The ones that explode out of the ground always startle me. lol

I'm going with option 4, I like some of them and don't like others.

I was looking at the new ones today and was disappointed that they are yet again in the neon bomb disco style. I, reluctantly, accept there is a market for those, but why not try a bit diversity. I know I'm not the only one who likes a highly detailed yet more grounded/realistic design.

option 4 for me would be "no strong opinion" lol

i dont like most of the mounts, but for the reasons they are animal themed

would prefer more dwemer themed stuff, and im thinking stuff other than just the dwarven spiders, i mean i would rather take a dwarven minecart as a "mount" instead of an animal

I like flashy, dramatic, and colorful things. 🤷‍♀️

I'm barely playing ESO right now because the heavy increase in big flashes of light, overly saturated fx effects, and sudden loud noises everywhere makes it painful for me. Headaches, eye pain etc.

I dread when I'm near other players someone is going to jump up on one of the very flashy radiant mounts, like the new quasigriff, in front of me and cause a flair of pain. Or use one of the very bright recall customisations.

I don't like a lot of VFX, it's a preference thing mostly. Simple is better in my opinion.... but some of the visuals of radiant apex mounts do actually cause me pain and discomfort. I have light sensitive eyes and am prone to migraines, and lately I find that a lot of movement or flashiness on the screen has been making me unable to focus my vision/kind of lightheaded as well (screen shaking, etc).... so some of the flashy apex mounts do bother me, physically/health wise, when they are around.
These new ones are especially bad. When I previewed that radiant quasigriff.... well, I had regrets. That summon VFX is so obnoxious and, again, hurts.... then the lightning/fire/etc that are on it is also just too much for me to look at. The horse thing is pretty terrible as well, way too bright and I could not stand looking at it for very long. The senche isn't as bad because of the colors/tone, but when my friend was on it I did catch myself trying to not look at it as much as possible.... so I think it was bothering me more than I initially thought it did when I previewed it and she first showed it to me.
Also find it kind of funny that OP said mounts are too "WoW style" because no mounts in WoW have flashy VFX to this extent, haha. The ones that do have VFX attached to their summoning or just in general aren't even near being as over the top as ESO mounts. This is definitely an "ESO style" thing and problem.

My assumption at first is a whale showing off what he can purchase, but then i remembered about the endeavours. To me they are ugly but thats just me.

There's one that has a meteor crash down, now imagine you're both mounted riding off somewhere and you're just far enough behind them to put em at the edge of your render distance, popping in and out over and over as you go, and all you see are meteor after meteor after meteor every time the player renders for you.

The Apex mounts do not bother me usually. a lot of them do not have big flashes or flames.
storm atronach do hurt because of the static

The Radiant Apex or Crown Gem Exclusive mounts do often bother me, but not all of them.
some notable ones that hurt my head due to strobing or flashes or bright colours which can cause migraines

Spirit Queen Welwa, Spellscar Quasigriff, Harrowstorm Bear, Ahz-m'Athra, Legion Zero Sabre Cat(along with its companion recall animation),
and i think one or two of the dark chivalry crate radiants but i havent seen them in a while.
those are just ones i remember

I have absolutely no problem, I even like seeing some people with these mounts with extravagant effects, they are rare mounts, it's understandable that they are exuberant and with great effects, I think that like in real life, nothing will please everyone, and there will always be complaints, I think people should be happy, whether they are happy to have exuberant mounts or not, if some people have problems with shiny effects, I'm sorry, but it's a game, there will always be visual effects, and I still think the effects of ESO's are very small compared to other games... so honestly I think it's an exaggeration for some people (who don't have any visual problems) to complain, but that's it, no one is ever satisfied, and that's normal.

I love the Welwa mounts, I'm trying to collect them, bought the Iron Orc one right way, up to four now. I had the endeavor points to buy the Spirit Queen Welwa, but I just couldn't suffer that monstrosity.

I hate all that flashy stuff.
Heck, even that bright torchbug(?) is so bright, it literally hurts my eyes. Did you notice, it even shines through walls? (Like portals, which will shine through rocks...)
ZOS, please stop this - or make it an option to turn those effects off.

I like them but boy have I gotten a few scares in Cyrodiil when someone next to me opens some great big sparkly gate to oblivion to summon his mount
