Mounts are good for the economy so I don't think removing mounts will work. Would be interesting though.

All things sold from player to player are good for the economy but i wouldn't put mounts very high on the list. With mounts you are essentially transferring wealth from one rich person to another.

the reason why removing mounts would be unpopular is because people are used to traveling at certain speeds and people like having colored mounts.

someone said it would kill the taming skill. There are fixes around this. For instance you could still have wild mustangs of different colors and players able to tame them. The difference is you could only sell them to NPC's.
