The overwhelming majority of people don't understand that the value of something depends on what it takes to get it.
You liked the easy peasy Springer and glider, yet you don't value them at all:
Springer was amazing when it came out. It saved a large amount of time getting to poi, hero points, and navigating Heart of Thorns. The boost in mobility it provides is massive.
But you want a "decent mount" now. The irony is that the Griffon takes far more time to learn to use than it takes to unlock it. There's a reason you rarely see anyone on it.
Do you have sources behind the idea that they've been working on GW3 since the end of EoD?
multiple layoffs happened and we don't really know what they're working on behind the scenes, GW2 is not a side project now, it is still their main and only source of income
My primary means of getting around all of the maps is dismount the Springer just before it jumps to launch myself in the air, then deploy the glider, then use the Jade Bot updraft.
All of that came from End of Dragons and I have been able to reach even the highest areas of all of the maps this way.
The boost recharges every 30 seconds and I can remain airborne sometimes minutes at a time.
Since this thread is about JW I will give an example where I jump off the Wizards camp towards where all those Champion monsters are. The second boost gets me over the cliff and I keep on going. There are updrafts on those maps as well.
Flying around this way is my favorite thing in the game and is in no way diminished by the fact that the glider was handed to me at the start of EoD and I got the Springer from the heart at Grub Lane.
Also I think the reason you don't see people on the griffon very often is 250 gp plus a 50 step collection (where I am counting completion of the PoF story as a single step).
TLDR: no.
GW3 started development after the end of EoD, back in 2022, it is not in the any review stage anymore. You really have the audacity to tell me that I'm "talking out of my anus" yet I'm 100% sure that you have absolutely 0 proof to back the claim that it's still in the early review stage.
And of course there are multiple GW2 expansions in the works, the goal is to prevent a total content drought while they work on GW3, why does something like that even need explaining?
I'm not sure which layoffs you reference, because there have been several ones, including all the drama when people got fired for posting stuff on social media that Anet didn't like :)
But in any case, people have analysed Anet's statements, the cadence of released content,etc, and also the job listings since 2022 and the people that were hired (their profiles, Linkedin, what they specialise in, etc.) - there's basically a spreadsheet and analysis that some very "dedicated" people made, you should dig for it, I'm sure it's still out there.
It basically confirms what everyone was suspecting, all the people they hired at the end of EoD and after were specialised in UE5 + MMO stuff, and since that was an Anet listing and not an NCsoft one, it was obvious that it's directed towards Guild Wars, unless Anet somehow mysteriously decided to make a completely new MMO IP. We know GW2 won't be moving to UE5 due to such a transition being quite nearly impossible to pull off, so it's certain that it's a new project. At the end of EoD the slower pace of content also started, which became even more obvious with the new small expansions, so y'know, if they hired so many new people at that same moment that specialise in UE5 and MMOs, and they definitely ain't working on GW2, what are they doing? Because I highly doubt Anet is paying them for nothing. But anyway, there's plenty of things pointing directly in the direction of Anet working on a new MMO since the end of 2022 and the shareholder slips seem to suggest that it is GW3. There have also been some insider comments that were mentioned in those spreadsheets, but those I'm not sure if are correct because there's no real way of knowing if Anet employees really said that.
There's also a new card game in the guild wars universe coming though, it's called "Lion's Arch: Battle Arena" or something like that.
Anet tried to cover up a lot of things and did some pretty impressive scrubbing tbh that's why so much information vanished or got confusing, but it's still out there if you dig enough. And honestly, it's absolutely understandable from their point to try and hide it as much as possible, because the first reaction of people to GW3 seems to be "oh why play GW2 I'll just wait for 3 then", and considering that it's still years before we get 3, that would be a financial disaster for Anet
I literally quoted you:
"this all does seem rather punitive to get a decent mount."
You could only say this if you believed the mounts you currently possess are not decent.
Similar to if I said "All the steps to make a legendary seem rather punitive to get a decent weapon."
Half of GW2 Efficiency users have Griffon.
42% have S4 Skyscale.
13% have SotO Skyscale.
You can have both S4 and SotO Skyscale (which makes Skyscale even better).
It's a safe bet to say that the number of people who have Griffon unlocked is similar to the number of Skyscales you see in game. They don't use Griffon because it takes skill.

ANET are known with cancelling projects and changing plans, we really can't know if there is a GW3 being developed since 2022 or not, with recent news in 2024 about NCSOFT approving a GW3 that suggests they didn't start working on it yet and denies the rumors you're talking about.
the most recent statement from ANET denies the rumors about GW3 being in development since 2022:
"As an active game studio we are always doing internal exploratory work for possible future titles we’d want to create, however we have nothing to confirm right now. The team’s focus is on Guild Wars 2 development, including the game’s next expansion, which we’re excited to talk about soon."
unless if they're lying.
they're definetly working on other games besides GW2 and there is no way to know what they're working on exactly.
about the new mini expansions approach it is basically to make more money, GW2 was and still way more generous with content for what you pay compared to other games in the market, ESO for example they sell a yearly DLC that is more expensive than GW2 expansions with less content and optional monthly sub with 2 extra "episodes" DLCs inbetween, Destiny 2 sells you a tiny $100 expansion every year which is waaaaay smaller than a $25 GW2 expansion.
imo GW3 if happened won't be like a GW1 to GW2 leap, it will be almost a downgrade in every aspect aside from graphics, the original team behind GW2 is gone and basically if they make a sequel it will be more like a New World 2.0, i doubt they will take that risk because in the current time most new mmos fail miserably.
Worst thing MMO's can do tbh is focus heavily on graphics.. it's just unnecessary bloat to system resources especially when the game is expected to be huge in scale and rich with mechanic diversity and cosmetics..
Art style is severely more important to MMO's.
So even if there does come a Gw3, I hope it doesn't put too much importance on being the best looking MMO, because Guildwars has never focused on that before, it's always put significantly more focus on being fun to play and accessible to as many players as possible.
Which is partly the reason Anet have always been so anti subfee as well.. something that is a rarity now in this market space, and one of the biggest reasons for this franchises success.
If Gw3 goes subfee (which I doubt it will) then the vast majority of Gw1 and Gw2 players won't play it, and the game will flop hard.
They ain't cancelling it though, not a chance, that's quite an unrealistic assumption. Guild Wars 2 will be 13 years old next year and they themselves have quite often said how many constraints and limitations working on the old engine puts on them, which was ironically also a major reason why they moved from GW1 to GW2 back in the day as well. I mean, that really can be felt in-game as well when new content ends up being just a repurposed and changed version of something already existing because it's getting increasingly difficult for them to push the old engine further.
So we might not know how long it will take them to make GW3 and what the new game will look like, true, but they ain't cancelling it, that's quite certain, because even if they keep GW2 going for 20 more years, they won't be able to get a lot more out of the old engine from the 2010s.
Oh and yeah, the statement you quote was from the time when they were doing damage control and cover ups, and I believe that's why it's deliberately worded in such an ambiguous way. Like, think about it, they didn't say they ain't working on it, they just said they ain't confirming it right now, and the "team's focus" as in a team, but as I previously mentioned they hired more folks in the past 2 years so there's definitely more than 1 team working right now
But anyway, yeah, I guess only time will tell, because even with all the hints and info, we won't know for sure until they tell us what's up
And you have to do the council vote twice to get the achievement which makes absolutely no sense. Is my character some timeline-hopping Marvel character now? Is there a Guild Wars Multifarce?
There are numerous Central Tyria Mastery points that can only be gotten by replaying content for achievements.
