[Suggestion]Increase Speed of 50% Mounts

[saupreusse]

All 50% speed mounts should have their bonus increased to 60% so lowbies aren't artificially punished by not being able to keep up with their leaders or run away from enemies. They have it hard enough already.

While we're at it we could also increase the movement speed bonus of the tier 1 mounts to 40% , because they are horribly slow atm.

+1 from me.

Yeah, throwing lowbies in the same lake as rr80s and also making them slower is just sadistic.

[Karkkass]

+1 totally agree with the +40/+60% speed.

[Culexus]

100% agree. If lvl16+ are in the same lakes as higher level players, they should have the same mount speed as higher level players.

Different mount speeds only make sense when the lakes are split into different tiers and everyone in the tier is the same speed. As that isn't the case, there is no purpose in having low-level characters be slower than their warbands just because they're low-level.

A needless artifact from Live.
I know that it might take a lot of manual effort to readjust every single lvl 16 Mount, but there is no reason for midtier players to suffer for what probably made a lot more sense back when T2 and T3 where their own places.

What probably was an old RPG progression step now only serves to bother new players for no good reason. And it's not like you cannot already obtain 60% movement speed mounts in T2 if an event happens to be giving one at the time.

+1 to the proposal, and would recommend that the low lvl16 mount price is kept, but maybe at the cost of slightly increasing the dismount chance by a bit (e.g. from 75% to 80%). Alternatively, you can slightly raise the price (e.g. from 10 gold to 20 gold)
