I didnt see this in the forums and it didnt come up in search results.
So, another way in which you can have mount speed while running is to join an arena, when it is finished (and you muist be alive) mount up. Then you just leave the arena while still mounted. You can now run at mount speed.
Here are the steps exactly.
This may be common since, but i didnt learn it until just yesterday when another team quit. I jsut left still mounted.
- Join an arena
- Play the arena, and dont die
- Mount up before you leave the arena
- Leave the arena, while still mounted
