Even if it's not the most needed fix to this game....

I have always felt that runspeed progression in this game sucked.

IMO....
Ranking order for speeds should have been

Player Spells - Bard > Druid, even though I play a druid, I think that at max AA invested into run speed and level that a bard should atleast have 10% higher speed then a druid.

Mount Speeds- Since Dijinni Master's Prism we have seen mounts attached to stats, though usually at a cost(Investing Time into raiding, questing or status points)

Non-mount items- Earring of Solstice is the item I can think of, I really think it should be more like 45% or 50% instead of 55%, it's just plain to high incomparison to the work put into getting the item.

Target a nearby Player which is grouped with you and he will be your pet with 80% runspeed for 24h.

Due to run speed and portals, there are enough druids around as is. They oughta give 50% run speed to all characters below level 70.... it's a PITA to level as it is, let alone for those who can't transfer money to a new toon.

I think the way they approached runspeed was a break from MMO/EQ traditions and general lore, and could have been addressed better. Something like the following:

Desired runspeed breakdown (using T8 numbers as example):

Tier baseline: 45% (charged crafted items)
Druid/shaman (self only buff): 45-50%
Status mounts: 52-55% w/ average stats
Bards (group): 60% w/ minor stats
Fabled boss drop: 62-65% w/ impressive stats

And then scale it up from the tier baseline for future tiers...

It is 45%.

You get 55% when you stack it with jboots.

They should take all runspeed buffs out of the game and all mounts should be capped at 15%.
