Mount Races

Hello!
So I have recently bought and leveled up a wyvern. I have been really enjoying the new mount system as a whole, but especially the wyverns. While I was flying around and leveling it I had a cool idea. Mount racing!
Basically a minigame players can queue into on the party finder and race mounts through various parts of the wynn terrain.

A couple circuits I had in mind are the Ahms Sky islands, The Canyon of the Lost, Upper and lower molten heights, Corkus Industry area, and Rymek/the surrounding terrain.

Basically alot like elytra maps with flight rings, but using the flying/ground mounts instead.

"But why tho?" There are rewards. Participating in a race will level random stats on your mount that isn't maxeed yet, and give a bit of "world event" type loot for the top 3 performers.

Id argue there shouldn't be an entry cost like for raids or dungeons since its not a very profitable minigame, something more for fun (like sparrow racing for my D2 players ;). Different level mounts are clearly going to be more powerful than others I.E, a potential 240 vs a 1k. Possibly having a system that puts players with similar leveled mounts in the same competition could make it more fair? This could give reason to have more than 1 mount in the stables, for different level races and such. Since right now most people only have one of each type of mount in the stables. Possibly adding a races won leaderboard would be fun too! I'm not a game dev so I wont give any numbers/exacts.

Overall I think this would not only add more repeatable content through most of the game, but also add a more fun and engaging way to level and use mounts. I personally would play this just as much as raids.

I'm open to more additions/Ideas on this so please give ideas in response

 

I think this would be cool, an potentially give Silver I'll more to do. However the likelihood hood that consistent races can be queued for isn't going to be very high if I had to guess.
