Not Mounting While Gathering?

[Ouchmaker]

I have been playing since Beta and I have noticed from the beginning of ARR that I'm the only one that seems to mount up to get to nodes faster. Is there a reason for this?

Bots? Probably bots.

Some bots, yes heh

Don' be silly. The bots have insta travel between nodes. A position hack thing.

As for me, I just run between the nodes. I use my GPs constantly. I probably get an extra tic or two between nodesby not mounting.

Most of the time nodes are close enough that mounting might save you 5 seconds or so when sprint isn't up and waste a second or two when it is up. I personally never mount up when gathering. It feels....off, I guess. Maybe because I don't keep a mount on any of my cross hotbars anymore.

OK, just making sure there wasn't a mechanic I was missing somewhere.

Same here, I usually sprint between nodes.
The only place where I have used mounts so far are the lvl.50 ones in raincatcher gully.

And sometimes I don't even sprint at all. When I'm gathering for a longer time I'm usually in relax mode, I can live with the extra few seconds it takes.

Same as you I like to mount between nodes because at least it changes from running
So far I assume people that use mounts are not bots

If I'm in a hurry I'll sprint/mount up... but other than that not really. The nodes tend to be close enough.

Well, I am glad it's all personal preference =)
