I am a pro flight once PF1 is achieved kind of guy. But that still does not mean I do not want to address ground travel in this game. RPG games usually handle travel by giving you interesting options for your horse travel. The most common one is the sprint that occurs when you click an action button for temporary 300% boost in speed. Other games also have leap, blink, mountain climbing and autopathing.
I wonder if Blizzard would ever add an action button for mount travel that would make us travel at 300% speed for 5 seconds on a 12 second cooldown. This would make ground travel a bit more engaging for me aside from click the auto run button and wait about a minute before clicking my mouse/keyboard again. Specifically for leveling in a new zone or for Old zones I never got pathfinder on (like WoD)
