I would go with yes!

Ive only lost one mektoub and that was while mounted on it, i believe the goari went to hit me (did even scratch me) however he managed to fry my mektoub (smell of burning mektoub hair is very unpleasant)

I come to this conclusion because earlier that day i aggroed an varinx running to thesos it hit me several times as it chased me so i dismounted and boosted and put my heavy armor on came back and killed it. However my mektoub was untouched and the varinx could have quite easly mauled her while i was suiting up. So imo i would say yes..

Ive had hours of fun running around on my mount, especially when moving from one harvest area to another, or dropping off orders, makes a nice change from teleporting. Sometimes i feel like teleporting, sometimes I feel like crusing around on my mek. :cool:

At first I thought the 10k a pop on food was far too expensive but I need something to spend my money on.

I'd admit they are more novel than anything but you cant argue with choice, if you want a mount (or a pony :p ) you can have one, if you think they are too expensive and of no use you don't have to have one :)

I think mounts are a wonderfull way to spend a dapper surplus quite a few players have. I read speed, fun, convinient in carrying gear.

I like the following idea: When I am able to buy an appartment, I can dump there what I normally have in the packers. Then free the packers, port to fyros, buy a mount and three packers, wear my most fancy black armor and roam the desert. Be a midget Touareg for a few days! I would simply love that!

Love mine, however.

1. Mile per food is terrible (like the idea of forage your own, very much)
2. Level 3 packer should be able to keep up.

Ive ticketed both for improvement and will also ticket for forage own.

Foraging own is a great idea :)

Only you should have to harvest 100 mats for it to be equivelent energy and bulk of bought food :)

Personally I'd say that it should be less bulk etc when foraging food, otherwise what's the point? Sure 10k a feed is a fair bit, but I spend 10 times that a day on tickets.

Bought food = convenient
Foraged food = cheaper and more effective

Oh, and if this is the case, then perhaps it should be non trade too, or do we want a thriving trade in mek food? Could be interesting...
