@michaeldowling.4652 said:Change is good. The game mode hasn't changed much in a very long time - and its time to shake things up. This has potential to completely alter every WvW commander's strategy in WvW (as you pointed out) - while that might SEEM annoying to you as someone that just wants the same thing day in and day out, for many of us it gets old fast.
I welcome this change. Its time to mess with the veterans a bit, let them cry and whine because they have to learn something new, and then get over it while they eventually learn to have fun.
Not all change is good change. Yes, PPTing and Ktraining towers does get old fast, however winning fights and destroying other server's KDR never gets old. If it gets old, find a game-mode to you that doesn't get old, however don't come to something you dislike and try to change it in to something you do like. Veterans don't mind learning new things, however they do dislike having to learn broken things. They dislike having to accommodate for bad decision making when they've been asking for specific updates for quite a while. GW2 keeps it's WvW player base not because it is great, it keeps it's player base because it is the only game which does RvR in this style with this good of a combat system.I sincerely hope the current Anet devs can go back to the roots of the game, the roots that are the anchor as for why the game did so well to begin with. I agree that some change is good. Well thought out change where they've listened to feedback from the community that plays the game the most is good change. This change however, this change is coming from the vocal minority of WvWers who get bored quick and need something shiny to make it fun again.In my opinion, mounts wouldn't be terrible if they were simply used as movement tactics or could only be used in land you own. I hope the skills aren't overpowered and especially that they don't incorporate CCs. We will just have to wait and see though, as I sincerely hope the combat mechanics will not be affected.
A plea from the community - it's not too late to renege on mounts in WvW
in World vs. World
