I wish we had mounts. We can mount the magic stick and carpet... but most folks probably don't consider those as mounts. I wish we had mounts but I don't see them being implemented this year. If they don't get added by next year then chances are it'll never happen. Has there ever been an MMO that waited 3-4 years before introducing mounts?
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
now: GW2 (11 80s).
Dark Souls 2.
future: Mount&Blade 2 BannerLord.
"Bro, do your even fractal?"
Recommends: Guild Wars 2, Dark Souls, Mount&Blade: Warband, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.
Do I want a mount in GW2: YES!
Even with fast travel, there is a crap ton of running in GW2!
there's a cosmetic mount thats been around since Halloween 2012

Faster travel is required in wvw. There are very few wp's and these are usually contested anyway!
And given that you can be killed at anytime via a zerg that appears out of nowhere, it is either spend most of your game time being bored running sometimes a whole map height back to the action or implement faster mounts.
anet stated it at start there wont be any mounts
dunno why ppl still ask for them
and mounts in wvw? this will be totaly unbalanced then and p2w
rpg/mmorg history: Dun Darach>Bloodwych>Bards Tale 1-3>Eye of the beholder > Might and Magic 2,3,5 > FFVII> Baldur's Gate 1, 2 > Planescape Torment >Morrowind > WOW > oblivion > LOTR > Guild Wars (1900hrs elementalist) Vanguard. > GW2(1000 elementalist), Wildstar
Now playing GW2, AOW 3, ESO, LOTR, Elite D
WvW travel is already too fast, especially for big zerg groups.
Currently playing: GW2
Going cardboard starter kit: Ticket to ride, Pandemic, Carcassonne, Dominion, 7 Wonders

No to mounts, I played a few games with mounts and they cripple your walking speed to make the mount seem fast.
Just got a mount in Rift and it doesn't even put me up to the normal running speed of gw2 without swiftness -_- Just feels like a scam.
<Welcome to my world>
I don't really understand why people are so obsessed with having mounts in Guild Wars 2. It's already been said that there are waypoints and the swiftness buff that make mounts unnecessary.
So unless they add mounted combat in the game (and they won't), I see mounts as a waste of resources that could be better spent elsewhere - like new weapons and skills for every profession and the ability to arrange said skills however I see fit on my skill bar.
I only want content that works.
My only game where I use mounts is swtor and whenever I have to hop over a rock or anything I feel that the animations and reactions of my speeder are completely idiotic.
It's like crippling a Jedi and forcing him to ride a wheelchair.
The worlds in swtor are totally flat in comparison to gw2 so there is no way they could pull this off without ruining the feeling of exploring.
Reaching a vista on top of a hard to reach spot with a mount? No, thank you.
Some console games did it right, like Shadow of the Colossus, Red Dead Redemption etc. And TERA, Wildstar and Archeage also have nice mounts/animation. It's totally possible to do better than SWTOR.
Do these games have jumping puzzles and paths where you have to walk on tiny ledges?
I played Tera and ArcheAge and both have flat worlds with only few mountains and hills - but long long roads made for mounts.
Those worlds were made for mounts and the GW2 world simply wasn't. The mounts you listed would fail badly on GW2.
