I’m all for more mounts and collectibles in general. With Dragonflight I feel like the game is going back towards “simpler times” like in Wrath where it was just reps, quests, collectibles, raids, and dungeons. And I enjoyed it very much not trying to min-max my parses , not trying to keep up with CE raiders.
I am ready to go back to that more relaxed style of play with Dragonflight. I feel like the dragon riding system is more akin to when we had Artifact Weapon and being able to customize them. I know we mount and fly with them but they appear more like “transmog” in that we can only showcase one set of tmog all the time despite having a large collection (kinda the same with mounts).
I do hope those recolors of other mounts get added but I’m not sure if dragon riding customization is supposed to replace the mount numbers given per expansion. But I don’t think we always need to have the same amount of mounts given per expansion either.
