Even by your own admission, their purpose for destroying the water striders is because they are incapable of developing a new system that would prioritize you CHOOSING another mount. So instead, they control control control.
“You will play our game how we want, when we want, for as long as we allow.”
And you can’t figure out why players are constantly leaving?
This is it right here. This little gnome is wise beyond his years.
The answer is probably “control” and “gating”.
Just like bear tartare… They can nerf it, or maybe make it (mount equipment) unuseable until x.3 patch of every expansion.
Pretty disgusting but that’s probably the reason.
You know how they delayed flying this expac for a year? We’ll have you heard of what people recommend to others to make this bare able? Everybody was using the water strider … To make getting around faster.
Uncle blizz probably doesn’t like that.
Unfortunately, I think the only reason they did it is to control us in the future. Sad indeed.
They are retiring what was once a nice perk but has unfortunately developed into a life-altering crutch, and replacing it with a system that gives greater flexibility.
So you admit that these item where went bye-bye and changed in the past and so will this system in the future .That means this system can take away mount abilities that the blizz lords wants or add to the mount system going forward.
Because you clearly don’t understand how mount equipment works. You think you’re getting one equipment slot per mount, but you’re not. It’s one slot per character; whatever you pick, you’re stuck with it until you shell out gold to change it.
Funny, that seems to be the argument of the folks claiming the strider is so OP they’re forced to use it all the time, whether there’s water around or not.
Not if the purpose of the new system was to keep people from being “forced” to use the strider “all the time”, never to let the rest of their mounts see the light of day.
Can’t wait for the 25th to equip my shoes so as to fix Blizzard’s world. Can’t wait to see the return of weaving as this exacerbates mounted speed disparity.
Yeah. I hope the slot is buried in a tab on a window I never have to see once I finish plugging the hole they just created in world cohesion. All because they can’t leave one mount out of 500+ alone. gee-gee.
