Who wants them in GW2?
I say... they'd be total pwnage... I kinda wish GW2 will be like Silkroa in that there arent any portals and stuff so you can kinda roam and be leet and all that jazz.
Anyway... mounts are ftw in any game... i can see my monk roaming around on a beastly beast while healing my team. Mount kiting ftw ^^

I think that'd work in the GW universe quite nicely.
Having a class based around mount expertise would be very enjoyable, actually.
So hell yeah, why not.

Hells yeah I want me a lizard mount just like from episode 2 or was it 3.. What ever Obi or who ever was riding on.

I have a question : will we be able to map travel in GW2 ?
If yes, I don't really see the use of mounts.
If no, please give us mounts because I will be annoying to go from one town to another...
In GW1, there's no use for mounts, except to look good on it.

More e-peen and grinding for the perfect mount imo. Don't need it.

No.
Mounts would be the new e-peen. Mini-pets are bad enough.

If they want mounts they should bugger off to WoW. GW already clones WoW enough. (yes, I'm aware WoW wasn't the first to do mounts, but it's GW closest rival)

If GW2 is gonna be any good, it will keep map travel.
If we have map travel, we don't need mounts.
I don't want mounts in GW2, because if there's mounts, that's because there's no map travel. And map travel is epic win. kthx

They'd have to be careful with adding mounts.
Would it give an advantage in combat.
Would it be useable in Pvp.
Would a player have to work for a long time to get ones with the most advantages.
Would it lead to item stacking based advantages.
Would it make PvE mandatory to succeed in PvP.
It can break the game if not done right.
Currently the games I've played with mounts are PvE games with a flawed PvP element tacked on.

Map travel over e-peen mounts any day.
Now if they can incorporate both without making it too much like the mini-pet e-peen BS, then I can live with that. But, the day a certain mount is required for something is the day the GW discs become coffee mats

I feel the same way as Malice. GW felt like the first online rpg where it was about what the player was capable of not the character. In other online rpgs I played, the character's items were more important than the mind behind the character.
Delete the character and you are nothing in the game. In GW it was different. A really good player stands as a good player no matter whose character they are using.

It'd be brilliant if the pets we dedicated turned into mounts. So glad I kept my Varesh.

Anyway, I guess I can be serious for a sec or two. If mounts serve some sort of practical purpose that can't be fulfilled in some other way, sure, I wouldn't mind having one. But if we have faster means of travel, no real point in putting mounts in GW2.

DO NOT WANT
That being said...if we must endure mounts, I'd prefer that they function similarly to ranger pets. Give us a variety from which to choose, but make them all more or less the same.

Lol, well we got minipets, that other than looknig cool serve no purpose. I suppose if mounts were purely cosmetic, and it didnt make a difference if you were using them or not, then why not?
Although they may conflict with this class: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Iron_Legion
Fore those of you that are too lazy to press link, two words...
Seige Devourers
Maybe one more word for those of you that have not clued in...
Charr
if there is a similar class for each race, then i think mounts would probably be implemented ingame for these specific classes (to each race).
added: Or added ingame as the form of Large-scale pvp seige units (yes there will be a large scale pvp in the mists, as stated in several sources like magazine articles).

Anyways, mounts would suck. How the hell do I monk sitting on a turtle?

i still mounts should belong to a specific class.

*cough* check my last post for more info ... *cough*
just like Rangers : Pets
Charr "iron legion" : Mounts (seige purposes)

Since there will be Map Travel is GW2 , I see mounts ( if there are any ) would be useful for a character class. Or if simular to the wurms and siege devourers. I would not want to see mounts only as status symbols.

mm I would like get mounts ;f

runners = out
run yourselves w/ mounts = in
/lol
imo. theyd be awesome for the fun/heck of it for GW2, but not needed. (as the world of GW shows)
*unless they have a purpose that works with a new gameplay mechanic in GW2. meh why not...

need i say more? Anyone who's kept up to date with any articles on GW2 will know what i'm talking about.
added: You guys drain me... must i do all the work >_< ...
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/World_PvP
i can't see everyone using mounts, except for the fastest guy who can get to the seige turtle first O.o ...
Although if... Mounts counted as an "armor set" , and basically functioned the same. (you either wear your set of armor, or "wear" the mount.
Antithesis
Mounts are the only reason i played WoW...i couldn't handle the "pick up 18 apples" aspect of the game and quit at level 12.
I can see no application for a mount other than increased movement speed around a persistent world - with map travel and zone instances that's obsolete. It'd be fun and kinda kewl to have a mount, but how would it work in GW? I'm guessing the same as Siege Devourers and Wurms and that thrill wears off quickly.
I can't see it happening, but never say never...

Well, a mount being a sort of "Armor set" doesnt dound that bad. Sort of like "instead of your armor taking damage, your mount takes damage, etc..
like this picture i made for you all, to sort of make it so you can understand my concept better...

Yes, make GW2 another generic MMO, please.

Everyone said it already, but lets emphasize:
* Map travel -> Mounts are pointless. Feel free to add them to game for e-peen purposes as long as they are essentially useless goldsink as far as game mechanics is concerned.
* No map travel -> Traveling becomes timesink regardless of mounts existing or not existing. If i wanted to play that game i would be playing wow.
