Buyers beware about the horse/guar/dragon stick mounts

I don’t know if this has been specified or not, so just a heads up about these in case it hasn’t. They are not real mounts. You equip it as a mount, but you don’t have any mount speed or anything, your just walking and sprinting normally as if your not on a mount, except with a funny looking stick between your legs, when you sprint, your character doesn’t even use it, it carries it over its shoulder and runs.
So if you buy this expecting it to function like a proper mount, you’ll be mistaken.

✭✭✭That...is incredibly disappointing.
I was hoping for there to be zergs of stick mounts in Cyrodiil.67 -
citats✭✭✭Wow I was super excited for the stick mount. That is unbelievably disappointing.
Edit: From the official March announcement:"The Novelty Stick Dragon mount is a Crown Gem exclusive". And it's not even available for crown gems now? Was this planned to be a full speed mount when it was still supposed to be a crown gem exclusive?
Edit2: There is a bug, the item does not show up for sale by crown gems if you access the gem store through the crown crates screen.Edited by citats on March 21, 2019 2:55PM9 -

✭✭✭✭✭Now I am so sad. Was looking forward to this, but not if it is a glorified emote instead of a mount.11 -

✭✭✭✭I didn't expect a stick to have the speed of a senche, wolf, horse..., honestly.

✭✭✭First they are in the 'pay to lose' category like the bucket helm and broom, so they aren't intended to be useful, and second, they say in the tooltip that they aren't fully functioning mounts.25 -

I did read it and bought it anyway seeing as it’s only 500 crowns for the LOLs. Despite that I am bitterly disappointed they didn’t make it a real mount. This post was just a heads up in case anyone rushes in and doesn’t read the text.5 -
HidesFromSun✭✭✭I wish I'd seen this before I bought it. So disappointed with the sprint animation. Wanted to use it in Cyrodiil but dont think I will now

✭So I was expecting them to go normal unmounted movement speed, but that you don't even use them while sprinting and just throw them over your shoulder is beyond disappointing. It's simply the laziest way to have made them.PC NA @Ertosi♠♦ My Team ♥♣

No new crafting or game systems for 2019? "Season of the Dragon" would be better named "The Year of no New Major Features"

https://i.imgur.com/X8qY0gP.jpg to see a detailed comparison of this year's Q1 to the last two Q1s.

LOL not trying to farm anything, I don’t give a toss about forum points. Was just trying to help out folks who might rush in and not read the text. Calm down, I’m not trying to ruin the event for you.14 -

Grinding just make you go in circles.

It's a real mount it's just doesnt bust player's speed, dat's all. It's just a funny thing, not meant to be used on daily basis. And it's priced accordingly.2 -

Yeah I get that. Still It’s a pity they didn’t make it a proper mount, would of sold like candy. Would of been brilliant.

Yeah, but levitation is a thing in TES. So it could happen!
"Stick Horse of Icarian Flight", anyone?
