In-game mounting
Fox Skyre
Does anyone else think that it would be pretty cool if they updated the game in a way that players could hire out Moa bird etc.. to get around faster. Because i think it would be really good fun.

Get around faster?

Using the word "mount" in suggestions should be a bannable offence.
johnnylange
Any posts with mounts or horses has been argued immensely. Search for either word and you'll find plenty of talk on this topic. As for me on this...i'm all for it! I think they get rid of the map warping so there is a reason for mounts... 
shinseikaze
this has been discussed so many times its about 50/50 for mounts

Now if only a Ranger could fire a bow from a mount while moving...

Id half to agree with jonnylange, get rid of the map warping, how unrealistic, not that making meteors fall fromt the sky or raising bone monsters from dead people is realistic. But those are the reasons we play the game. Mabey make it so map warping can only be done from town to town, not mission area to mission are. This topic isnt worth the breath im putting into it.

"Tengu Wings": Item; Failure Rate: None
When used inside a dungeon, player is instantly returned outside.
"Wings": Level 16 Sage Spell; Failure Rate: Often
Transports player to any previously visited castle. When used inside a dungeon, player is instantly returned outside. There are some dungeons where this spell (and similar abilities) will not work.

I think the idea was to rampage around within the map. Not from town to town.
ex. Riding from Lion's Arch to the south of Kessex's Peak to do the longest mission. Riding through monsters and gaining attack and defence bonuses. Having the ability carry extra items via saddle bags. Which will be fun if the mount dies and other 'funness' related to being 'saddled' with a mount.
On foot you have to slug it out like the other peons.
Quit being so goddamn narrow minded.

mmmmmm....warping. Why walk or ride when you can warp?

I AGREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why are people so against mounts in this game?? Map Travel? What if I want my level 20 to travel to Dragon's Gullet? Yes, I can map to Piken... Map travel brings you to cities, but the coolest places to visit aren't in the cities, they're out in the field! People are concerned with breezing through quests, but what if a mount was an end game "purchasable" reward? I would completely drain all of my savings to get a mount in game. Perhaps it could be a skill that you must equip, and maybe you wouldn't be allowed through portals with it unless A: the rest of the party is dead, or B: the whole party is near your level (ie. 17/18+) or C: the rest of the party is visible on the compass map, or D: you are alone. This would prevent mounted players from rushing others through zones.
Mounts are a great idea!!! If thought about properly there is no logical reason to argue against having them... how could they harm the game if the above mentioned safeguards are put into place?
edit: please never ever get rid of map travel. I think mounts are more concerned with A: coolness and fun factor, B: in-instance travelling

magic carpets. use existing collectors and assorted npcs already in place. rent and ride. steerable. hovers at a constant 1 foot off of surface area. travels at 2x normal speed. must dismount to fight. picture something like the drop item button. max capacity 1 person. disappears whenever you enter a town.

That would be cool... and I would love to see it. I would probably use it too, although if given the choice I would prefer to use a mount.
What if the carpet's price was like 5p or 10p to keep people from abusing it, or what if it was like 2p and disappeared at a portal and not just a town. This way you wouldn't have a rush problem. And if someone is willing to pay the collective total of like 100p to rush to crystal desert, dammit they deserve to get rushed
but I'd still prefer mounts. What if it was not just an end game quest reward, but a reward for ALL missions, bonuses and available quests. This would give PvEers (those without any need to unlock all runes, etc.) a reason to finish all quests. I would definately "grind" through every POST-SEARING quest to get a mount. (I say post cuz we can't go back to do the pre-searing missed quests any more...)
go mounts go!!! and even though I wouldn't use them much, go carpets go!!!!

Maybe the devs don't want people to be able to travel anywhere on the map within 5 minutes? If you want to get to a hard to reach area, shouldn't you be required to fight your way there? Otherwise, there really isn't such a thing as a hard to reach area.

I know in WoW you really need mounts, cuz you are walking and riding all day. but in guild wars, you can map travel to the closest location, then walk to the place you want to go.

It's not a matter of mounts being good or bad, it's that this has been discussed COUNTLESS times.
Some want some don't who cares it's been discussed.

You responded, "Quit being so goddamn narrow minded." Considering your evasive and negative attitude towards discussing the actual issues involved with the implementation of mounts, I ask you, "Who's narrow-minded now?" Certainly not me.

The tanks have rolled in and over this issue many times. It is dead, quit poking it with a stick.
If you love mounts so much go play Super Mario and ride around yoshi for awhile.
Mounts are just the simple exploitation of innoncent animals. Look at the Stone Summit? Do those Dolyaks look happy?

Although I would love a Dolyak as a mount.

Why not just keep map travel as is and have mounts for fun or for those who like to explore? Seems like an ok idea to me that doesn't really affect much.

So far I've made 3 mount topics myself 
so I agree, the main reason was that they would take up to much of the dev time and bandwich.I would love to get a mount as a end of game reward with money included of course.
Like I said in another topic of mine "people will get guild wars then come to forums and make topics about mounts because they want to get a mount."I don't care how it looks, it could be a white box for all I care.Add them in, instant travel is only good for stuff you have done.
Quests can take up to 2 hours even if your not fighting enemys on the way.
