Nope, why would we need them if we can travel to any town/city in a few seconds?

maybe this should've been in riverside, anyway i think we dont need mounts, as cool as it would be a)we have mapping b)in most casese your not equired to go over 4-5 zones without maping to a near outpost 3) the extra textures will cost a-net money which they are no fond of 4) its too much like wow

Uh, why? Why waste time with traveling?
Guild Wars is instant. And I prefer that any day over mounts.

Unless you mean for a symbol status type thing. In which case, meh.

No, no, 1000x no.

If you want a mount go find a Siege Devourer.

It'd be neat if we had to travel everywhere, but like the others have said, we have instant map teleporting. Maybe something for GW2?

You'd end up dismounted all the time by getting into constant combat, you can fast travel to anywhere in the world in seconds, no one would care if some random wammo in FoW armour had a horse, the list goes on.

It's already been said - map travel makes mounts completely unnecessary, unless you want them as a money sink. IMO, there's already enough money sinks in the current GW economy, so no thank you.

It'll be cool to see the 1.5k glads warrior on a mount and the Fow whammo with eternal blades walking.

Other than that ... No.

Why would we need mounts? There's fighting going on pretty much non-stop in PvE, you have insta-travel to any game locations.

Since you're fighting all the time, it would have to be either:

a) VERY quick at dismounting/mounting
b) Something like the Siege Devourer/junundu, and PvE is already easy enough without adding more invincible creatures to it.

OH MY GOD!
this guy has a macro, when he lands,
off of a flight, like a griffon,
he yells, "hello everyone, i am here"
and then he greets everyone warmly

also, map travel>mounts and such

Actually, didn't they say that "mounts" may be used in GW2?

It's rather pointless to speculate on mounts in GW at this point.

/notsigned.

If this game was not instanced and did not include mapping, then /signed. However, it does.

On a side note, get rid of instances, make this real world.

Vanity isn't the same as jealousy. I like to look good, not like a reject from Mario Bros. If you like it, you're more than welcome to parade in it. As for me, I like to look good.

Oh god, the lack of proper spelling and grammar hurts my eyes :'(

And I agree there shouldn't be mounts in Guild Wars, for all the reasons listed above

We don't need mounts, we can map to where we need to go. This was more of a discussion then a question so closed.
