I'm not sure what these paragraphs have to do with what I wrote. I didn't express any opinion on waypoints at all. A tad bit off topic, yes, but I think discussing other forms of travel should be okay.
1. I don't think their only purpose is getting somewhere faster. They could be used in rollplaying or just looking badass, among other things I'm sure.
2. That's not my arguement on any level. I never said or implied that we need mounts, that walking takes too long, or that waypoints are too fast. My arguement was for more choices, and against the conception that only things that are 'necessary' should be added to the game.
3. I disagree. See above.
Edit: spelling / grammar (still probably missed some)
