Mount in Cosmic Exploration

Can you add mounts to Cosmic Exploration?
That'd be great, since sometimes you need to run very long distances, and even with the Gateways and the permanent Sprint, it takes forever to run between places.

As a Dynamis player with no access to Gateways, it would be nice to have the ability to mount and go just a bit quicker ^^'

Even more so, some of those A-Ranks for Gathering are so far spread apart you watch your Gold timer tick away 3-4 seconds too late. It feels like they didn't fully test gatherers out in here. It's okay to have them that far apart in the overworld as we can mount between nodes.

I'm all in favour of letting us mount, or at least be able to rent one with CE currency...

Please no.
I actually enjoy not having to summon a stupid mount after every gathering node for a change just to land a few meters away again.
It’s refreshing seeing people actually run instead of a flying thing zooming around everywhere in every shining color and form.
The area in the hub is lagging enough already.

Infinite sprint is fast enough and the transporters make it really easy to move around. It really doesn’t take long to travel around.
Just make the timer a bit longer for gathering nodes and all is good in that regard.

Just my feedback in the hope that they actually address the core issues next time (timer, size of the map, maybe even a different gathering challenge without moving around so much) and as a voice that there are people who like how it is

Isn't sprint and base ground mount speed the same?
I think its better to stick with sprint since its perma and don't have to mount up every time.

Players trying to do the gathering missions : "time is too short, please make it easier !"

Also, players trying to do the gathering misions : "please let us use mounts so that all gathering spots will be hidden by ten players using their huge whale mounts taking half of my screen, this sure is gonna end well"

So far, I think disallowing mounts was the right choice, if only because of the sheer volume of the crowds in Cosmic Exploration. Besides, if they had planned to allow mounts---especially flying mounts---I suspect they would've made the zone itself much bigger to compensate, and it would've taken just as long to move from place to place.

I think what sells the deal for me is not having to resummon mount painfully between each gathering attempt.
