The idea of the mount being a pet isn't that bad, i just think you need have the option if you want or not the mount being your pet.
And if you allow me ask that, but, when you said ''You'll have to feed him and take good care of him.'', its like, you need to feed him or you are gonna lose you mount forever, or you mean that you need feed him to make him stronger?
The idea of make the mount stronger isn't that bad if this is not going to directly affect the combat or if is not going to be a system like in The Elder Scrolls Online where you have one point each day to spent on your mount, meaning you need almost a whole year to level up your mount to the max.
Thank you for the reply.
Both. You'll need to feed him in order not to lose him and also to make him stronger. Different mounts will have different durability on long distances.
Mounts system on so many MMoRPGs seems to be so much over-underestimated.
