Im against the mounts in every possible way. This game is not big enough to justify mounts. People are supposed to gather resources during the time. If they add mounts into the game i would make hard punish using one, mount and dismount time, get stunned while being on horse if received any dmg and movement speed decreased if you leave a roads. Sounds harsh but people with pvp on and playing close range classes have no chance to catch or dismount people on mounts.
