Warclaws were added to the game with a single purpose in mind

[Aodlop.1907]

To flood the pool of mount skins with ones most players aren't interested in, so they have to buy more gems to get the skins they do want.

 

This mount's so similar to the jackal it might as well just have been a jackal. Make the jackal usable in WvW, disable its blink, give it the Warclaw's ability in this game mode.

If anything, that would helped to give the Jackal some form of relevance.

Really? I thought it was added to give WvW players a mount that makes travelling a bit faster, but your take on this is MIND-BLOWING. 

The comparison with the Jackal is also curious considering each one have unique animations.

So turn the Jackal into a Warclaw and remove the actual Warclaw? 
Why not just leave things as is? We have the result, no need to invent a new method of reaching it.

Which could have been achieved by giving that role to the already underused Jackal, which looks pretty much the same anyway.

Jackal isn't underused. Warclaw is k as a wvw specific mount. It's almost as if you're just trying to force yourself to make a new thread every 2 days 🤨

You guys need to stop using that wide eyes emoji on my posts because they make it seem as though what I'm saying makes no sense when it's, in fact, perfectly logical.

Maybe for you, I personally prefer a different mount.

So your argument is perfectly logical and by effect, the idea of having a exclusive mount for WvW that would have its own animations, sounds and skins, is completely illogical, right?

kitten I love reading these people so full on their own "facts and logic".

Edit yay, found the source of this perfectly logical opinion.

"I don't like skins for mounts I don't use or like in a mode I don't play" . There fixed it for you.  

I love my warclaw.  It should be unique, it is lovely as it is, and I adore my saberclaw skin.  The jackal is more than relevant, ride what you like.   This is a fun and frivolous troll of a post.  Dear diary, I woke up angry that warclaws don't blink when I hit spacebar....

90%+ of the time, it's abused as a dislike button, not because people are confused.

That aside, I definitely think Warclaw is a decent addition and should not be removed. The mount-related issue that should be removed is the RNG behind acquiring mount skins. Just let players choose and buy the skins they want.

Your Saberclaw skin could be a Jackal skin is what I'm saying. There was never a need for two mounts when they're so similar and one could have achieved the purpose of the other.

But why.  They are separate mounts for different purposes.  The warclaw pulls down walls.  The jackal is mobile and blinks.  It was an incentive to get people to play WvW, since running on foot gets boring.  They really aren't similar.

You're correct! Let's remove the Jackal and make the Raptor look and act like the Jackal! They are so similiar, both run and jump. We should also remove the Skyscale and just make the Griffon look like one and do what a Skyscale can! There is no need for two mounts when they are so similiar.

[Telgum.6071]

I wonder why Arenanet made the Skyscale when we already had a Griffon, they both walk in four legs and got wings!!

... while making up like 5% of the total mount skin count.

Completely flooded.

[Ashen.2907]

Different aesthetics (cats vs dogs is a huge distinction), different abilities, different animations. Personally Jackal is my current standard land mount for PvE.

Hmm. No. I don't think that's why.

[Ashen.2907]

If the OP had said, "to diminish or destroy the roaming scene in WvW," I might have been inclined to agree, or at least to agree that such was a forseeable side effect.

sure it is. Besides the portals it has 0 actual use, sure in theory it's faster than the raptor uphill, but no one actually swaps to the jackal for that

Sometimes people are correct. Other times, such as now, they are not. That is fine and you have nothing to be ashamed of.

Jackal is the second-most used mount for me after skyscale.  I almost never use the raptor.

Same, but we're in the minority. Usually, when there's a discussion about a mount, folks bring up the Jackal.

Thanks for proving yourself wrong in the same post sentence.

That's also just wrong. Not everyone swaps? Sure. But that's different than what you've just said in order to pretend it's somehow underused (or has no reason to be used).
