Make Mounts Faster?

I feel they should make mounts faster, they can even add a boost like when you run for 20 secs. It would also help getting to hunts quicker :)

Thoughts?

When everyone has boost no one gets to hunts faster.

Remove 90% of aetherytes and I'll agree to ye

I don't think this is limited just to hunts though. This game overall is just painfully slow. The GCD is slow. Running is slow. Mounts are only slightly faster than running. It feels even WORSE than XI did, and logging into any other game from this one you can see the massive difference.

This is a really, really slow game.

People already complain that travelling is too quick because of teleports (I disagree) so making mounts faster would just originate more complaints.

Personally, I don't feel that increasing mount speed is necessary. It's already double the speed of your normal character movement (without sprint).

Huh, there are a lot of people who feel XI was the more slower pace.

Agreed here. It could sometimes take a full half hour to get from A to B, even longer if waiting for an airship or boat was involved. This game doesn't take long at all.

I still play 11 and even with the movement speed buff a year or so ago XIV is still faster to me especially with sprint that basically only THF has in 11. Much faster and jump mechanics would become really tedious. Go try and make precision jumps with Sprint up.

The only concession I would personally agree with on speed boost would be when walking/running/sprinting/riding on clearly marked roads- Even then, it shouldn't be too large. Travel across open fields should remain as-is.

Chocobo porters move at a faster pace than personal mounts (from what I've noticed), and since they stick to marked roads, it fulfills your suggestion.
