Has this option been considered? That might be too fast, I don't know. Even 200% or something.

I understand it would take a big overhaul to make flying mounts feasible in Azeroth, but introducing a super sonic land mount I wouldn't think would be much of an ordeal to implement. Has there ever been any mention of super fast mounts in any of the lore? Not that it would matter, just curious. Heck, you could even introduce a trinket that increases land mount speed by x%. That just wouldn't be as neat as a new "turbocharged" mount.

At 300% I'm pretty sure I would traverse Azeroth via the "Pinball from tree to tree" method.

A mount would break its legs if it was moving that fast...lol

I dont think the world would load that fast. It would just be a blur.

Honestly, this goes back to the idea of faster travel minimizing the feel of the world having distance. We get that people want to get places as fast as possible and have continued to make improvements on flight paths as well as offering many different means of transportation. It's not about whether it can be implemented or not, but about how we want the world to feel.

I think it would be a bad idea to allow greater than %100 mounts. Lowbies need resources to train their trades while they level. It's already hard enough for them to contend with 100% mounts, it would be near impossible against 200%.

Don't tell me nobody farms those anymore, because it's not true. Compound with that how much easier it would be, more people we go back to farm there. And not every lowbie is a twink/alt. Everyone doesn't have the resources.

Plus, leave Azeroth to the lowbies. You don't need to go there much, beyond the capital cities, anyways. And that's covered with portals.

If you want to get to places quickly, roll a mage.

What if I'm in Sithilus and the game lags? I'd be in the middle of Darnassus!

Yes please make 300% land mounts so I can gank lower levels even faster than I already do!

Or just set your hearth to Shatt and pretend you're a mage once an hour.
