I think it's out of their control, a taxi has a certain amount of backlog that he has tocomplete before he getsto mine. I'm sure they all know that hunters would like to get their mount back asap but there isn't really anything they can do about it. They don't set the schedule, it's set by how many people want their services. If 120 mounts are before yours, and you want it in a few months, you have to find a taxi that can do this for you, one with not quite as large a backlog.

Of course, there is the possiblity that an odd taxi may purposely keep his backlog 12 months behind to appear busy but I have no proof that this actually happens.
