Not sure why this hasn’t been suggested after all this time but the lag making your char remain on sprinting animation yet your speed is that of walking really is bothersome specially when travelling to far-off places or simply rushing somewhere considerably far.
I must say, I’ve had enough so please allow us to be able to toggle this feature so that we won’t have to deal with the pain of overtapping directional buttons just for the sake of sprinting towards our destination
