Remove April Fool's mounts from the random mount pool

I thought it would be the default behavior for random mount pools not to include April Fool's Day mounts, until I called one of them out myself on PTS yesterday. I can't imagine when I was facing a massive fight in Cyro and needed to move urgently and then called out an April Fool's mount. This is horrible, another case of Pay to Lose after the companion passive skill.
Please remove April Fool's Day mounts from the random mount pool, or at least give us choice to not have them appear in random mounts.

Aislinna✭✭✭✭✭Random Mounts
You can now set your active mount to "Random Favorite Mount" or "Random Mount". When "Random Favorite Mount" is selected, activating your mount in the world will pick one of your favorite mounts each time. With "Random Mount" selected instead, it will choose from all of your collected mounts instead.
Try choosing "Random Favorite Mount" instead and don't include the April Fools mounts as a favorite.10 -

i have my main house (grand topal hideaway) listed in the housing tours, it has multiple target dummies, scribing altar, and grandmaster stations (in progress being filled out), as well as almost every antiquity furnishing on display to preview them
feel free to stop by and use the facilities2 -
Soraka✭✭✭✭✭I wish they worked like regular mounts. I know it would look stupid but there's lots of stuff that looks stupid.2 -
MafiaCat115✭✭✭✭✭I didn't even consider this until now. Would be nice if you could mark mounts to exclude from the random mount list.Still waiting for answers about class set aura behavior, and also hoping that one day hair dyeing will be an option.

as another poster mentioned, thats what the "random favorite" option is for, so it only selects ones you marked as favoritesplays PC/NA

Veteran players have been alienated and disengaged from Overland since One Tamriel, due to the lack of difficulty, and pushed into dungeons and trials; the minority of content in the Elder Scrolls Online. We can't take the repetition anymore, fix Overland engagement for Vet players. I don't even care if it's not combat related anymore, just make Overland engaging again.

Overland difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 10 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including One Tamriel, an overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver & Gold as a "you think you do but you don't" - tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game. I'm bored of dungeons, I'm bored of trials; make a personal difficulty slider for overland. Make a self debuff mythic. Literally anything at this point.1 -
MafiaCat115✭✭✭✭✭Using the favorite mount system as a way to weed out the April Fools mounts kinda invalidates the purpose of it being your favorite mount list. Using it for that would then make it be that if you wanted to just shuffle between a select few, you'd have to unfavorite every single other mount that you had to favorite purely for the purpose of ousting the jester mounts.Still waiting for answers about class set aura behavior, and also hoping that one day hair dyeing will be an option.
