Concerns about the viability of getting 100% collectibles (Mounts, pets etc)

As a big fan of collectibles in MMOs such as mounts and pets I am worried that mechanics such as the breeding mechanics in animal husbandry will prevent completion of collections due to the amount of unique variations possible. I'm hoping that only the base of any particular mount or pet is needed to count as being acquired and that things like unobtainable skins will not leave an empty stain forever on an account. What do you guys think about mount collections and 100% acquisition of collectables?

My hope is that there is no collection system at all for mounts, as it simply doesn't make any sense to exist in Ashes.
But you’ll be able to get all the basic “breeds” assuming you put in enough time and effort, besides flying mounts unless you go very hardcore for them.
It's a rare occasion when you and I completely agree on something, but i do completely agree here.
-- clear all the achievements.
-- obtain all in-game collectibles.
-- "beat the game".
If you're one of those players, set your expectations accordingly.
I would love if the game only had 40% possible collecting probability.
Adding to this great point, some mounts will have a specific lifespan. So even if you somehow managed to get 100% of all mounts kinds of mounts, some will eventually die and you'll need to either get them again or breed them.
So you're literally not meant to have all mounts at all times
Yep. Unique legendaries are 1 per server so good luck getting all of those.
You'll never collect 100% of mounts or indeed anything. Nodes will prevent that and also there will be extremely rare mounts where only couple guild leaders will have access to after conquering a castle etc.
It won't happen. We have multiple quotes saying just that and the reasoning behind it. Here is just one.
Pay attention to the last line in the second paragraph.
