NPCs, Customization, Mounts
I really want mounts. This game doesn’t really feel like it needs them, but I really miss collecting them. Collecting mounts is usually my ‘endgame’ so I’m a bit bored now since this game has none. =/
This game does need alot more customization! There is a disturbing lack of options in the gem store to buy. When I heard gw2 was going the f2p cash shop option, I figured the shop would be packed with new things to buy every week, inlcuding gowns, faces, hair colors and styles. I’m very disappointed with it.

You should check out this thread: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Why-I-think-you-re-losing-active-players/page/3#post1826061 and then my topic. I think you are one of those players I am referring to.
There is no doubt in my mind that they will not introduce mounts, as a matter effect they already did when they introduced the broom. First is was some rare Halloween drop if I remember correctly and later they permanently put it in the gem-store. I think to see what people reactions would be.
What I read about it is that ArenaNet had planned on implementing mounts but that there old GW fan-base did not like that because it would be to much WoW-like (as if only WoW has mounts). So they did not introduce them. But at this moment old GW1 players is just a part of the players so mount will come in the future.
I do hope that they will not only introduce them as gem-items because like you said. Collecting them is part of the fun and end-contend. Buying them from a gemstore is not a lot of fun. They can put some on there but most should be put in the game as a rare drop from a mob, from doing a quest, maybe even make with a craft, earning by doing achievements and so on.

If the whole point of not having Mounts is just coz “I dont want this to be a wow clone” then its a dumb and stupid rebuttal.
How is this a WOW clone if it has mounts?
So according to them Assassin’s Creed is a wow clone because you can ride on horses?
First of all running speed is slow, in world exploration you’re bound to use your profs +25% speed boost just to curb the dullness of walking and before a tough fight you switch that useless utility to something you actually need.
In dungeon fights you dont even use it.
The whole point of having an Out of Combat Speed boost with a visual aesthetic is so people can respond to events promptly by pass trash mobs and/or just enjoy the sights of the world while feeling grand on something you’ve earned.
Whens the last time you saw the gates of divinity’s reach?
Or the entrances of the other racial starting zones?
Mounts are another way of getting people to collect something that visually appeals to them without being gear treadmill.
Im a player of the first guildwars and I approve mounts.

Ah, the daily mount thread.
Instead of making a new one how about posting in one of the other million mount threads that all resulted in a resounding “no”.
About the mounts, it wasn’t my main target of this thread actually, it was the limited variaty of the NPC models which quite annoy me.
I mean, you come across alot of the same looking npc models, even named characters have the same model as ’’regular’’ models, for example a named, and thus more important, sergeant has the same model as a normal sergeant.
I will post some pictures soon, that will make things alot clearer I quess, a shame I don’t have them on my pc atm!

I did read a lot of them but none of them had a resounding “no”.
You can in every threat about it find people who don’t want it but most people seem to want it.
Problem is, diceshaker, the mount part of the suggestion completely upstages your other points due to how contentious it is, thus people will jump straight to it ignoring everything else.
Thus, as it is suggesting mounts, it is the daily mount thread.
More customisation? Yes!
Mounts? Not needed and just would add clutter.
