Hello,
First of all anyone who says mounts are equalised, should be equalised or would be equalised
.
Now calm down and look at it from this perspective.
We have ingame lore/racial mounts which are pretty slow overall but all have realistic speeds and interesting skills for people to use them in different occasions.
We have donation mounts which basically ammount to Mirage Elk Brown Raindeer, seeing more and more of these, and they are definitelly choice no.1 on the west side ,since on events nearly half the people are using them for speed.
This can only be fixed by making all of the mirage mounts at 11.5ms ,or by making Brown elk cost much more in terms of credits.
Than we have very expensive and time consuming to get mounts like black arrow or thunder dash ,which are completely unrealistic to have those speeds.
Compare it to farmhouse and a mansion , will you simply make both of those 50 gilda?
Sure there shouldnt be much of a difference ,so that the people would not choose one mount over all, but
as the current condition is
Ingame mounts are and should be 9ms
Mirage mounts 10-11ms
Thunderdash should be around 11-12ms
With black arrow minimum of 12ms
Everyone will not choose Thunderdash and Black Arrow over other mounts, simply becouse the amount of time put into obtaining them is 1-2 weeks ingame, with mirage mounts close behind with only a simple click for donations.
Keeping advanced mounts 0.5-1ms above Mirage mounts is fair bothways, and by not giving them too much speed you still have sales on the Mirage mounts, and players ready to invest their time and resources for 1 more ms, will do so anyhow, becouse of the way those mounts look.
Mounts are bought only once for speed, but its the looks that decide.
