Most DEs will read the title and think I am crazy but chew on a few of these "Devil's Advocate" points:

1) Our DE Dev has been hijacked to work on Creature Mounts. We will get him back!(He has to work on us sooner or later)

2) How many other DEs have had to waste their precious skill points on the Explorer Tree of Scout so they could get back and forth to their harvesters? I am excited because I will be able to drop these skills and pick up Merchant and Combat Skills now that I can ride a Dewback to my harvester. It isnt a swoop bike (which I would have rather seen come out first) but it has to be better than running on foot.

3) More people will be willing to take a quick ride out to our vendors. Even if your vendor is close to town, it will be easier to get people to come to you instead of having to go to town etc.

Flame on!

Cameo - Master DE

I agree, the time saved between harveters will be dramatic and we might even get some dev support.

I agree, they will be most useful.

But consider this...right now, they said there's only six creatures that are mountable....later on they'll add more. So why then does the normal person get to use any CL15 or under CH pet? They said it was to let anyone use mounts, but then why not just let the person use any mountable pet, instead of what we have now?

Creature mounts will be very bugged, so it'll be a month to fix them. Same with player cities.

I'd prefer a vehicle. I don't want to be Fred Flinstone and rely on a dinosaur to get around.

Agros already spawn on top of you when you run at normal speed. Can you imagine how they are going to spawn on you when you go faster? I know it is worse when you burst run, pretty sure it will be bad on a mount.

Hijacked to work on Creature Mounts? nono... we never had one to begin with- they only borrow one of the many CH devs when we complain too much and then give us a broken tool to calm us down and make us think we had a dev to begin with (that is why we never hear anything from our developer)

my idea...

Droid Mounts, sitting on a R series or maybe having a binary load lifter carry you...

It could work!
