Remove cast time from Mounting, like you are from Summoning

[Vahlnir]

The cast time is like, 1-2 seconds. Not really seeing the problem here. In PvP, sure,those may be precious seconds which could mean the difference between escape and being swarmed. But...that's just PvP for ya. Most of the time you just have to know when something is a lost cause and retreating before it escalates any further. Sometimes you simply can't. Such is PvP. In PvE...this is a non issue entirely.

Wow, we're really reaching the bottom of the complaint barrel these days if this is what we've got left.

It will only get worse, I can assure you.

Where exactly is the complaint?

It's 2019 and we still don't have butt-sliders for our Chocobos.

Isn't it just so incase you change your mind and want to cancel calling your mount by interrupting the cast? Granted I know you could just just unmount straight after if that's the case, but that's the theory I had same with Teleport and Return actions.

Teleport and Return are slightly different though in that they use up resources (Gil for Teleports, and Return has a, what was it, 30 minute cooldown? That's a significant time investment). Mounting a mount costs exactly zero, so being able to cancel it isn't as essential. That said, I personally don't mind the cast time.

Sign, purely for the ability to mount while moving. Yes, it's like a second of standing still, but those seconds add up.

Probably something to do with ease of running away from enemies and PVP fights..

Running away from enemies is already piss easy with how short their leashes are, and in pvp they will just heavy you anyway.

There's no (good) reason for the delay to still be there.

I would like the cast time for mounts, searching around in MSQ, picking up items, using them, attuning to aetherytes and teleporting to be removed. Since I'm speed running and that's wasting my precious seconds. And don't forget skippable cutscenes, don't give me a loading time for that!
