I hope that mounts in Vanguard, if trained well, will give the EXACT same benefits to our characters as they would have in the real world.

Because of that, I would like to see our characters get fatigued if they travel on foot for too long.
Also, enough of this: "my character carries 5 large backpacks with all sorts of crap I picked up on his back while I run from town to town." Without a horse, characters should not have that much pack-space.
Also, in combat, warhorses were invaluable to cavalry. Not because they went around kicking and biting their enemy, but because they gave initiative and leverage.

A Knight on a horse can charge into combat and always get the first hit. His horse can keep away his enemies with hooves and mock-charges. A lance in the hands of a cavalryman was incredibly dangerous. A horse can charge straight through a wall of defenders on foot without pause.
A skilled horseman could use his horse as an extension of his own feet and move around the field at a much quicker rate, while not impeding his skill with his weapon. (or her, no offense ladies)

If they do this, or even if they simply get us from place to place like a normal mount, than they are worth more than people give them credit for. But I implore Sigil not to make these mounts incredibly expensive. A horse that costs as much as a house is stupid. WoW set the price for lvl 60 mounts at 1k gold, which is absolutely ridiculous. Please don't fall into the same mockery of pricing that encourages gold-farming.

That's about all for now.
