You had to buy the expansion to access any mounts. Which is what’s being discussed. I believe in the next expansion they gave players who owned the game a raptor mount trial. Otherwise I still think you need to buy path of fire to get any mounts at all.
For GW2 that is very P2W, but then I regard anything which speeds up your PvE that can only be bought in the cash shop as P2W.
Quite surprising isn't it ? In WoW for instance, if you don't buy the expansions, you are stuck at the level cap, you get none of the new areas, dungeons, mounts, etc... and you have to pay $15 a month (aka $180 a year) just to be able to log in the game. How DARE NW work like all other MMORPGs and be WITHOUT subscription ?
Name one buy to play game outside of New World that has ALL mounts locked behind a DLC paywall. Just like their joke of a transmog system, no it does not work "like all other mmorpgs".
Actually, from what I know, horses in NW will not be behind a paywall. And about transmog... I was able to make two complete sets without paying. Still, I prefer to have to pay for COSMETIC stuff than the pay to win model of BDO... a game I loved, but that I won't play anymore because of that.
Yes, the 3 mounts available at launch of next expansion will be free after the quests associated with them are finished. Again, i don't have a problem really if they charge for mounts. Just checked on steam, and i have 1900+ hours played, so obviously i like the game. However, when they announced loadouts, i was pretty happy about that. Then the patch notes dropped, explaining you only get a pinch, if you want the full meal then get out your wallet. wtf A serious player will have different sets for gathering, refining, and crafting for each perspective skill. Then different armor/weapon sets for light/med/heavy armor with dex/int/str/focus etc etc etc. This horrible system was designed by ags, the fix has always been loadouts to help easily remedy the tedious task of keeping everything organized......but, get our your wallet folks. lol, pathetic.

You can't argue there is an issue if you can get the mounts from a quest, NW has done it how it should be done. The use of buying "locker space" is an old P2W tactic, but at least from what you have said the game is moving in the right direction, even if only for a "pinch" of space.

Not different from other games... but without the subscription. NW along with ESO has one of the less greedy cash shop system.
