    At this point, what even is the point of this in a passive that can be earned by literally traveling to a zone and talking to an NPC.

    Just make Major Gallop speed boost the base mount speed across the board.

    There might be some people who don't want the speed buff for whatever reason.

    As a passive it's still optional, just don't put a skill point in it.

    Well, you still have to get assault rank 3, while it has been level 1 for years. The main difference is that it won't get stuck on your bar anymore when you enter combat at the wrong moment (as could happen with assist rapid riding/fast ride).

    Though I agree with you that the difference between it being a passive and just an universal buff is marginal.

    Wakes up...looks interested.
    So they raised the floor and lowered the ceiling. Except the ceiling has spikes in it now and the floor is also lava.

    It also means that PvE will have to get Major Gallop from some other source. Adept Rider? Lolol

    Nothing's changed in that regard. At first, we could get it with Rapids at Assault rank 2 (iirc). Then, they changed it to Assault rank 5. Now, it's Assault rank 3, which all my alts have!

    And, now there's an option to craft Adept Rider if you don't want to do any PvP. But, really, just going into Cyro at level 10 and doing the tutorial gets you to rank 2. You possibly could get rank 3 or pretty close during the event with the double AP. And then, just collect the free AP from daily log in and you can get there without doing any actual PvP.

    Heck, I got to rank 6 in Assault on my main just by the tutorial (but back when the AP rewarded was really low) and then just doing town dailies during MYM and daily log-in rewards.
