If you cannot be bothered to spend 5 minutes at the intro of a zone to get the item… ![:roll_eyes:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/roll_eyes.png?v=6" ":roll_eyes:")
The laziness that the water-strider engendered for people like that/you, all the better that it has been nerfed.
dingdingding She gets it!
Why? So you can just counter that by saying that water walking is a new thing and therefore old world zones are of course playable without water walking like you (or possibly someone else) did when someone mentioned Thousand Needles?
FWIW, I dislike using the provided boat in Thousand Needles. I can’t zoom out far enough to have as much visibility around it as I like and find maneuvering it cumbersome, so I prefer to use a water walking mount.
Water walking is a quality of life convenience, yes. No, it technically isn’t absolutely necessary to use in any zone, even BfA zones, for that matter. The game is, of course, playable without any form of water walking at all. The point is that many people enjoy the convenience of having it for leveling characters. Now that convenience is being made a bit less convenient. Any wonder why some folks aren’t in favor of this new system?

This guy is a troll. I frequently use this mount under 60 and even in new zones like Nazmir and Zuldazar.

Take your advice…stop breaking forum rules with your personal attacks.
Sorry if we dont all play the game exactly like you do.

That handy bridge, bro. 
I use(d) the stider as my main mount for ALL of my sub 60 characters. All ~40 of them.
Of course he’s trolling.
Doesnt matter what asinine crap Blizzard pulls, he’s in here arguing for it.

I have encountered this troll in the past. He always tries to devalue a players reasons for not liking a change.

Theres probably an explanation why anyone would continually troll threads on topics he claims doesnt affect his game.
He’s one of those white knights that supports everything they want to do.

Id get used to that. He does it a lot.
Because they’re generally rather short-sighted, honestly. Buy a few water-shoes, pass em around to alts, it’ll be like nothing ever changed.
The rest of us (sane) players will enjoy a new system where any mount can WW.
Some people just can’t have a complete day until there’s 18 things Blizzard did bad to complain about.

Mount Equipment is account wide at level 20, so why are lower levels a factor here?
Because every time you want your mount to do something else you have to change the gem again and again…

some people just troll forum topics because they can.

What you call short sighted, I call people who can see the forest and the trees. It’s the principle of the matter. If Blizzard knows they can take an inch, they’ll do that until they’ve actually taken a mile.
I’m mixing metaphors, but that’s my concern and why, even though I hate the water strider and would ordinarily like to be able to use another mount as my water walking mount, I’m not in favor of the way this is being implemented. I don’t believe the reason Blizzard gave us for it, and I’m waiting to see when the next shoe is going to drop. Experience in this game has taught me that it’s just a matter of time.
I’d rather protest this system and advocate for a system that doesn’t require anyone to give up anything, a system that actually adds content to the game without any strings attached instead of taking something away first.

Mount equipment can be purchased as a BoA item and sent to any alts level 20 or higher. That’s not the same as being account wide.

I wonder if they will gate this in future expansions like they did with flight…
