Not a fan at all of the collection. I'm glad the turtle is not neccersary. I suck at strikes and struggle with some of the Meta due to personal issues. Had the Skyscale and other mounts needed such things, I'd have probably left GW2 by now. I'm not saying Strikes and raids shouldn't be promoted. I just would not advise locking mounts and things behind them. It is a bad look for the game.
