Seems the maps are getting bigger and the dailies are getting longer, I was personally hoping for a speed increase in the legendary mounts but that wasn't the case. How about a 150% mount cryptic?? ^^
Even 130%...

Making large maps, without increasing mount speed, is a way of artificially increasing the time it takes to run quests. This is, IMO, a conscious and intentional decision on the devs' part. I don't see them adding an even higher tier of mounts - especially since we've gotten legendary mounts that retain the 110% speed rating.
On a somewhat related note, I'd like to see the refining system expanded to include < 110% mounts, as an alternative way to increase their speed - possibly with incremental speed increases as you level them, (so 30 "levels" from R1 to R2, each granting an additional +1% speed rating, for instance).

I thought some of the early complaints about the game, and its instanced nature, was how small and confining it felt. Now that they are finally creating some really large open zones like the Well of dragons, and Icewind Dale/Dwarven Valley. We suddenly want faster mounts to make them feel smaller again?

never felt like any of the maps in this game were small when levelling

completely agree but it would be a great money grab for them

Perhaps not to you. But all one needs to do, is to fire up the old way-back machine. To see that there was a significant number of complaints about this when the game first launched.
I have a different idea. Why not Give mounts special abilities?(Example used for mounts of epic quality and above) Like, all armored horse mounts can run through mobs without getting dismounted for, say 4 seconds? Would be awesome. Tiger mounts and similar mounts, like the heavy howler, can run faster for 4 seconds, cooldown of 1 or 2 minutes for special ability. I'd love to see this happen.
Edit: Or add an enchantment slot to mounts to have special enchantments on them, allowing these special abilities. The higher the quality of the enchantment, the more activation time and less cooldown on your mount special ability.

For the love of gawd no.
Don't give them any ideas....
..next thing you know we will all be grinding refinement hay with our new grain hoarder enchantments (soon to be nerfed) to get legendary artifact mounts.
If they do at least I hope it gets a cool bonus like 130% speed and a chance to spit out a notification of how much of a % of your life you wasted grinding it.

Now thats a great idea, something unique to each mount. They should have thought of that already. Oustanding idea!
If they were going to increase maximum speed of mounts they would have done it when they introduced the legendary mounts , in fact they got a lot of grief for not making the orange mounts faster , I doubt they will add anything faster any time soon.
A new displacer beast mount. You are stealthed while mounted, 80% speed bonus and your 1st attack on dismount benefits from stealth bonus on any class.
In reading these posts, I agree that we do NOT need mounts faster than 110%. I also agree with the idea that current mounts should have added abilities, based on type mentioned already (armored, agile, etc.).
IF a faster mount is introduced, and I hope not, the speed should be 140% (not 130% or 150%) as that follows the current +30% progression of the existing mounts (not counting rentals).

oh ya lets do this so then more people can complain about not being able to do the circle of dragons because their mount is too slow :rolleyes:
LOL! These days, I just smack each one a few times and move on to the next one because a lot of people are not working the rotation - found out the hard way once - was not even able to land one blow on the red dragon.

Ya i really hate that, and for some reason people just want to make waves and try to get everyone to do it a different way to save a couple seconds, resulting in more confusion and frustration.

its not even that stupid, it would be a good way to remove a good portion of excess gold from the game and make gold a worthy currency
O nvm to increase its virtual value to buy idk what.

And, let's face it, the only reason anyone wants a faster mount right now is so they can zerg those dragons more quickly.
LOL! You've got a point there!
