Various mounts, pets, and other cosmetic items of this kind have become a staple of MMORPGs. How much do you value them while playing?
Of all the gaming genres, MMORPGs are probably the most suitable for being stuffed with all sorts of cosmetic items. The most common ones found in most of these games are mounts and pets.
“Established” MMORPGs like WoW or FFXIV now offer their players a huge selection of various cosmetic items to enhance their characters. There are hundreds of mounts and pets, some of which are difficult to obtain and are considered “status symbols.” Others are only available for a limited time or only in the cash shop.
For some MMORPG fans, this can even be a decisive criterion for how much time they spend in the game. Collectors among us often invest an incredible amount of time and effort (sometimes money too) to get their hands on a specific rare mount or pet.
But there are also plenty of people who are indifferent to all the cosmetics. They use the regular starter mount and see no reason to change it, as long as it doesn’t offer them any gameplay advantages. After all, mounts can have different riding speeds, and pets sometimes provide additional inventory slots.
