So I was running to a quest entrance the other day, and then I got in the quest, and I kept thinking "Jeez, even with 30% striding, I sure run slowly." So it occurred to me that something that would help speed up the grind, thus allowing us to grind more, would be Striding Shrines for guild ship buffs. Say +5%, +10%, and +15%, stacking with existing striding items. Imagine how much more I could grind with that kind of speed boost!!!!
Think about it.
