Yes it's a known issue. In fact it's so well known that the reds made a post about it! https://forums.wildstar-online.com/forums/index.php?/topic/63312-advanced-riding-skill-bug-response/

You say these bugs delay levelling but they don't. Not in any significant way. Minus the obvious hyperbole of your statements, they have a minor impact on the QoL in-game. I'm level fifty, as are several of my guild mates. I had all my money taken by the mount bug, had nameplate problems, quest hand-ins not work, etc. However, these pale in comparison to the problems I have experienced at the launch of other MMOs, or even MMO expansions. Do I want these bugs fixed? Of course - the nameplate one drives me nuts - and who wouldn't want their platinum back? Despite this, the very fact that we've been able to play comfortably since early release coupled with Carbine's continuing efforts to communicate and fix problems makes me feel valued as a player and customer. You might expect a 100% perfect MMO at launch but then you're in the tiny minority.

If I could like either of these posts more than once I would. It's sad, people these days are so bloody impatient, or have a complete lack of understanding that fixing these issues takes time. Out of the numerous MMO's I've played, W* is certainly one of the most smoothest in regards to launch. I remember back in my WoW days, you'd be lucky if you could even log into the server after a big patch drop or when an expansion first launched. It wasn't uncommon for the game to be virtually unplayable for almost a week or so. GW2 is the only other game I've played that had a relatively clean launch (Granted it was plagued with bugs, ones that broke dynamic events in particular.) No game will launch being perfect, anyone who expects games, especially ones such as W* are kidding themselves, and should seriously re-evaluate their views, because they're horrifically unrealistic. That said, have I encountered bugs? Yes, of course I have, quite a few in fact, but none of them have stopped me from leveling. If certain big bugs, like the one with the mount persist to exist 4-6 months from now? Then I'll likely have become one of those squeaky wheels bugging carbine saying "Hey, this is a known issue for an age, what's going on?", however, from what I've observed of Carbines track record, I doubt they'll willingly let that happen. The amount of effort they put into communicating with their clients is truly admirable IMO. Give them time, the game will not get fixed over night.
