Are we still on about this?.. geez, get over it!
For the amount of speed and QoL rapids (apparently) gives, it should be earned. Level 5 doesn't take long, and I'm a non-PvPer!
PS: In my opinion they should put Rapids even higher. New characters shouldn't have uber speed, this is what horsetraining is for.

This would totally negate having to level your mount. I don't think they are going to do that.
So giving it at level 10 when you likely only have a handful of mount levels trained is all good, but giving it right away negates the entire thing? I'm not understanding the logic of your well thought out counterargument.
You do realize that mount speed stacks with rapids, right?
A lot of people got rapids for mules, crafters, gatherers, and never trained their mount speed up. If these people don't level their mount speed, and more and more follow suit (because everyone has rapids at level 1 with no effort at all) it soon loses its purpose.
They want leveling your character and your mounts to take time. It keeps you in the game longer.

I've never used Rapids, but isn't it a group buff?

If anyone in the group uses the ability, all the players in a certain range (not to far from the caster) will get the buff.
"Mobilize your forces, granting Major and Minor Expedition to you and your group, increasing your Movement Speed by 30% and 10% respectively, for 8 seconds. You and your group also gain Major Gallop, increasing your Mounted Speed by 30% for 30 seconds"
Yes. The way this works is: Group assembles outside keep. One or more people activate rapids to buff the group. Group takes off. Slower mounts start lagging behind. Rapids runs out. Group is rebuffed, but the people that had slower horses are out of range for it, unless someone purposefully stays behind to buff them again.

I remember when rapids just buffed anyone close to you. It was very easy to buff other players as you rode by them.
Which is probably also why we have so many "I never see anyone using rapids" posts. If it still buffed everyone around you regardless of group, you'd realize how many people use it.
If you want to PVE on stamina you need vigor, but don't really need rapids.
If you want to PVP you'll unlock rapids soon enough anyway. Definitely sooner than PVE-er who never even wanted to PVP would unlock vigor before.

No you did not need Vigor, many posters have already attested to that. Plus just use a resto staff then until you can get it. Really no diff execpt noe rapids takes it's place and ther eis no real solution to it other than grinding it.

Also didn't find where someone said that one doesn't need vigor, would you kindly throw a link to a comment or two?

If you did not see the multiple comments about vigor not being needed in these threads I am not going to do your work for you. I have seen both those saying it is needed and those saying it is not. I am of the opinion it is not needed as much as most who want it say it is.
As for resto yes, I know it is magicka, so? It heals not much different than magika users relying on sta to run, use to be horrible but magika users lived with it then.

Ah, you meant all those threads. Nope, going to take your word on that, then.
As for resto, I'm concerned with giving up back bar weapon for a heal even more than with the quality of that heal.

Yes it is. That is a very good point. You will benefit from someone in the group using the skill as much as you would if you used it yourself.

why dont the mag users just have a supply of speed pots to run fast? Actually that would be less disruptive than giving up an entire bar for healing, as opposed to a single slot (vigor)

I have 12 toons, all of them have Alliance War high enough to get rapids at it's new level.
Not a single one of them has it slotted. It is a waste of a skill slot as far as I'm concerned. You don't need it in PvE and if you are in a group in Cyrodiil then someone else will have it, if not I'll still get there.

Why don't sta users have an endless supply of heal potions available? Seriously the issue is not about consumables and consumables are not the answer, otherwise my statement about heal pots would have been a reason not to even change things to begin with.
The same reason heal posts were not the answer to Vigor is the same reason sped pots are not the answer to rapids.

And again no one is taking anything away from you. I see no reason why Vigor needed changed, I have 4 sta toons and NONE of them use it. I also do not tell others how to enjoy a game..
Rapids being made a little easier to obtain impacts no one negatively. I am amazed at how many just want to make others NOT enjoy the game because their opinion is different. Especially given the proposed changes have 0 impact on anyone who does not use rapids.

The same reason heal posts were not the answer to Vigor is the same reason sped pots are not the answer to rapids.
My point was that giving up a backbar weapon is unfeasible esp when there is a single slot skill that will do the job. Stam players nerfing themselves is not reasonable suggestion.
It was a complete logical choice to make this change.
Vigor is a requirement for Builds and is a must have for some characters. Rapid on the other hand is just convenience. You will not get issues making a build just because you dont have Rapid.
What ppl have to realize is that this change aims for newer players and PvE players that had issues getting the skill and now have an easier time getting it.
The forums are mostly populated by senior players and for them the change is mostly inconvenient. They end up with more characters using rapid than they use Vigor on so it is more convenient to farm AP on some for Vigor than it is to farm AP on all for Rapid.
Now we have this "discussion" going on where ppl spinning their little theories and made up their minds already and realy wonder why the Devs dont say anything about it because it would just be a waste of time.
