oh fuck me. didnt even check to see who the OP was. god damnit.
Sure.
Mounts have killed world PvP and ruined immersion.
Why isn't this feasible at the very least for an expansion. A lot of us spent a lot of time collecting flying mounts... a lot of us don't particularly care about ground mounts. But that has not stopped them from taking those away from us on Draenor. Stuck with neutered ground versions instead. (dead horse... beaten to a pulp, i know... ) You have to assume though their willingness to remove something as ever-present as flying mounts is a precursor to them taking away other things situationally, maybe in a zone or for entire expansions.
We think we climb so high, Upon the backs we've condemned ...We face our Conϛequence.
Since they want to eliminate flying in Draenor specific zones... might as well.
I for myself would totally freeze my subscription, if they get rid of the mounts completely.
But it will not happen in the near future (ever?!) so, screw it! I am rather fine with no flyings in WoD.
And I really hate the "fast-travel" system in GW2. No love for the beautiful environment.
You know damn right that it isn't a possible solution. Removing flying =/= removing mounts at all, and you know it. Or should, any common player should. If it is claimed that mounts would harm immersion, then instant teleport would kill it. Mounts are common in a big game.
Please rethink how you post topics, for this question doesn't really serve for a healthy discussion (You know, the opposite of what you want)

I hate GW2 because there's no mount.
Teleporting everywhere break the immersion!
Don't need to get rid of mounts completely, but with a fast travel network like GW 2 has, you no longer need the boost that mounts give. My proposal would be to keep mounts but only give them a small move speed boost, about what the first level of Riding has. Then, when you need to move long distances, you travel to a waypoint wherever and boom, one loading screen later, there you are. No waiting, no need to AFK flying or riding a boat or some other nonsense. Just done. A nice gold sink for the game and the proper convenience of a fast travel network which is actually FAST. Mount collectors can still show off their mounts and you dispense with pretending AFK'ing on a flight point is somehow immersive.
I know Jaylock meant this as a troll, but I'm quite serious. This would be a vast improvement for the game. Which is why it'll never get implemented; it makes too much sense.
Wrong, its not meant as a troll, its a serious discussion point. They should add instant teleport nodes throughout the world anyway, even if they dont remove mounts. I do like your idea.
But the point still stands, why have mounts at all if they implement a fast travel system? You dont NEED mounts, you just want them.

I would quit so fast that I would be gone before the mounts. No, it would be terrible because of the amount of time put into farming most mounts, hell, some people push for Heroic Garrosh just to get the ground mount, why the heck would they take it out then? Also Blizzard would lose the major source of money from the cash shop, so nope.
