50% would be well worth 10p and a quest, especially considering the cheapest I can get at that speed is 14p normally, and plat is hard to come by when you don't farm.

As much as I'd love 50% runspeed ... I think thats a bit much unless the quests are rough, otherwise I think 45% or 48% is fine, since the highest mount currently is 50% no?

52% is the highest.

This is where I don't exactly see eye to eye with Sony. The quested mount should be the horse, and the guild level 60 reward should have been the unique mount.

I agree, 45%, 48% tops. 50% is just too much. Everyone is going to running around on one.

Thats practically already the case, all the mains on the 50% horses, all the alts on carpets.

Even if it was 25% everyone would buy it and use it for a day, then sell it back, but making it useless and less than the current best makes it not worth the cost. The carpet is free pending the quest, and thats why everyone's alt uses one. Getting a guild to 60 is not a skill based task, and all will get there eventually if not already. The 10 plat again takes no skill, or the plat farmers wouldn't be so efficient.

No point complaining that something new is better than something old as thats the way it should be. (Although that batman returns movie pissed me off that he had better toys than the other batman movies)

Anyway, you can buy your way to a level 60 guild and 50% horse, and you can buy your way to a 50% warg if it comes to live as is. You can get a refund on your horse at the merchant already, the glue factory gladly pays, and use that to buy the warg. Or you can buy both. Options are a good thing, and we need more of them.

I wonder what the community would say if they put a flying mount in but only gave it 20%... 2:1 there isnt a single thank you

No it's not lol

45%, 48%, 50%. Do you folks really see a difference between these rates in game? If I'm riding a 48% horse and leave a spot the same time as someone on a quest carpet, I will gradually pull away from them, and that is with an 8% difference in speed. I can't imagine the 2-5% differences we are discussing here having a noticeable impact in the game, unless you like racing others across Feerrott.

I don't see why out-of-combat speed is considered such a precious thing by the developers. Give the bards their blazing speed (say 100% at top level and AAs) and have more room for variation in mount speeds than this. I'm guessing that speed means more on a PvP server, but they run under a different ruleset than the PvE servers, so make special allowances for them.

I agree - nobody is going to pass anyone running across a zone at a 2 percent speed difference lol.

Would it really be game breaking to put in 60% run speed mounts?

If that quested Worg goes in at 50, I guarantee the EQ2 forums guild lobby will go postal. They worked hard to get level 60, and the only thing many of them cared about were the 50 speed mounts. Now, any nub with 10p can get a cooler looking mount with the same speed. To non-raiding guilds who worked to make level 60, that 50 run speed mount is the holy grail, it's like how the guy in Office Space felt about his stapler.

They either need to make the top level guild mounts faster, or give them the exotic cool factor instead of the quested one. Otherwise, it is a waste of time leveling a guild to cap in EQ2.
