Will mounts become Bind on Account once MOP is released?

Been hearing in trade chats various mentions to the fact that any & all toon mounts accumulated will become B.O.A.?
Has this been verified? I do recall reading at some point mention of account bound achieves of some sort, but can't remember if there was a mount subject?
If this is true that would be awesome, as I've got a couple toons that have gone the grinding rep for mounts and to me in my humble opinion, if 1 of your toons did the grind why shouldn't all your toons get credit.
I'm certain there will be people that will get aggitated by that idea especially if they did multiple toon grinds for same faction rep to get mounts, but to me doing a gazillion of the same dailies to raise rep on a slew of your toons to get the same mounts that 1 of your account's toons has achieved becomes semi-torturous to me.
Which then usually leads me to just not go do it. Especially when there are a ton of different things to go after/achieve within this wonderous Warcraft World!

Yes, all mounts, pets and achievements are going to be account bound(IE you can access them on all characters from the new pet/mount panel) in MoP.

well almost all - currently Honor bought mounts are not account bound on the beta, and are still supposed to be 1 character only - they may change their minds about this though.

Class specific mounts are also exempted, as I'm informed.

Not really looking forward to account wide mounts. My warrior, Gumballs, is my main collector. I collect on my hunter and shaman as well but only casually. Gum is the one who has the Zulian Tiger, Amani Dragonhawk, Mottled Drake, Time Lost, Big Love Rocket, Blue Drake... I don't want my other characters to suddenly have all those mounts too. o_O
Call me weird, but I don't think I will ever use my rare drop mounts on any character except the one they dropped on.

You are weird; but it's understandable.

how you decide too treat the mounts that will become account wide is your own decision, some people might find it strange. but it doesnt make you weird.
i myself will use serveral mounts on alts also, although some of them i will use on my main only since i earned it on him it doesnt belong on the other. (firehawk main only! for now :p)

I like the idea of some stuff being account wide but as someone who did loremaster on 4 toons, kind of wish that 1 wouldn't be account wide lol

You can still earn the achievement on specific toons, even if you've completed it on another; currently on the achievement tab it says which toon did it, but once you do on the current one, your name changes(I believe).

Faction-specific mounts are also not shared.
This might seem obvious in that Alliance characters don't get the wolves, but this also means that if you e.g. have all the normal city and tournament mounts on a Horde character, their Alliance equivalents (wolf<->horse) are
not
unlocked on Alliance characters. It does
not
work like a faction change.
Only neutral mounts are truly account-wide.
Subject to change as the Beta progresses, but that's how it is now.
Sidenote: I'm also a little concerned because this is also true for achievements which are technically two different ones for each faction, but otherwise identical - most notably almost all of the holiday metas, including Long Strange Trip. Well, at least
Violet Proto-Drake
is shared as a neutral mount, so you still get the free
Master Riding
by mounting it once.

To me, that is the biggest perk of this entire system. Earn that achievement, and save a ton of gold on alts.

Is RAF mounts included...

Yes. At this point, only class mounts and mounts acquired through Arena/RBGs are not account-wide.

Am I right in thinking that "gold sink" mounts are also not included?

At first, gold sinks mounts (Traveller's Tundra Mammoth, Sandstone Drake, and the new Yak) were intended to not be account-wide, but they recently reverted on that stance, these will be account-wide as well. The Yak's price doubled on the Beta, though.

Which means making it an account bound mount is an even better idea...can you imagine trying to get 100k on multiple toons for that thing?

because
