But the naval battle thing would never happen because there are only a couple of small rivers and the one mote around the imperial city that they would have to remake the entire pvp map/area so that they could add a big lake or something for the naval battles.

Who said it should happen in cyrodil? Lots of sea all around the continent... all they need was a island area of strategic value that all three navies could covert and fight over in some expansion a few years from now... (which is the most reasonable time frame I can think of for something this far out from the current stuff... but... a maormer expansion might someday come, in the far future of ESO...)

Why do so many ppl think/reason that because x other games have a feature, ESO has to have it

Welcome to the forums @ku5h.

You start off your post with...

Dont know if this idea was mentioned before, but i think it could be very cool.

Next time consider using the search function in the top right. This has indeed been discussed before. There are many threads about this very thing. My thread Advanced Mounts Overhaul Concept (which would come up using the "Mounted Combat" search) discusses both Mount Combat and Mounted Combat.

Now on to your specific suggestions. I completely agree that we shouldn't have access to our full ability bar while mounted. In my concept I suggest that while mounted players have access to a mount ability bar that gives the players mount abilities. I could see that swapping over to a player attack skill-bar.

Perhaps we could have additional Mounted Weapon skill trees that are specifically for mounted weapon handling. If we had this, ZOS could have mount specific weapons. Heck... we could even add an additional weapon slot for mounted weapons for players to place weapons like lances and spears and longbo for when they mount up.

I really like the idea of mount equipment. I really think ZOS should allow players to craft Mount Equipment and we could even have separate motifs for mounts which would essentially DOUBLE the armor crafting in game.

I have a companion thread Tangible Mounts Advanced Concept that covers my thoughts on Mount Equipment/Armor.

I like your thoughts though. Hopefully ZOS will someday add these types of features. While we wait, keep those ideas coming!

Thx man!
I read your extensive and pretty well rounded post "Advanced Mounts Overhaul", and i really liked the idea. Different from mine, but i liked it, with some great ideas.

I see that ppl are split 50/50 on wheter should it be implemented or not. While i do belive there a thing that should be more of a priority, they(devs) could stack all the ideas on the subject for a day when the do have time for stuff like this..

Cheers!
