That seems like a pretty big hassle to fix what is ultimately a convenience problem with move speed. In that sense it just replaces one frustration with another one.

I think there should just be a sprint toggle or something, where if you get into combat while sprinting it eats half of your initial AP or something to prevent people from running wildly in dangerous areas.

Or just increasing move speed in general and calling it a day. I'm perfectly happy with that too.
