Fiachra suggested I do this- so I am.
here is the issue at hand (confirmed): Trample has a horrible land rate. I've an almost maxed skill and landed once out of 17 times. the lag is ginormous (big). I think it may need some slight tweaking due to it's horrible land rate.
second: As players grow stronger, their mounts stay behind- However players NEED to go to higher level areas in order to grind, meanwhile their mounts just get destroyed by aggies left and right. What I would suggest is the ability to buy set tiers to ones mount. The reason being is that it is the only way to give THEM a "fighting" chance to survive vs. large aggy mobs before we can save them, and heal. They dont assist, so there would be no abuse. Their only function is for us to ride, save stamina/mv loss, and get slight dmg bonuses from them. They hard ever come into PK fights, and we can't order our mounts around- so aside from griding/exploring, they are useless. I would propose a 2 silver/tier for perzed mounts. It gives them the stamina, and mv increase that could come in VERY handy when going into mazes and such- In the long run this only benefits us in small areas, but they are helpful nethertheless.
