Just let Sky Golem use Mount Equipment and add mounted herbing to options

Please can you guys just do this one tiny thing?

Let Sky Golem use Mount Equipment, with a disclaimer that all benefits to Herbalism will be disabled.

Then take the Herbalism benefits of Sky Golem and just add them to the list of Mount Equipment. There, everyone is happy now!

If you bought the thing for Herbalism…well yay! Your Mount Equipment is built in. Plus if you’re a DK or Sham, yay again cause you can still walk on water. If you simply like using Mech Suits on all toons and Sky Golem JUST HAPPENS to match your Hunter’s look best, you’re no longer forced into dedicating your life to the tedious skill of grabbing flowers and jerking them out of the ground.

Why is there always this “only if” mentality.

I worked for Cloud Serpent flying so I wouldn’t have to purchase MoP flying. Well not only did they remove it at the end of xpac but they let everyone else use Cloud Serpents and I got stripped of my ability to fly in Pandaria on multiple toons that grinded the rep.

Then I had to go back and purchase Pandaria Flying on all of them.

Then WoD comes out right after and they gave the Pandaria Flying away for free!

You’re coming to me about a WATER STRIDER?!!

By elixirs of water walking if you want. There are profession items that let you do all the mount equipment stuff. Yes even gathering while mounted on all mounts. Pay them ur gold!

I will be honest, I would love to see mount equipment expanded and would not mind if they added seperate Mining and Herbing mount equipment.

Honestly, in general, I would love to see more mount equipment.

Monel-hardened stirrups last an hour and allows you to farm herbs and ore while mounted, on any mount. Just for BfA. Very handy to have for a gatherer. I have never understood why the Sky Golem only allows a player to pluck herbs.

No, i just spent 70k on this mount and like my other mounts and the equipment choices i can have on them better. Im not spending 70k again just to have it a fashion choice. If you want to fly it for fashion, guess what? You already can.

How about no?

The primary purpose of the Sky Golem was to be able to herb while mounted. It, and the Mechanized Lumber Extractor, have that special ability.

I don’t really get why anyone would use either of these mounts for any other reason. Their flight style is jarring and annoying and frequently makes me dizzy as they switch and twirl around. I use them only for their herbing ability. That’s like asking that Hunters have pets removed because you don’t happen to like taming pets but like the look of using a bow!

Use another mount!

Probably just you.

I dislike mount equipment - not so much for the idea but for how it is implemented.

If you apply water walking to a mount, all of your mounts for that character revert to that ability. So tough luck if you’d like one to have that ability (as the Strider did) while others make use of the other options.

I’d like to just see the existing stirrups made into mount equipment, with their full functionality intact; it’s the one thing that might make me give up my water walking equipment.

12

Yes. Because it goes along with your subject. Mists flying doesn’t.

I would like to see it burn in a fire and I’d like to see mount classes instead.

How do you survive in life?

You might want to think about not being so hostile simply because someone doesn’t agree with you.

That was “hostile”?

No, their tone was hostile.

I’d ask the same question to you but then you’d probably have to find an even deeper hole to hide out in.

16

No… it was their opinion stated bluntly. They didn’t insult you.

But you did insult them.

LOL what? Was that some attempt to insult me, too?

17

They need to do this! Then they could make mining, skinning, fishing, and surveying (arch) ones too.

A fishing mount or equipment would be interesting. Like if it allowed you to do the vacuum fishing out in Mechagon.

Actually I said keep it there BUT disable it with the use of mount equipment. Too bad that 70K can’t buy a longer attention span.

It wasn’t an insult. I’m generally curious as to how somebody can survive in the real world if they get dizzy just by the animations of a mount. A mount in a game they spend a lot of time gazing upon.

It’s a legitimate question. Not everything has to be taken as some terrible insult.

Sorry I don’t conduct myself like your typical WoW player. Again…some of us are grown adults who pay bills, drive cars, and spend more time socializing in public than in a video game and some us speak just as we would in a humon on human interaction.

When I communicate on these forums, it’s going to come off differently than somebody who never goes outside and is afraid of loud noises and human (real human, not the WoW Race) interaction.

I’m not pointing fingers at anybody either. I’m just stating the simple fact that I’m used to expressing emotions through my voice and body language when I talk. When I type, I’m typing as if I’m physically saying these things.

Back to my original point. Not everybody spends more time conversing in a game than reality and not every problem is solved via downing bosses.

NOT EVERYONE JUST TYPES WORDS AS IF THEY’RE PURELY WORDS AND NOTHING MORE!!!

My tone of voice and body language is a much better indicator of how I feel about something than my words.

Go to the bank, the grocery store, the DMV, your neighbor’s house…I really truly do not care where. Just go somewhere! Just go somewhere, or even multiple places and speak to at least five different people face to face.

Once you’ve done all of that, then come back and tell me that I insulted this Panda avatar in such a terrible way.

Agreed. Or make families of mounts that can have different mount equipment. Instead of 400 mounts with only 1, 100 with 4 different, as an example.
