got anything to do with having mounts, and what kind of game type are you talking about? The game is not yet released...how could you possibly know that "mounts are not needed". I think that, if implemented appropriately, mounts would add much to immersion and general fun. |
