I would rather the system FFXI had with chocobos that were on a duration. Mounts tend to just simplify the world and that's something FFXI had going for it over WoW. I can remember a few things of WoW where I was like "Whoa look at that" Or "That's pretty cool!"...but in FFXI I was jawdropped zoning into Xarcabard for the first time and wandering around in the desolate snow. Or finding strange caves in Altepa I would have not even noticed wizzing by on a mount. Mounts at max level? Maybe, after people have explored, but then with each expansion afterwards it would make mounts ruin much of the exploration.
