Doesn’t matter they’re going to do it wither we like it or not. It would complete surprise me if they don’t. Go ahead Blizzard take your ugly mount ,take every meaningful aspect ,rep grind anyone has put into to mean nothing.I had it ,I’m moving on to another topic since this thread is wiping my faith.

It’s me again. Just came to see if the same folks were still upset. Yep, same few of you angry over this one solitary mount. I think if you guys let the feels about that one solitary mount go (the topic this thread is about) you’ll feel better. It’s just a strider and like I’ve said before, others will want it to slow fall or anti daze.
Yeah, I know, I know “It’s just ----” and then you’ll list other things, but this thread and topic is about one thing. A make believe mount in a video game. Why not let it go and focus on whatever you like about WoW instead, and if you don’t like anything about it, then why even play it, right? You’ll feel better letting it go or just walking away, trust me. Never logical or healthy to get upset over changes in life that are outside your own control.
Good advice. How about you take it yourself and stop fussing about other people expressing themselves.

It does when you put water walking boots on it.
It’s still a water strider, it’s made after similar looking bugs in real life literally called water striders…
DEFINITELY speculation. I think they already explained why they’re doing so with the water strider but I guess you missed it.
Goody, lets remove flying mounts passives and give them a lot of red bull for wings.
It isn’t a Water Strider if it can walk on water passively like how it was designed too.
But they’re not doing that…that’s a blatant straw man.
It can once you put mount equipment on it.
And yet, you gotta switch between mount equipments as well, and then also, the WW is unique, so you can only have 1 in the bags at a time.
I guess you haven’t been paying attention either.
Yup, that’s what they said…
I have, but your argument is “I should be able to have a special mount with water walking AND all my other mounts have separate mount equips”
A more logical point would be “Let every mount have its own mount equipment so my water strider can have water walking and my other mounts can have whatever else I want.”
So you agree with this action, that Blizzard should just remove all the hard work of players that had earn in the first place, just to be changed around and have it’s passive removed, for no real reason at all?
I am saying they should’ve left our Water Striders Alone.
Otherwise, lets remove Sky Golems passives,
and remove the vendors/transmog/auction house from Mammoths, Grand Expedition Yak and that giant Dinosaur.
And remove the flying passives from mounts that can fly
And replace it all with Mount Equipments.

It’s hyperbole, not a strawman.
And if you choose option, 2, 3, or 4… it doesn’t. and yet it’s still called a water strider.
Waiter: “Enjoy your burger ma’am”
Customer: “But you gave me the salad I ordered.”
Waiter: “You could have ordered a burger, so it’s fine to call it a burger.”
Customer: “Whaaa? That makes no sense.”
Waiter: “Would you like ketchup with your burger?”
Customer: “I’d like you to stop calling it a burger, because it’s a SALAD.”
Waiter: “Tsk, so touchy! Sorry, that’s against policy.”

They’re not. If you did that grind, you can unlock water walking for all your mounts easier than someone who didn’t do the grind.
Which is selfish. Instead of making a GOOD suggestion like “Hey, let’s let any mount have any mount equipment” so you and everyone can be happy, you’re selfishly saying “Hey I should be special and have water walking AND all my other mounts have whatever thing I choose”
One’s a good suggestion, the other is just selfish whining imo. If your goal is truly to have a water walking mount and other mount equipment, make better suggestions than “I did the work, everyone else shouldn’t get it! It’s not fair!” because that’s what your argument comes off as.
If that would make players happier, I guess that’s what they’ll have to do. You should make a suggestion thread about it.
Yeah, once after level 100. But hey, guess what, what about alts below level 100? And since those alts under level 100 can’t purchase, and you got to have the Reputation from the Anglers also to purchase it…
I am not about to grind a Mage from level 90 to 100 in painful overtuned zones so I can purchase mount equipment for my alts below level 100.
Oh right, leaving our Water Striders alone is a selfish act
SERIOUSLY!
You heard it here everyone. We can’t have a win/win situation, instead, it is always a win/lose situation.
Have you not read through this thread. Nobody is asking for mount equipments on the strider while it still has its water walking passive.
“Selfish Whining”. You disagree with my post, now you’re calling it selfish whining.

Technically, once you pick mount equipment you like (for everyone but DK and paladin it’ll be SPEED, or -maybe- no-daze), you won’t be swapping it out for specific situations.
Honestly, the strider is dead… anyone still playing after 8.2 should just get MoP Fishing(1) and an Angler’s Raft toy and use that from now on. It’s more awkward than a water strider, but you can us it in no-mount places which is nice.
At least until Blizzard decides to sink that too.
Which they will.
Because they’re rude.

I know you think this is clever, but it’s really not. Most mounts having names that don’t reflect what they do. Just looking at the top of my mount collection, I have an Acid Belcher, but it doesn’t belch acid, what’s up with that?
Bug report that! Should be part of the /mountspecial definitely!!! ![:smiley:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/smiley.png?v=6" ":smiley:")
That’d be pretty sweet!

Ah, so now you’re trying to undermine the people who DID play and DID grind the rep and saying It’s not fair? What? You should get a free pass because you quit playing? That’s up to you, bucko.
And that’s completely your choice, or you could suggest getting a free character boost ?
Well considering they’re revamping it and making it a whole system, uh…yeah. The whole purpose of the system was to make it so people weren’t forced to grind out a rep from some old crummy expansion to have a mount with water walking…
Yes, because you’re one of the few rare vocal minorities that grinded the rep on a character then quit playing it, everyone else should have to suffer and have it your way. Because tyranny of the minority is how this game should be ran, folks.
I know, they’re asking that they get a mount that ONLY has water walking AND be able to have all their other mounts access other mount equipment…which is literally the reason mount equipment was made, to get away from having to grind out ONE mount from an old crummy expansion to get water walking and so people don’t feel forced to use it for water walking…which they still would if we had it your way. ![:roll_eyes:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/roll_eyes.png?v=6" ":roll_eyes:")
Considering there’s WAY better suggestions than “I don’t wanna level 10 levels on a character I gave up on! So everyone else should have to suffer!” instead of a GOOD suggestion like “Let’s let every mount have it’s own mount equipment so I can continue to have water walking on my water strider like I want and be able to use mount equipment on other mounts!”
Drougen, seriously, how much does Blizzard pay you to kiss there ***. You want this system, and that’s fine. Nobody is saying to not bring in the mount equipment system.
What has been stated, by me, and a few others in this thread is to leave our Water Striders alone. Make it so it is also uneffected by the Mount Equipment system, same way as they have done it for the Sky Golem.
But no, according to you, that is a selfish act. Instead of a Win/Win situation, where something as the Water Striders doesn’t get there water walking passive removed and they get uneffected by the Mount Equipment system, same as the Sky Golem, you want a win/lose situation, where only those who like this change can be happy, while the rest of us gets a stick poked at our skeletons.

Some people are only happy if other people suffer.
