<p>I love the idea of the dire bear -- that my character can obtain a mount when they are both young and the mount will grow with the character. I'd like to see this idea expanded, so that a young character could obtain a quested mount and via a series of quests that would become available at various levels, the character could level up the mount and equip it. </p><p>There might also be any number of character-made items that the mount could use. It might have armor, which could give armorers a variety of badly-needed recipes, or a lovely saddle, or harvest bags. Stats might vary, according to how the mount is equipped or what quests you have done with that mount or what you feed it. Maybe there could also be special rare harvestable treats for your mount, which would give it some sort of stat boost for a short time. Maybe there could be a riding crop that would make the mount go faster. Essentially, there could be as much customization with the mount as with the character. </p><p>It would also be nice if the mount could display a name, like the dire bear does when it is little and before you can ride it, and if the character could dismount and have the mount stand or even walk at his side.</p>
