NPC walk speed vs Player walk speed

Blizzard, for god sakes please change player walk speed to be the same as NPC walk speed when doing an escort quest. There is absolutely no reason on Sargeras’s green earth that I should not be moving at the same speed as the person im walking next to. Its been 15 years and this is still an issue. Why have you not fixed this yet? and instead of taking the time to reply to me just fix it because I know it will take about the same amount of time. So friggin simple.
