<p>You do realize the is +200 to all resists (Heat, Cold, Divine, Mental, Magic, Poision, Diesase), right?</p>

So you'd love to own a nightmare, if it was cheaper, gave you more benefits, and was faster. Sounds like a winner of an idea there.

Not only does 200 resists make practically no difference in any fight whatsoever, once you die in most raid zones you're unable to recast the mount for the buff again.  And for the raid zones where you can use a mount, the fact that you move backwards at a snails pace makes it more of a hassle to use than it actually helps. (Try tanking Wuoshi with your mount, that'd be fun!) And if you're planning on using it for outdoor zones, I've never seen a solo mob where 200 resists made a difference ever. They need to: 1. Give Qeynosians a cool looking mount like Freeportians have.  The Mistrunner just looks um... horrible. 2. Nerf Wargs and GL60 mounts.  I never understood why the GL60 ones were cheaper than 40 ones anyway.  I say lower Warg run speed and make GL60 mounts ~25p. 3. Give actual useful effects on mounts and allow at least the buff, without the run speed, to be cast indoors.

Nightmares and Mist Runners are 48%. Close...but not the same speed.

[Snowdonia]

Aren't Nightmares GL40 and not GL50? Last I looked at the blue flame one in Neriak I'm sure it said 40.

[Zeuhl]

Yes they are GL40. Not 50

<p>The quested carpet was always 40 percent.  And the status carpet was always 48 percent.  Then when the war barded 50 percent horse came out, I got that.  But now I have a Fitzpitzles Hover Platform which is 48 percent speed and +6 to focus and defense.  IMO the best mount i have been able to get thus far.</p>

[Finora]

When DOF first came out the % on the carpet was around the % of my sow + j-boots. I think it was changed very quickly (or maybe it was the lower percentage in beta and I was confused on the timing) but at one point it was lower than it is currently.
