It would be appreciated if mount combat and/or passenger riding a mount could be added to ESO :D

Think of the possibilities! In PVE it would be fun, and it could work like Skyrim. It would be Epic!
Maybe there could also be a sharing mount system. The owner of the mount rides it, swings his/her sword or weapon. And the passenger can sit behind the rider and use their bow and arrows or staff to take out long range targets! "I'll drive, you shoot" . It would also be enjoyable to give other players a ride on your mount, or to ride on another player's. This is Elder Scrolls Online after all: teamplay and teamwork is the key aspect. Riding another player's mount, or giving a passenger a ride would greatly help the online part of Elder Scrolls Online!
The best aspect of mount combat would be PVP. Imagine how much more tactical thinking will be needed when leading zergs. You could tell several people to remain on cavalry, while others are infantry. It will make tactical decisions far deeper in PVP. For balancing, mount riders would be limited to basic attacks and not have access to their skills, thus giving a reason to dismount. Or maybe there's other ways to balance it, I'm sure that there would be many ways to balance mounts in PVP. Considering that PVP is a competitive game based around players having uneven stats and equipment (armor, champion points, animation cancelling, the playing field isn't even to begin with), mounts would be the least of PVP balancing problems. I'd like to see PVP have cavalry as a gameplay option, and for those who like to lead zergs like me, you could organize the players into unique cavalry x infantry formations!
The possibilities would be endless! I hope that one day this feature could be added into ESO.

✭✭✭✭I quite liked playing Mount & Blade, but I'd honestly rather they sort out performance in Cyro way before adding stuff like mounted combat - sure it would be cool, but it's not really necessary.GM - Ghost Sea Trading Co - NA PC

✭✭✭✭Read my signature. I've had enough of this. I was using Epona as a username on the internet before Ocarina of Time was even a twinkle in its creator's eye. It's my IRL nickname too, I'm sick of it being mistaken for a Zelda reference. FFS Zeni please let me hide my user name in game, because I keep getting this sort of *** in game now too.
And NO I do not want to change my user name, it is my IRL nickname and has been so for about the last 40 years. Zelda has stolen my name and ruined my online life.Edited by Epona222 on June 17, 2016 7:52AMGM - Ghost Sea Trading Co - NA PC

IRL I'm waiting on Jousting to be brought to the Olympics. Enough of the posh dancing horse rubbish. Imagine jousting. I mean. 100m men's final would have nothing on it!
VERY surprised the lack of Unicorn mounts or Pegasae also.
Flying mounted combat.
Argonian gilled horses

On Topic - I would love for the 2 people on horse option. That way I can catch a ride the 5 billion times I can't mount my own horse in Cyro.

Apparently "working as intended". So damn frustrating at times.

Orety6✭It was proposed many times before, but I also would like it. Just look how it's done in Age of Conan - you can just cast and swing weapon on horsebach, and it doesnt have any impact on balance.Dark Savant1 -

I wish we could mount while in combat, but it's there so we can't just run away0
