>Keybinds were fine when we had 4 mounts, but their number keeps increasing and it's getting more and more confusing. I use numbers in my numpad for the mounts, but not everyone uses a keyboard with numpad these days.

I use Shift+1 through Shift+8 so that I can still hit them with my left hand which leaves my right on my mouse. This also helps when I play on my Surface which doesn't have a number pad. Maybe that will help someone else?

A lot of us have switched to using keybinds if a third party app isn't the comfortable option, and that's what I would recommend as well. Having moved my movement keys to ESDF and action bar keys to all the keys surrounding it (weapon bar is XZAQW and utility is VBGTR) I have 1-7 on my keyboard open to mounts, no numpad required.

 

using 7 buttons for mounts is still too many. For something that you can do with a single press using the radial mount menu.
