I've been using Sleipnir IC since the day it came out. I present it as a normal warhorse, and nobody has ever had a problem with that.

I'm more of a Chocobo guy, personally. Merri almost exclusively rides his bird, as they've been together for years. Since Merri was in the boat of being a 1.0 character that I did not want to be forced to artificially age five years, he wound up being one of the many adventurers time-skipped at the Battle of Carteneau. I found myself more or less adopting a variation the legacy Chocobo lore because of that, so he and his buddy are near inseparable after his return~
That being said, I'm of the mind that so long as people enjoy what they're doing and are fine with dealing with the potential IC consequences of certain characters witnessing them riding whatever they're riding, I don't mind what people choose as their mounts. Whatever people enjoy! Some things just have inherent consequences, of course. For example, Merri being a Magitek Engineer for the better part of his life, owns a suit of Magitek Armor he constructed alongside his best friend, who is also an engineer. However, given the nature of armor, Merri doesn't just ride it around everywhere. Both the cost of upkeep, fuel, and the stigma attached to it are prohibitive enough as is. On top of it all, I like to take into consideration travel. Merri isn't dumb enough to ride an armor into the shroud, as he'd just wind up trampling precious plantlife and making a mess of things -- and we all know that'd simply incur greenwrath. He also doesn't ride it on Vylbrand, because transporting it over to the island would be silly. Only place he's ever ridden it has been around Thanalan, and only for his own amusement. Like taking an expensive car out for an afternoon drive. Only ever leaves it in his workshop, and nowhere else~ |

I don't have a mount yet ;.;, but honestly, in every MMORPG, if there is said creature in the world... I don't mind one bit. I know on Guild Wars 2, there aren't horses, so I don't have my character ride a horse.Â
If these are made up creatures, well, they're still in the world! So it's cool with me. I love 'em all, creature, machine, etc.! ♥ ~ Angie • 26 • in ♥ with my gorgeous best friend, wife and soulmate Jen • 2 kitties, 2 birds, 2 ratties and 1 snake are our babies • gamer • role-player • huge geek ~ ♥ |

Likely he just doesn't do it unless provoked, whereas most of the others will actively do that.
