Makes me feel lame not having an epic mount or companion

I feel so out of place using my crappy brown horse and my useless level 15 cleric, while everyone has sexy naga lady or epic fire horse and spider
I wish there was a way to get that kind of stuff without relying on expensive AD, lock box or zen market
when i am level 60 i know people gonna laugh at me for only having the brown horse and the cleric companion

I was able to gear up my GWF to 12k GS very soon after hitting level 60. Didn't take me long to buy a Heavy Worg through AD to Zen Exchange. Soon after that expense, I funded my GF's level 60 gear, placing her at 10.5k GS(Tactician feats, not Conq) instantly after hitting level 60. My GWF now has 13.1k GS, while my GF has 11k.
This is all from pugs. I didn't join a guild until very recently.
The other thing I wish is that we could choose the appearance and maybe the gender of the Companions we are given.
One of my characters has the Cleric (which looks quite good), but another has the Wizard (which is male and is a dark-skinned Elf (not Drow though, as iirc they have white hair and his is dark). I wish he looked like the Elven Disciple girl, which looks a lot better.
you ca also get blue alchemy stuff for a steal thanks to the snake girl who IMHO is ugly. They are going to add i companion traiing scrolls. ad probibly many more pets and mounts as time goes on. You can get a flying sword pet from glory, save up ardent coins for an angel, or do foundry stuff for the foundry stone.
Or you can always get the 65$ elf pack that comes with a way cooler pet than the north set. but you know everyone will have them too. Im sure in time you will get your purples(or train up your greens with scrolls) But dont feel shame for not being in a rush.
Buying people a horse (about 10 ppl).
But yeah, some people are just happy to get a mount lol, it seems so long ago horses were 2g, i don't think many people have 5g at lvl 20.
Toons:
New: CW Level 60
GF = Level 60
DC = Level 60
TR = Level 60

It's the only thing I don't think I could live without.
Uh? Why? I used to have both for quite some time, didn't feel "lame" at all. You don't need all these expensive toys to play the game. Some of the best pvp players i know still have the free horse. Of course it helps a lot. I would have trouble playing pvp without a purple horse myself. But it's not mandatory. There are also countless people with the common cleric companion. The fact is that the vast majority of the players still have the 5g mount and a free pet. You don't need to waste diamonds on that. Sure, it looks cool, but a free palomino and a free cleric look cool too.

The only other "must have" items beyond the vanilla ones, I think, are the augment companions, especially at level 60.
I've got 9 level 60s and 8 of them have standard 5g mount. The other one doesn't have a mount. Why would you care what other people think? Not that other people care what mount you have. Even those people that it matters to are too busy reveling in how awesome they are to notice that you even exist much less which mount you have.
Also most pets aren't of much use, and the ones which are and add stats are only really required to compensate for player ability.
Thats how world turns.

I feel you completely misunderstand what people think when they see players with mounts or pets.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and speak for most people, but I do so with confidence that this is accurate. Most people, honestly, don't give a second thought to it. What someone has for a pet or mount generally means NOTHING to most people. And the one time they do care. Its not in the manner that you might expect.
When they do care about someones pet or mount, its simply because said pet or mount is blocking a vendor or simply in the way. And those folks would like it gone. No out of jealously or envy. But simply out of convenience.
Now i am waiting for this cute woman to buy her stuff on Beholder, but no one wants to go out with me because i am so ugly
Which is why they give you three 5-hr mount rental tokens in the lv20 Adventurer box. So that you can try the mounts out until you get 5g (or save up AD/decide to spend zen).
Before that, once I got my 1st character to 60, I simply used them to buy the 5G mounts and companions for my alts.

Im a lvl 60 DC fully geared and i have a pale horse lol Mounts in neverwinter are only good for PvP and... well to look cool
For me is not top priority atm, i rather spend my AD to test some transmutes and dyes and find the look im looking for
The mounts in this game definitely aren't need as much as they are in Atlantica Online(massive continents), but they are still a huge boost while leveling characters.
A T3 mount makes leveling a new character less of pain on a few different levels.
-You get to objectives faster, letting you complete the quests faster.
-You're fast enough to outrun any monster. No worries about an annoying enemy following you everywhere.
-It takes 5 hits to knock you off, something that can only be done by 6 ranged mobs and/or DoT mobs.
This means you spend a lot less time fighting mobs that noticed you, something that normally adds a lot of extra time to leveling.
Seriously? I take it as a point of pride that I'm level 60 and still using my 2g horse and free (and only) tank companion. And they're far from useless. I would be ashamed to be seen on a nightmare, not only because it looks awful but because it also means that you've been suckered by the lockbox lottery. I am genuinely surprised that people find things like that to be cool and desirable, but I am equally genuinely grateful that they do.
The items from the "lockbox lottery" are not BOP. So if you see someone on one that doesn't mean they were suckered by it. Last time I looked there was plenty on the AH to just straight up buy with AD. Still not as good a deal as buying a Zen mount, but some people prefer the flaming horse look.
(There are 1800 T2 mounts but the 1500 is just as fast)
I paid as wanted to give something to Devs for such a great game. (was pretty hard to pay but thats another story)
T2 mount is fine if you aren't into P2P and just want the speed boost and don't need the flashy mounts.
Looking for a guild for PvE Dungeons to suit AEST evenings
Now I'm saving for the T3 Warhorse (I'm not fond of the more expensive fancy mounts such as the Tigers and Bears... and I bet they'll eventually come out with Lions too). Well... right after I get a Bear companion for my Cleric.
