It is not that I dislike exploring (actually, I love it), but when there is somewhere I need to be, and the only means of getting there, is by walking, it gets annoying over time.
As an example, I will take the walk through Gendarran Fields to get to the Vigil Keep. I must do this all the time, and the only AG is that weird one at the top.. If there could be an Asura Gate from Lion’s Arch to every important location on the world map, instead of just to the capital cities, that’d be great!
How many hours haven’t I spent jogging my way through Field Of Ruin or Plains Of Ashford, just to reach Blazeridge Steppes?
Alternatively, as suggested in the topic title, what about adding ridable mounts (that run fast!), available for all races and professions! It could be as easy to give the ranger pets and necro minions an additional function – The player would, when the mount/pet gets killed, just wait for the summoning skill to recharge.
I know that this is a good idea, so even if Anet doesn’t see this, please, fellow guild warriors – Repost this!
Thanks in advance!
