This is just some casual criticism from a casual player. I played Wildstar twice using a visitor code back before free to play, and I was able to get back into the game again recently after a hiatus when the game went free to play. My highest level character is level 22 and consider myself pretty casual i guess.
 
During my time in Wildstar I enjoyed what it has to offer. I come from Guild Wars 2, as that has been my main game for the past few years. I can't say I was too glad to see Wildstar adopt a fast travel system, as to me having no fast travel meant the world and the roads meant a bit more. We got a boon for using roads, and there was taxis to get around. I think this was a great change of pace compared to Guild Wars 2's waypointing everywhere.
 
here is my dude in a taxi;
 
I liked this because it made the world feel more vast to me and made things like speed buffs very handy, and learning how to use the red flags (im an explorer).
 
And that brings me to my second disappointment. the introduction to unlimited sprint out of combat.
A minor change but i liked having a regular jog for my character and then sprinting or using buffs to speed up. Or even a mount.
 
Heres some video of me jogging around;

I don't know, maybe these are just very nitpicky.
 
I was also disappointed to find upon my return that Tamolo's Mask is EVERYWHERE. Not by name, but by skin. Back before free to play I made a video about Tamolo's mask. I thought it was awesome that one particular skin was only found at a single place (as far as i know). In a way it felt like a trophy from my explorations. I thought it felt different to Guild Wars 2 at least. I also got a serrated blade from the hycrest quest. It's these unique items that i really loved.

Anyway, I will end my posting there. Thank you..

i agree on the mask part, it seems a bit out of nowhere and i'm not exactly sure why we even bags that gives us free stuff just for leveling either.
 
But i like the other changes, it's just a quality of life type of addition, you can revert to using the old sprint system anytime anyway.

My only complaint is that the sprint animation being used all the time feels odd. Although I like the speed bonus, I don't like the actual sprint animation to be all the time.
 
I'd rather have the regular running animation, but moving as fast as sprinting :D
