Boots - Make movement speed on boots implicit

I think since POE1 everyone needs movement speed and it is fundamental, who won't come with implicit movement speed that ranges based on item level/ required level?

something like this:
Implicit on boots lvl 1-30: 5-15 move speed
Implicit on boots lvl 30-78: 20-30 move speed
Implicit on boots lvl 78+: 35 move speed


I believe the gameplay experience will improve drastically this might counter the long distances users have to travel through areas and 1 more problem off their shoulder

Boots of a level where they CAN have movement speed but DON'T are worthless. No one uses them, no one trades them.

There is no other equipment slot which has a mandatory affix for all classes and builds.

Boots which don't have movespeed aren't an option under any realistic scenario.
Just get rid of the damn Movement Speed Affix and make characters move faster baseline. So you can actually do boss mechanics.
As it is right now it's just a mandatory stat on boots.
I had so many great boots dropped and crafted with top tier life and resistances and had to straight up vendor them because: No Movement Speed Affix = Unusable

Making Movement Speed an implicit is just a bandaid. It would be better than status quo, but it shouldn't be a thing in the first place imo.
Just make character's movement speed less atrocious and able to do boss mechanics baseline.
+1. yes please!

Agreed.

25% more at least
Would you say every physical weapon should have innate +%physical damage ?

Should every belt have +X charm slot ?

Should every chest piece and amulet have +X spirit ?

Should every shield have +% block chance ?

It seems to me almost everyone want those.

You're completely missing the point.
These stats INCREASE an item's usefulness (not even for every build btw).
Movement Speed on Boots is literally ALWAYS MANDATORY because you cannot do some Boss mechanics without it.

Are you sure about that ?
I'm sure I've seen movespeed elsewhere, so those other items and talent are also MANDATORY to just have the right to play the game ?
I guess people dodging, tanking and blocking quick hits don't play the game correctly.

How to tell me you have no clue without telling me you have no clue 🤣
Stay ignorant, it's bliss I hear 😁
