It basically lets you use any mount in the game. Great work Blizz.
The Maw: You can only use one mount. All your other mounts are banished. Not great work Blizz.

Weird how they back tracked on their own concept.
Maybe they will add a silly mount equipment slot so you can call any mount.
Mount equipment would be awesome if it was per mount instead of making every freaking mount in my stable have exactly the same utility.

Should’ve been an exalted option for Ve’nari.

I’ve been thinking about this decision as well. I wonder if it was intentional and they plan to open it up later… of if they just have all new people working for them now and the idea was lost.
Mount equipment was a waste of dev time.
This.
I still maintain they should not have removed waterwalking from striders (if it was such a problem add another ww mount as a reward to current content).
If I were Blizzard I would’ve leaned in further to the mount family concept.
We still have underwater mounts that let you move faster in water (turtles, etc.). Let striders walk on water. Flight mounts get super speed (i.e. 380% vs. 100% w/ side bonus that now not all mounts w/o wings can inherently fly and look ridiculous). Ground mounts (not sure come up with something…maybe armored mounts have no daze, etc.).
Point is they had an opportunity to convert even more folks into mount collectors and turn it into it’s own mini game. Instead we have a new mount equipment system that I haven’t really touched since launch and at best gets re-evaluated once per expansion.
I agree fully that they did not go far enough. I wanted rocket boots, gliders, blinkers, charger/stunners, and some mount talents that let certain mounts fight with you in the open world. They could have done so much more than that also.
I actually forgot mount equipment existed.

Cant blame you for forgetting. Its a feature the devs only wanted so they dont have to water walk with the spider. Now that this is fixed they are working on all the other things they care about that does not involve player transportation.
Need to add mount equipment that lets you interact with things while mounted so we can compete with the druid bots w/o having to use the shredder mount all the time. I mean complaining about everyone using the strider was what got waterwalking changed to mount equipment wasn’t it?

I also hate the sound of that mount and this is what I am waiting for in terms of equipment. Buy the Sky Golem and unlock. Or add it to engineering
You shall never reach druid levels of gathering!
ALWAYS use the anti-daze mount equipment on your alts until flying is here. It makes traveling around so much easier.
It’s the only one I find worthwhile 
But then they’d also have to add another faction to the maw to grind rep before you can purchase that equipment (time gated of course).
Need equipment that lets you herb while mounted. No I don’t care about that ugly flippin’ Mecha mount, I hate seeing it.

And this is where people need to start accepting that Blizzard rarely means what they say.
This is Blizzard standard procedure:
Unpopular course of action with the primary goal of A, it also has secondary repercussions such as B, C and D. The Devs and PR people decide which of reasons for the course of action is the most PR friendly and they just pretend like that’s their main goal.
From there on, the secondary repercussion is named as their main goal and the primary goal (A) is just a happy accident.

I’d rather they add the Stirrups back into the game since they stacked with the barding for daze free farming. (They also let you herb/mine while flying so it was even better than the shredder/druids once flying was released)
They can do whatever they want, as long as it means I see less of that stupid shredder.
