Guild Wars 2

cesmode.4257:

I am not in favor of movement speed increasing mounts in the game. Adding these mounts decrease the size of the world(not literally) and that is something I do not want.

If you feel this way, you don’t have to use a mount. Mounts existing in a game in no way require you to ride them if you don’t want to decrease the size of the world. Your logic, however, doesn’t hold up when it’s applied to preventing others from using mounts they’d like to use.

Also, your point isn’t very well grounded it seems. If you’ve played WoW, I’d hope you’d know just how well flying mounts influenced exploration, and how beautiful Outlands and other zones were. Mounts not only help with exploration, but also with immersion.

But again, mainly the point is, your opinion about what mounts do to the game just isn’t fair to cite as a reason that mounts shouldn’t be in the game at all. Moving faster means completing things faster, and doing things efficiently and completing everything is what a huge group of this game’s players is all about. Moving faster also means exploring more of the world faster.
