I think we should have mounts in guild wars because they would be fun and beneficial.. The new expansion should come with a Mount Riding Mastery. i think a lot of people would enjoy this feature as well as a great way for Arena net to make more money by selling mounts.
I dont remember the name of the thread, there’s also a reddit link, apparently someone found some info on the expansion. One thing was a mastery trait line that allows you to mount raptors either solo or with friends. Make of that what you want.

That’s a rumor thread.
This is how rumors suddenly become fact.
Edit: I see the thread here is gone. If one is interested in the rumors, I would imagine the thread(s) are still up on Reddit.
I can post it, but before I do I want to check: would it be against forum conduct to do so? I don’t want to be infringed or anything like that for “spreading rumors.”
This again?
Ok. Summary:
1- Some people like mounts. Some people don’t. Arguments come and go always the same.
2- Mounts could be a great cosmetic addition to the gemstore, say someone. They will contibute to the visual clutter that already drowns the game, answer someone.
3- Mounts couldn’t have speed boosts because that would destroy the balance in the exploration part of the game, explains someone. People who plays only combat oriented despises this reasoning and use recursive arguments to say mounts with boost being non-combat only should be ok.
4-Mounts could look so cool, says one. They will stress up the servers, accuses another. Technical discussion about processing resources, graphic properties and toggles ensues. Not conclusive.
5- Someone mention cosmetic mounts already exist, in the form of travel toys like the flying carpet. Mount fans don’t like that solution and recognize they want speed boosts anyway.
6- People began to post lush examples from other games. WOW fans shine. WOW fans are encouraged to go back to play that.
7- Someone says Anet already said they never allow mounts. Someone says Anet never said that. No sources are given on any of these claims.
8- Back to 1 a few times.
9- Topic get merged with the big one.
10- Lots of dead horse beating gifs and images.

This should be force-stickied to the first post of every future mount post from here on out.

Rather complete summary, but it misses the “zomg mounted combat would be so cool” that eventually shows up.
Many alts; handle it!

It is against forum conduct and i includes discussing datamined content (something I’ve been caught out for forgetting myself).

Dang…well, thanks for letting me know. I guess these silly gooses will just have to find it themselves.
Not sure what possible use anyone would get out of mounts when there are waypoints everywhere. Also mounted combat, while an awesome idea would never happen sadly
Mounts are a wonderful idea! Forum Mods need to sticky this so Devs can see how much love we have for riding animals. Heck, I would love if we could mount other players. That way one player controls the direction, and the other player controls the combat.
As far as I know, the Devs haven’t stated anything about reversing this stance.
That’s sad to hear.
Does riding other players still count as a “mount”? I really like the idea of teamwork fighting, with different players controlling different aspects of a fight. Plus you could add racial bonuses. Mounting a charr would give you a speed bonus, and mounting a norn’s shoulders would give you reach and power bonus. Something like that.
As far as I know, the Devs haven’t stated anything about reversing this stance.
“there will be no other methods of long distance travel such as mounts, ships, etc in Guild Wars 2 upon initial release.”
By specifying, “upon initial release,” they have not established a stance for anything but how the game will launch and so have no stance to reverse regarding the possibility of adding mounts post launch.
Yes , i love mounts . Imagine if you could ride an elephant to the WvW battle . The enemy should respect you a bit . J/K
I think mounts is a good ideal , no speed increase , disappear when player attack mobs or someones ( WvW ) . I would pay 1000 gem for a Lion to ride it on the WvW battle field .
Please no. It would break the game.
Gliders are fun enough.. This would be just ugh.
It’s not enough , people alway want something new and a lot of people like mount and how can it break our game ? Does it increase base stat , movement speed or give you a buff ?
Seriously i thing mount is just like a ranger pet , a big minion , a special costume you buy in gem store , nothing more .
As I stated, interesting take on Gliders. Of course, one does not sit on a Glider; rather the Glider sits on us. Maybe we are the mounts! =P
Perhaps, then, you will convince all those asking for mounts that they already have what they asked for (as long as they have upgraded to HoT, of course).
Want speed? Swifty. Every profession has a 25% passive except guardian, who is easy to keep up perma swifty on.
Want to jump somewhere? Waypoints, or teleport to friend. Hell, you can even run through cities without touching a foe to get from one end of the world to the other.
Personally I’m over the mount suggestions. It’s been 4 years and we have the cosmetic mounts. If mounts as a “speedy” alternative were to be added, they would have been added a while back. Maybe in the next expac we’ll see some, who knows.
This topic has been done to death. Move on.

Well, this hasn’t been merged with the main mount thread, which they usually are and quite quickly when they appear. So I would hazard a guess that Anet is thinking about caving in and implementing mounts.

Or maybe the merged thread got too full. That horsebox must be so heavy with all the dead horses’ shoes in there!
