I agree. Default everything to skyriding but then let me change the ones I want for precision riding. When it was to be only a certain number of mounts it was a great idea, I had choice but they just did this change with little to no warning - unilateral decision making at its best. The switching between the styles adds time and that can effect the game. And before you go “it’s only seconds” stop and think how “only seconds” has hindered the game for other things in the past. Adding time, and a second action because you have to remount too, does not efficiency make.
At least they are listening to their customers with a lot of the changes. But they have the data for this, they know how many people switch between the two, skyriding and precision, and how it is used. Time matters, even seconds.
