Mount Skins Ideas

Hello!
I was thinking about mount skins i would love to see in the shop and i had 2 ideas:
1."Guild" Mount Skins - Mount skins that display the guild emblem (on a caparison or saddle with a long"cloth" part attached to it )
2.Adventure/Exploration Mount Skins - Skins with bags/sleeping bag , hanging sword etc.
What do you think ? What skins would you like to see in the shop?

Guild mount skins in particular would probably be quite interesting, if modeled well
I'm all in favour of Guild Mount skins
What sleep is here? What dreams there are in the unctuous coiling of the snakes mortal shuffling. weapon in my hand. My hand the arcing deathblow at the end of all things. The horror. The horror. I embrace it. . .
Guild skins sound like an interesting idea.
I'm waiting for a sylvari themed skin pack. I want a huge sylvan hound as a jackal skin at least.

I like the idea of guild mounts.
I also really want sylvari themed mounts. Ideally ones which can be dyed to suit a normal sylvari, nightmare or mordrem theme. But I'd be happy with just sylvari ones, I love the idea of my character riding around on a giant fern hound.

I think a pirate themed set could be cool.
Insect mounts, undead mounts, ice frozen mounts. Heavy armor mounts, skinny mounts, fat mounts, ooze shaped mounts, flag carrier mounts, candy mounts, mechanical mounts, wooden puppet mounts....list is endless
I just look forward to seeing more dragon mount skins. I wound up liking the humming bird way more than I thought though. And I'm glad they decided to get a bit more creative this time than just throwing a sparkle texture on the regular model.
hoping for some sylvari themed mounts. Oof and can't wait to see the different dragons skins for the upcoming skydrake, although always wanted an Aurene mount </3 sounds weird but maybe even mounts inspired from defiant glass armored mounts would look cool or even passed Black lion weapon skins can inspire more mount skins.

I would not mind one based on Gum Drops, the Noble Steed in Guild Wars.
My bets are they will make good money on guild one for warclaw

I would like to see mechanical/steampunk mountfits, Or even mytical creatures. Would be cool to have my raptor look like a unicorn.
Fern Hound sounds so much like a no-brainer for the Jackal. And when you blink it would leave behind a swirl of leaves (preferred) or if they want to go econo, green mist.
To the OP's suggestion, that sounds more like "Saddle skins" than actual mount skins though. Wouldn't be surprised if they actually added something like that, so players had another thing to buy all the skins for to have every single saddle skin in the game, I'm guessing the usual-suspects would go wild on that.
Personally, I'm just hoping they eventually make some skins that will actually make me want to use some of the mounts. I generally dislike most of the skins so far, and the only one I've found more than a single skin I like for is the Raptor. Ah well, everyone has different taste.
Edit: If I see that ******* ****** ****** Whale from ff14 in GW2 I quit!

That's not even the same body type?
I am a very casual player.
Very.
Casual.
Mordrem and Risen mounts.
One idea that would be somewhat cost extensive would be an actual racial set.
Now, hold your non-existent horses.
What i mean is, you buy the raptor, but it will have 5 skins depending on your character.
For example, the raptor will be a normal raptor in Defender Armor for a human.
It will be a golemoid- for an asura. Dryadic for a sylvary. Etc.
For the norn, it could actually be a Wild Spirit (or a minotaur), and for the charr it would look like a raptor in armor, with mechanic parts with a forge-like chestpiece. Pistons along the legs to support its jumping power
@OP, guild mounts are a great idea.
But maybe they would be even better if they were unlocked by a great effort of the guild working together, rather than a simple gem store purchase. That would give them some emotional value as well

Zhaitan reunites lost ones, primordus creates fertile land, mordremoth spreads the green, and jormag..
..jormag? Who's that?
We kinda have that already in a way...Exo Suit>Asura Shiverpeak > Norn
Exo suit, sort of, yea
But I was thinking more golem than just a few attached parts.
And for the norn I was thinking spirit, or greater beasts, since they’re hunters. Not regular mounts in Braham’s bra

Maybe a bit late in the festival, but I'll say it anyway, Super Adventure Box mounts.
WEENIE DOG MOUNT PLOX.
Sylvari-themed (I'm even okay with just the usual mount models but covered in "dye-able" vines and plant-like doodads.)
Charr-themed (Steam-punk style or battle-ravaged)
Check out the fable of the Boiling Frog.
It was a waste not to make a super adventure frog skin for the Springer

It makes a difference if its purchased through the guild vendor or the gem store, because honestly it should be on the guild vendor.
Well how about some mythology themed mounts and some used from Guild Wars 1. The Kirin/Pixiu & Chimera mount for Warclaw. The Bat mount for Skyscale. The Celestial Dragon mount for Skimmer. The Phoenix mount for Griffon. Bonebreaker/Rolling Devil mount for Roller Beetle. The Maguuma Toad for Springer. The Stonehead mount for Raptor.
Actually, there have been a few which could be described as 'saddle skins.' Like the Shiverpeaks and Awakened mount packs. IMO, it would be a good idea if they did add some nice, small but noticeable tack changes to the just-a-recolor mounts, to make them a little more distinctive and desirable.
Of all the suggestions for mount skins, I think the Sylvari ones have been requested the most consistently since mounts began, and I wish Anet would get on it.
I’d love sylvari-themed mounts, especially if the jackal made it’s leap in a swirl of leaves!
Personally, I’m not keen on guild mounts. I prefer to customize my look for my character and plus some of the logos are unattractive. Perhaps it could be an optional part of a skin?
I’d also love to see a spider mount!
All-in-all, really love what Anet’s done with the mounts and look forward to seeing more!
I'm hoping that they'll add mount skins for the year 7 chest (pick one a year).
