Random Mount/Pet Option

Would it be possible to add an extra option under mounts/pets in the collectables UI which when selected as your active mount/pet means your character uses a random mount/pet each time one is summoned.
Players who have been around since release and buying a lot of limited mounts or just random ones they like would be able to see more of their collections without needing to manually change via their collection window every time.

For the mounts this would be every time the mounting hotkey is pressed the game would select a mount at random from your collections for you to summon and ride on. Dismounting and mounting again would change the active mount again.

For pets the choice would be made after every transition/loading screen. So when moving from zone to zone or in and out of dungeons a new pet is selected at random for your collections.

This could be expanded to allow for other collection items as well such as costumes, polymorphs, skins etc.

Basic mock up of what the UI option would look like.

    Interesting idea. I personally prefer choosing my mount according to which zone I'm in, but if I'm spending a lot of time in one zone this would be nice.

    Thanks, kind of forgot until after I made the post it would show off that I have spent a some money on this game. :sweat_smile:

    I do the same but I notice the more mundane horses rarely get selected by myself any more.

    It would be interesting to see if they were able to expand the idea with something which selected zone appropriate mounts for your character. Although I would imagine that would be a pain to code and not worth the dev time.

    That would SO COOL! But yeah I imagine it would be too much work for a small change :(
