I know this will likely not happen but, I wish there was a "mount" grind

Crown Store will likely limit this, especially the crates, but like i other MMO's, certain end game bosses in dungeons, world bosses and super rare enemies could drop a really neat and rare mount.

WoW did this a lot, as did Rift. FFXIV, too.

Would be nice and add more of a carrot to dungeons/trials, maybe.

Took the title the wrong way.

On topic: I like the idea but it seems that skins are how ZoS chose to have us show off the achievement.

There is. It's 180 days long.

Expect something like RUNEBOX: FLAWLESS GOLDEN FLYING MOUNT tagged 25M gold in guild store down Rawl'kha.

For Zenimax Media, the most important part of the game is the crown store, so something like that will not happen anywhere near to the games you mentioned.
you have to look at it in another way.
radiant apex mounts are very, very rare, and they would love if you grind real world money to buy hundreds of hundreds of crates to maybe get one.
that is the one way you can grind for your mounts.

All for it as an option for those who oppose crates.

We have quests and achievements to get skins and pets, so they could absolutely throw one in that rewards you with a mount.

Depends on how the RNG is. Destiny did this with raids, where there was a chance to get a ship drop at the end of it. It was cool, but the RNG on it was so bad that people did the raids literally hundreds of times and never got the drop.

Already happens with the vAS polymorph.

Would love to have something like that.

For example a special mount for getting grand overlord or so

Maybe vet Cloudrest will give you a gryphon mount that cannot fly

Older MMO's used to have cosmetics and collectibles as rewards and grind-ables. These were the "good old days". It kept the game fun/fresh/relevant and the worlds full of people forever. It helped the experience feel rewarding and personal. Then the mobile market and micro-transactions happened (insert doom music here) so we will likely never see a game do that well ever again in all honesty. There is far too much money to be made through nickel and dime-ing people to death now days...or in ZOS' case, 50's and hundreds-ing people to death.

I do agree with you though and I rreeaalllyyy miss the older days of MMO's. I will absolutely get pooped on for this post though because people have been assimilated to a different gaming culture and will defend it with their little virtual lives unfortunately (often without having ever experienced the older culture too lol).

This will only happen if the market shifts...and that is not happening anytime soon.

That is one thing i liked about WoW. The ability to collect different mounts by doing different things. We would even do little groups for it. Of course mounts are just for show in this game and i could ride a mud crab as fast as i could ride a horse or senche and that takes a lot of thrill out of having different mounts for me.

Yeah, I mean I'm glad ESO isn't P2W, but.. wish more could be gotten through just playing the game.

That´d be awesome. But, knowing ZOS, it´s really unrealistic.
