NPC walking speed

One question I have had for a long time is what is up with npc speed? They always walk between character walk and run speed. It doesn’t matter if it is an escort quest or just an “accompany me” thing. Is there some kind of technical reason for it or is it just another of the little ways that Blizzard devs like to make things annoying?

bwuahaha yes, it’s always a bit of a headscratcher. I think in the newest content they’ve gotten a bit better at matching your speed in some areas tho. Imo the best solve for this would be /follownpc If only it was a thing.
