Also as can be seen like 95% of the WvW playerbase has mounts now, most veterans had PoF and those who have been away longer... Well maybe they should just buy PoF. Yeah and that was also bad, but nothing is as bad as mounts. It is the most important thing you can get in WvW right now. For those who have it it just normalizes builds. People used to think about traits, runes, utility skills and even weaponsets with regards to their mobility. Maps effectively become smaller and it's just another buff to face rubbing gates down. Those who don't have it, not having a mount is a nightmare. You can't go anywhere alone because people with mounts will run you down easily. Even over great distance. Can't catch anyone that decides to run away yourself, they just mount up and off they go the moment they break combat for a fraction of a second. Can't keep up with your zerg so you arrive late everywhere and as a straggler are prone to get picked off. It's a terrible addition. That they wasted all this effort to make something so few people wanted and many people hate is just a tragedy. It was bad with the desert borderland, worse with the seperate buffs, terrible with the gliding, but this is just beyond all that. Of all the ways they damaged WvW, this is the worst.
