Yes, i mean doing the dragonriding mechanics. From what i've seen on videos, if you just... "glide" dragonriding is extremely slow, so the "base" speed (if you mount from the lowest point of the map, i mean) is slower than regular flying mounts. Or am i wrong?
Because it seems weird to me that, at least until you unlock enough perks, you have to go to a high altitude to be faster than what we are currently.
