okay yeah the ability to ride on monsters is insanely useful and from what I can tell everyone is sleeping on this so far. I did several multiplayer hunts this morning and in each hunt I was the only player who was summoning tailraiders to ride around the map.

they literally

1. automatically track and follow the monster you're currently hunting
2. allow you to drink potions, eat food, craft items while traveling there
2a. since I'm using the LBG I couldn't test whether it allows you to sharpen your weapon or not. someone else can confirm for me one way or the other? if not, I'll test it when I play later

and

last but not least

3. they don't climb walls while following... they instantly jump to the top of the wall without using any stamina.

so basically it's an automatic method to follow the monster you're hunting, without using stamina, gets you there faster if there are any cliffs/walls to climb on the way, and it lets you manage your inventory between zones without needing to stop, slow down, or try to navigate the menu while moving (since the mount moves on its own automatically)
