Everyone knows the scene, you go to stormwind, orgrimmar, Boralus or any of the questing hubs and right in front of the Aucion houses, mailboxes and or quest turn ins you see hordes of people on these ugly mounts. No one uses these mounts because they want to, they use them because they are forced to. The mount equipment system coming in 8.2 give use the excellent chance to stop the over use of this one mount and to give players freedom and choice by removing this mount’s innate ability and allowing players to purchase equipment to give all their mounts this ability. If we don’t it will only lead to it’s over use even more and it’s over poweredness by allow players to essentially ‘double dip’ by having the mount not only have a transmog and vendor but waterwalking or slow fall.
Blizzard can I PLEASE get my down vote button back… I’ll make you cookies…
So full of salt, get over it already.
Short answer: no.
Long answer: nooooo.
Human Paladin confirmed.
Nice try but no.
Nice try bitter water spider user
+10 to Exposing Blizzard inconsistencies.
It’s not an inconsistency though. The vendor mounts aren’t overused so extremely like the water strider is.
GD: we need to nerf this one mount that’s over used
Also GD: please don’t nerf this mount that’s over used

But it is, I see far more yaks in the major cities than I ever see striders
Please link all the posts of people complaining that they’re forced to use the yak mount.
The one you’re in :^)
I dont ever see people riding around place to place on the yak, the strider tho…
Also male human paladin thread.
I have this mount and forget I even have it. Always looking for vendors and transmog NPC, using other players mounts. I really need to setup a shortcut for this mount.
Equip the water walking equipment. Nothing for you has to change, you just want to whine and complain that other people actually get choices now.
How do you tolerate this kind of behavior constantly? It’d be enough to make want to switch factions.
And we can give them even more choice by removing over ability this over used mount has and adding it back in as equipment :^)
Stop this madness!
My poor floofy yak doesn’t need this!
