The Mekgineer's Chopper and horde equivalent are quite close in price to the Traveler's Thundra Mammoth when bought at exalted. Which do you think is better and which would you choose given the chance? /discuss =D

Chopper vs. Mammoth, both are cool and both are expensive... A hard choice for many I am sure :-)

I was recently on vacation in Bretagne in Northern France, and in the city of Nantes I saw what can be considered to be a real life equivalent of the Traveler's Tundra Mammoth - a huge and impressive elephant that makes a lot of noise and can also carry passengers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzyWja6vg3I

If we compare this thing to a real life chopper, then I would most likely choose the chopper as it is both faster and more manoeuvrable and also easier to fit inside a parking spot. These two mounts have the same speed and manoeuvrability in-game though, and because of this I would probably choose the mammoth since I like to have the vendors with me at all times :-)

Riding a mammoth means business for sure, but the downside to it is that it is so huge that takes up a big portion of your screen. If you are one of those people who prefer to have as much visibility of your surroundings as possible, then the chopper is maybe a better choice as it is less imposing and allows you to see more of your screen, but it has no vendors and can only carry one passenger.
