Well I would have done some of the mounts differently and added more to them then just stumbling in. The new ones I added at least take a little time which gives others a chance to find it first or hunt you down while getting it. Though I don't like changing other staffs work, minus the fire stang because that was just out of place and we agreed it should be changed.
As for me saying that taming would be "half disabled", what I meant was that if we were to put a restriction on it then someone who only enjoys taming would lose out on the general gameplay, and yes some people only enjoy taming.
Don't get me wrong I know it sucks when people hoard mounts like they do and at best we can make them have to spend more time finding/getting them but those people typically deserve the mounts. Ask sam and theo, they spent countless time searching for mounts everytime they heard of one they didn't know about. Meanwhile someone hears about where a stang spawns and get a rune... do they really deserve the same chance at getting it as the person who spent the time getting to know the spawn? Lets also keep in mind that most mounts spawn at random times from anywhere between a few hours and a week. If someone wants to check it constantly and not accomplish much else then at least those people will likely get mounts for their time and effort.
I suppose I could make some of the mounts have more of a dangerous and time consuming element to them, well the ones that are wild but then someone else will whine about how players who don't hunt can't get them. On one hand we got players who want the mounts to be hard to get so that if they sink in the time, they will be the ones to get them and on the other hand there are players who want mounts practically handed to them... I thought how it was made it pretty balanced but nothing is set in stone really. I am willing to make changes if its what everyone wants but I would really prefer not to limit someones taming in any way. Maybe you should make a poll with some possible options and see which way people lean, that way we will both get a general idea of everyones opinion on this and not just the opinion of the people you know :p Granted you talk with most of the players but not everyone plus we have lurkers that will probably make a return sooner or later and their opinion counts too.
