Had Anet showcased their intentions with the mounts, I believe that the negativity would have been considerably less. Until they were released, though, I believe that most here didn't want mounts because of how mounts are implemented in other games which wouldn't add any intrinsic value in GW2. Resources were thought to be better spent elsewhere when mounts weren't needed.
At the time this was most likely a feature deep in the development plan, so stating what they wanted to do would create "false promises" outcries if they couldn't deliver on 100% of their vision. We still dont really know what was the true initial vision and we never will. The feedback was so loud and so negative that any game dev would trust to gow ith it. Had they trusted the community instead of trusting their ability, everyone would lose out. This was a case of "mom knows best".

Read their essays then make up your mind, that's my take. Revolutionary stance to have on a forum I know, but hey I am pretty amazing.
I would hate to see Anet allocating the amount of resources needed to read all those essays that dissect so many game details, that money should be used elsewhere. These essays that split hairs cause actual constructive feedback to be lost in the haystack. So instead as a compromise we are left with the right amount of forum resources having to cherry pick feedback threads that seem to have potential for useful feedback.

People universally love the Mounts,
This makes me giggle. I remember the days when simply mentioning any mount system ever would get everyone bent out of shape with anger. Had Anet listened to the forum community we would not have any mounts at all. This is just to show that the feedback from forum players should be taken with a pound bag of salt.

And what I'm trying to say here is that this forum community's negative-as-hell opinions should be taken with a huge grain of salt.
I 100% agree with you. The GW2 gaming community is the BEST community of gamers from any games out there. They are welcoming, warm, willing to help and teach. It is very rare to have such a beautiful community in a video game that is free to access (core Tyria anyways). We need to cherish it.
The FORUM community however is a very small and very loud minority. These players are willing to take huge chunks of their free time to write extensive essays and reply to essays with other essays, all about some armor skin or a mount feature. I have played many games but haven't seen such polar opposites between the game community and forum community. To add, anyone stepping in will be chastised unless they are posting criticism.
I mean, have you seen the EoD feedback threads? The expack isnt out yet, all we have seen are previews from the devs that showcase a small portion of content. And yet threads after threads about expectations that were destroyted, player trust betrayed, lack of new features etc. The game isn't tested by players yet and the reviews are already in!
I don't post much at all, i usually browse. I took this time because I feel you, what you are feeling is why I don't bother outside of my own communities. It isn't you, its something about these boards that turns people into what GW2 community is not and has not been since the days of GW1 beta.

My nostalgia demands a Jade Sea that was frozen in time, and the people who lived there while being cut off from others are also frozen in time and tradition.

I would also love to see more skins brought back from Guild Wars 1 either as skins our outfits. This would be a great way to tickle the factions Nostalgia when EoD is out. SOme of the new outfits released are so over the top, while Guild wars 1 arnors had wonderful but more subtle designs.

I would like to have the ability to swap currently owned outfits for new ones available in the gem store. I would even be happy with a 2 old for 1 new ratio.

Please add character select feature like in Black desert, where we can check the character's inventory bag without loading them up? Pretty please? Will make it easier to find what character has what rare/unique/gem store that couldnt be placed in family inventory.
