Did You Want Mounts Implemented into Guild Wars 2?

I'm surprised there isn't already one about this!Since mounts were announced it was obvious there was a split between those who wanted mounts and those who didn't. I think it'd be interesting to see how forum users are divided on this subject.

Not sure the point of this though? Why divide? Mounts are in the expansion. At this point we should be offering ideas on how to balance/enhance them. This just seems like a poll to help one side do a see that's what we thought. Sorry if you really are just interested but some people on either side are quite passionate on it even if I am not. 2 cents.

I really didn't care either way. The game was fine without them but having them will be nice, and new mounts are something that can be added in further expansions

Pretty much agree with all of this. But if being divided means I can pillage and loot the BLTC, then give me a sec to light my torch.

I don't see a "I didn't really care either way but after trying them out, I'm happy to have them" option.

This!I did not want them, but also did not not want them. The Dev's decided they introduce them. And at this moment I really like how it turns out.So yes, atm i want them in the game!

This just popped up in my head.Reward players that have both expansions, by creating a mount for HoT, with HoT masteries?

Btw: I didn't vote, because none of the options are my options.

That would have been the ideal option for me, as well. But since it wasn't there, I went with "Didn't want them but am OK with them now" option.

Mounts are one of the most popular items in MMOs. It's safe to assume that the majority doesn't care or would rather have them.

I didn't want mounts before, but I think now I need to clarify that I didn't want "just" mounts. Mounts that were just there as something flashy to be a movement buff.

What we have now isn't that, it's something better. Movement abilities, gameplay mechanics, and the stuff that comes with those, all in the mount package. That I'm happy with.

It's to early for this poll.Currently would have answered "no and still no", but somebody should reply after some weeks of playing, at least.

I've always been on the view that mounts are an important part of an MMO, not just as a transport device (Always hated the "we have waypoints so don't need mounts" argument), but as a part of the character, customisation, image and style.

This is why I absolutely love ANet's direction with the mounts. They are not just move speed boosters, they are fundamental devices for exploring the new content and, from what we've seen of the PoF story so far, a core part of the narrative.

right now I'm answering 'no and still no'. that opinion may change at a later time. I didn't play the beta (I don't like spoiling things for myself), so don't really know what they are like compared to other games. I will know for sure at release what my real opinion is, when I, personally, get to see.

I love the addition of mounts. It's been something I missed for years now and finally we're getting mounts - they are needed and they'll make the game better.

Heyho,

first i was completly against mounts in GW2. But the way they seems to be implementet changes my mind. They seems not just another simple way to travell, they have their purpose for exploring and individual skills for that case. Also i liked the real organic feeling of the raptor in the demo/stress test. So i i'm looking now forward to them.

Didn't want mounts before, and still don't after trying them out. I'm sure I'll get used to them eventually though, just like I got used to the (IMO) annoying map design of HoT.

Oh man, the HoT maps still bug me.

Oh that completely slipped my mind. I should have included an option for those who didn't care that they were implemented, but I don't see a way to edit the poll. . .

I didn't want them years ago, but after gliders, I saw they could be actually good, with their own special mechanics and such, and not just glorified speed boosters.

So I'm very happy ArenaNet introduced them the way they did.

I've never really cared with waypoints and smaller maps; but gliders added a lot of mobility. From what I've seen the mounts aren't just a way to get around quickly though; each mount has it's own specific uses.

I love the idea.

"Did not care about mounts, but now disappointed that they were so high up the priority list".

I didn't want them because I didn't see the point but they implemented them well, so good job Anet. Give me a /pet emote so I can pet my raptor and I'll be happy.

As long as they are kept to the expansion zones, I'm fine with them. Don't bring them into core Tyria!!!

Nobody tell them.

Why is this poll shouting at me?

That would be me too.

I was 99% sure they wouldn't put them in the game just as a speed boost thing, because if there's 1 thing Anet are consistent on it's doing things differently and never adding something from other games exactly as we've seen it before just for the sake of having it, they always want to put their own spin on it.

But I wasn't sure how they could be different or if it would be a good addition to the game. As it is I think it's an interesting mechanic which is definitely a bonus to have.

My option isn't there: did not have a preference either way.
