…
last I checked you literally cannot mount in any type of combat engagement.
so how exactly would they escape a “bad situation”?
lolol
let’s get rid of all cast times. and just enter x y coords to teleport anywhere any time. double click to auto complete quests. allow us to edit our character database directly and do anything we want, after all anything else feels unnecessary, a minor annoyance for no reason

Guys, you are all missing the point.
Not everyone does open world PVP. It would not make sense for this 2 second cast to be universal just for the sake of open world pvp. If you are a casual player like me who just chills around the game, the 2 second cast gets more and more annoying each time you use.
There are many alternatives blizzard could implement to compensate for the lack of that 2 second cast, like make leaving combat 2 seconds longer, or let there be 2 second cast if there are pvp players nearby, etc. Or just make the 2 second cast exist only in BGs and War Mode On.
Would not make sense to inconvenience the entire player base for these unique scenarios.
MMORPG’s evolve over time and in this day and age, mount cast time is just a pointless feature. Maybe many OG players do not notice this 2 second cast anymore, but i’m sure there are many players out there like me who do.
I’ve been thinking for quite a while, the mount cast time should be more like 10 seconds. It’s absurd that people pull out a mount to travel 50 yards.
How often do you all mount up? The cast time is minimal and instant cast just seems stupid.
Honestly this change should be implemented anyway but closer to 8 seconds out of pvp combat just in order to mount. So dumb how everybody just runs the second there’s any action.

It takes time to get on a horse! I’ll support no cast time as long as there is a chance to fall off added to mounting that will stun you for 2 second.
As someone who enjoys many other games. Yes please.
GW2, Elden Ring, many other games have instant cast mount and it works perfectly fine.
Not to mention, druids already have that, and no one is crying. So yeah, enough favoritism, just give it to everyone.
As a night elf Druid, it’s really easy.
Shadowmeld then flight form and gone.
so then why not make it fair for everyone by just removing the cast time on mounts?
It’s already unfair for this very reason, so why not just make it across the board?
And excluding night elves as a race, there are only like 2 classes that could effectively pull something like this off.
Like, you (royal) don’t realize how advantageous some things are in this game over everything else until you stop to think about it. Then when people say “hey let’s get rid of this dumb thing” you get people that defend said dumb thing without realizing that the work around already exists as special treatment for picking one specific thing.
This is not a rag on you in particular but rather the situation here in general, just to clarify.
I’d say you could make it instant baseline and add a cast-time in PvP instances and War Mode, though even that might not be necessary considering druids can already do it.

Old Republic has a perk to cast your mount while moving— out of combat, of course. Still has a cast time, but can be done while running.
It’s fantastic. I want it here.

This, right here, is exactly what i am talking about. New gen mmo’s are no longer doing this. It is a very outdated feature and its about time that blizzard started adapting.

Omg i cant wait 2 seconds to cast, this game is trash
I fixed it for you
Nah…I say leave it as it is so ONLY druids can get away from gankers easy.
Different MMO environments.
No need for instant cast for PvP issues. Just implement the same thing that a similar MMORPG with similar PvP style has: mount cast while moving out of combat.
It really is spectacular and doesn’t mess up the PvP stuffs.
