Hello everyone! I hope you are all well. I am here to present an idea, that some people may not like, but nonetheless I will post it anyway due to the potential utility of the implemented idea.
I propose the idea of bringing reworked mounted combat back. NO, i'm not talking about terribly-designed encounters such as the TotC 5-man dungeon or Flame Leviathan in Ulduar. I think in some instances, vehicular combat can be a pretty important part of raid encounters. A good example of this is the constructs in Amber Shaper; a simple mechanic open to a lot of ideas, but can easily be messed up by an experienced player.
Perhaps even riding mounts would be an idea in one encounter (i'm not suggesting ALL of them, that would be ridiculous) where they get tailored abilites based on the actual mount; for example, some can breathe fire, some can melee swing, and so on so forth. This -COULD- lead to the situation where players are endlessly farming mounts. To counter this, however, the mounts could be tailored for different roles such as tank, healer and DPS so they all have an integral role in the encounter.
It's certainly a long shot and is open to a lot of suggestion. Please let me know what you think of my idea and how I could improve it.
