Ground mounts need some serious upgrades!

I swear, people don't want to work for anything anymore in MMOs. "I don't want to have to go all the way around this plateau to find a path up on it, give me stepping rocks up to the top right from the camp!!" lol seriously though, a big part (not as big as it should be imo however) of MMOs is the exploration. So what if it takes you 2 minutes longer to get to point B because of obstacles, you do get there. Take the time to enjoy the game and don't be in such a rush all the time. And like everyone said, once you unlock flying in that zone, the reward is that much sweeter.

A sprint for ground mounts! Could work.

Oh, that wasn't where I was going but yeah, this is a much better idea anyway.

Well, I did do that with the Mists and the Sea of Clouds...however with the Forelands and Western Highlands I finished most of the quests near the end, when I got the MSQ aether current. I still have quite a few quests in each area.

Not to mention I love finding the currents so... I like to do that first.

Also you unlock more quests in the zone, like west Coerthas @56 opens up a few new quests in the zone.

If anything, air mounts are too fast. That they can already travel in a straight line without hitting obstacles cuts down on travel times tremendously. Going faster on top of that wasn't necessary, in my opinion.
