Large Mounts (ArcheAge Style - Like the Wyverns / Dragon Mounts)

I wanted to see everyone's thought about the Large Mounts idea. I put a video above how it looks in ArcheAge knowing that Steven was a big ArcheAge player and took a lot of inspiration to incorporate into AoC. So, these mounts are gotten two ways, be the leader of a guild that's holding a zone and the other way is beating the hardest World Boss in the game and it having a VERY SMALL CHANCE of dropping an Egg that you then have to grow and it takes around 1-2 weeks. The mounts are very very OP but at a cost of a monthly feeding cost. With something like this in the game, it allows end game players to have something to go further for and it's rewarded by an item that's worth showing off and using in a PVP sense. In Archeage it's the only perm fly mount in game both the Dragons and wyverns. But the wyvern system was made for the 6 faction heroes which I will talk about in another post, about the hero system. But in terms of this what do you guys think about these larger mounts. for a game like Ashes of creation, I think it should be a type of phoenix or something. Personally I love Dragons so I'd love to see them put into the game.

This is already planned however not anyone can use them. https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Royal_mounts
They did a livestream awhile back talking more about it. Perhaps look for that youtube video or someone here may be able to link the correct one. Royal mounts still are not OP as they can be killed. Sure it might take a little extra but when your using a flying mount to coordinate a battle and go back down to use it to attack there will be a inbetween point that makes it vulnerable to attack. This may change but it will never be OP for how its intentionally built to be used.

I loved the large ground mounts like the elephant's in WoW, that had vendors or the ability to carry friends. Was great for when my wife would make snacks while I got us to where we needed to go next in game.
