See red textProblems we're running into:
1. Not separated from auto travel button like we were promised. Link the promise.
2. Cannot be used indoors due to being grouped into auto travel. How many mounts can you use indoors?
3. Doesn't count towards mounts collected. The one legitimate problem
4. Was wrong and corrected by OP
5. Other classes got colorations for spec, we got ours for race-- again. This is entirely subjective.
6. No landing or ground animations. You really had to dig deep for this one, but I'll give it to you. Although I'm not sure any of the class mounts have such a thing.
Its simple devs got lazy when they ran into problems. Ah, the timeless "blame the devs when I don't like something" conclusion. Never mind that you're not the sole audience for the game.
