Title pretty much says it all. I am so flipping tired of having to sprint on my flipping mount. Please just let mounts serve the purpose of getting you places faster with less work. Base mount speed MUST be increased.
 
My pinky finger will thank you.

			Are you saying you don't love incredibly slow mounts?That just doesn't make sense!	
----
			Chua confused, where Human have to be so fast ingame?

The pinkie finger fatigue is real.
 
Sprinting in this game is annoying and I don't like it. Having an actual mount that was actually fast enough to remove sprinting would help. Or maybe have a Sprint that didn't require me to hold a button down.	
----
			
But then timing super long double jumps wouldn't be so challenging.
 
Hardcore.
 
*snicker*
 
(in other words they don't want you going that fast all the time, but they do want you to be able to clear some insane gaps)
 
And reeeeeeally, are you allowed to complain before you've sunk 80 platinum out of the game buying the final speed license?

			Mixed feelings on this.  For general travel time, sure ... would love no sprint button pushing for mounts. But, there are instances to reach certain areas that actually are easier while mounted but, they do still require you to control your speed.  Maybe a "toggle" for "unlimited sprint when NOT jumping" as a compromise?

			It makes it rather less necessary ^_^. Apologies if on this one occasion readers could not hear the dripping of my sarcasm.

			I used to have that problem, especially in large zones such as Wilderrun or northern Malgrave. Then I got my hands on a pair of sprinter boots which allow you to sprint 20% longer and 15% faster. That helped a lot with long travels when a taxi is not available.

I made a post about this in beta and people white-knighted it down.
 
I personally have a keyboard macro that sprints for me when I am mounted, because f*** this design.

I think I read somewhere there will be changes to the speed of mounts eventually but I didn't keep any links of it.
 
Finger pain is a challenge for gamers in general. In the meantime, this tip with the tennis ball might help:
 
Exercises for Strengthening Your Little Finger

			Oh snap! Hanon finger exercises weren't useless after all.

While my heart is telling me I really want sprinting to not exist on mounts and for base mount speed to be adjusted to the current sprinting on a mount speed, my brain is telling me that would break a lot of platforming elements.
 
At the very least there really should be an option to change from holding down sprint to toggling sprint on/off.

			Because pressing buttons is so hard, isnt it?

			I like being able to sprint... love it, in fact. That may have something to do with the expert riding skill though. :D You hit that sprint button and just watch people vanish behind you lol. Base mount speed is super slow... that's why you upgrade from base. I know, I know, a lot of you are going to whine that you have to put time and effort into upgrading your character... How dare Carbine make you actually play their game before reaping the rewards!

I actually like it really...
 
I feel like I can Rev up my cycle or put the spurs to my Velocirex. I do wish though that it was expanded upon and we had like the old hoverboard physics and such for all mounts.
 
Also for the love of god can puddles not dismount me on a raptor...

I like the sprint function in general, but I agree that I think mounts could be a bit faster.
 
I'd even be willing to trade lower mount health or a 2-hit auto-dismount for a speed increase.
