flying mounts only for guild leaders????

how do you guys feel about only the guild leader from a castle holding guild gets the flying mount?
i think the entire guild has cooperated equaly in order to secure the castle so why only single out the leader of that guild to get it.
I understand that keeping these mounts super rare makes it all the more epic to have one however i think giving it to the guild leader is unfair to the rest of the guild. Wouldn't you agree?
instead you could for example give them to people no1 on leaderboards or something. This way you would also prevent the same people always having it
what do you guys think?

i agree with not having them at all, but wouldn't it be better if for example the person who took the throne got the mount instead of the guild leader?
They are specifically able to be traded - at least while eggs.
Yes, flying mounts will be strictly available for some "Mayors of metropolis nodes and Kings and Queens of Guild castles. Royal mounts can also be dropped from legendary world bosses."
The eggs are exchangeable so it should be available for anyone ? (For the rich players and for the lucky players).
The limitation is that eggs will be extremely rare. Every one who found an egg should deserve to use the mount. This is an injustice that is sure to cause controversy.
This is not a real problem as the flying mounts will be extremely rare.
the ones found in the open world maybe but not the ones designated for positions of power.
otherwise give me a 8,8 Flak....
flying mount outside of met/castle holders will be rare/hard to aquire so i suspect they only get hatached when there needed for seiges.
I personally think it's too much, I would be more than happy with only guild leaders, mayors and no more than 2/3 eggs at a time
with 10k players, I am willing to bet there will be more than 20 guild leaders. Probably an "additional" step then just being a guild leader.
The additional step is that the Guild Leader would either need to be a Monarch or a Mayor.
The other super-rare eggs are even more temporary, I think... lasting less than one month.
Monarchs is the title they are using for the pvp castle owners of that month. Since they are guild content, the guild leader "becomes" the monarch. Since there are only 5 castles, there are only 5 guilds that those leaders come from at any given time. Metros mayors are similarly capped at 5, but can be anyone, not just a guild leader/owner. There are restrictions and steps planned to keep people from cheesing the system by just swapping around leader while their guild is in control of a castle to cheese the "ownership" of the flying mount. Node mayor cannot be similarly transferred. The player looted eggs have been said by Intrepid to never exceed the base number of 10 base flying mounts available from those mechanics. So meaning that in a perfect storm there will be a maximum of 20 eggs "hatched" at any one time. That loot (the egg) has a timer, so people will not be stockpiling them. So they will get the egg, and have to sell it before the timer runs out, hatch it, or lose it. Then it has depending on the level of the animal husbandry prof they give it to "process" a life of 15-30 days. (irl time, does not pause while offline). And finally, they are part of the whole restriction process on how often and from where they can be launched. You need a Royal Stable to launch a T3 mount. So if you have an egg, hatch it, you better have access to a guild castle or metro with one if you want to use it for the I think it was 30 minutes at a time you can use it. (tbd during testing)
I love the idea of propping up guild leaders as these massive figure heads, almost emporer like. Everyone wants to be special, but our desire to give everyone a trophy means nobody is special. If you want to be special, then go create your own powerful guild and make your way to the top, or go work your way to becoming the head of some religious group or whatever else they plan on putting in the game. Then and only then will you be special enough, and you can fly above everyone else while they look up and go "Ooooooh! Ahhhhh!". I think players need to get it in their head that... they're not special. Being special is the exception, not the rule.
LOL "EQUALLY"
Tell me you've never been a guild leader without telling you've never been a guild leader.
The amount of patience, structure, knowledge to get the 50-300 man childrens in line to do stuff is well damn deserved for a flying mount.
the only person who can take the throne is the guild leader .-.
the reason they will be getting them is the same reason guild leaders usually get more stuff than the guild members
Edit: As for how that increased number of mounts could be achieved, I think they could come up with more avenues. That would make them feel slightly more attainable for players whose interests lie outside of guild leadership as well.
As long as a talented gliding mount operator can still kill someone off their flying mount, I'm fine with it.
Talent and skill should supersede shiny shit, cool critters, and toys.
Before to be guild leaders we are all players playing a game. And being a guild leaders doesn't mean automatically being a good guild leader. Let's stay into the reality please )
the leader wont be the only one with a mount. the gl can assign high ranking officers and they will also get a flying mount.
also, you can get a flying mount from animal husbandry
If you are talking about the wyrmlings, those are assigned during the monthly siege event, and the number of those available is determined by how well they defend the three "mini-nodes" in the lead up to the final event. So they will be used during the event, guild officers will not be pissing about on their own T3 for the month (or longer) they hold it.
actualy i've been a guild leader and a raid leader in the past i know it can be very time consuming thats why i had to stop. I think having a great guild is its own reward. besides if we would all start a guild yours would have 1 member
My take on flying mounts is that nobody should have them because they can give players a clear advantage over others. if i realy wanted a dragon i wouldn't start a guild for it, i would just buy one
If you aren't a good guild leader you won't be getting the mount lmao. Also owning a city is not based on being gm of a guild but it be kind of expected those that are gm would have an advantage of course.
