…not to mention a lot more sense, gamewise.
of course it would also have meant a lot motre work for Blizzard oh horrors

Not really.
It probably took more work to code edit both striders than it would have to put the same “not affected by mount equipment” code they used on the golem/swimmers.
(anyone look at the glider code? Guarantee they changed more than just the look. What new restrictions got slipped in?)

- Horde and Alliance Glider Kits now have a prideful new look.
Should check out some of the “fun” in the patch notes…
more than a few of the changes clearly are hiding other intents… this patch is a lit fuse…

I keep forgetting about the mount equipment, come up to water and think to my self meh have to use that fugly water strider, then after I dismount I remember I don’t.
Send me a link bro?
I tested on a variety of my alts. Toons 111+ got it for free, toons 90 and under didn’t. I have no toons between 91 and 110 to figure out where the cut off is, but it’s definitely NOT for free for all toons. It costs 40g per alt to restore the functionality we had YESTERDAY! For me that’s about 40 toons.

“Prideful”?
What the hell does that mean?
Do they now come complete with an “Ion” smirk?

Did they mess with the speed/duration of the glider?
Check out the artifact table… if you’re a neck grinder…
Still waiting to see the “undocumented changes”…

Nothing like getting subpar water walking as a replacement to something we already had for free on all characters.

Lol business logic
Water Strider and Barding allowed people to both water walk and be undazable at the same time. Not good for the micromanaged MAUs so they needed to prevent that make your choose either/or

Which is why a lot of people suggested making the strider unaffected by mount gear. They left the sky golem not effected by mount equipment, why could they not do the same with the Water Strider?

This is going to go down on the list of truly unanswered questions like, but not limited to,
“Why did you remove PVP vendors?”
“Why did you remove Kara and CoT portals?”
“Why did you remove the portal to Shrine?”
“Why did you feel the need to change legacy raid loot rules?”
“Why did you add 4 versions of tier armor, and WF/TF and then tell users that the system was confusing and warranted removal altogether?”
“Why did you not go back to talent trees?”
“Why haven’t you reverted classes to the versions that worked?”
“Why did you cut the reputation gains from WQ in half for BfA release?”
“Why do toons consistently receive off or NON-spec weapons and armor from world quests when you’ve already coded a loot-specialization option?”
"Why are both artifacts and tier armor, and their effects, labeled legacy items when you have to be 11 levels over the raid you’ve looted it from in order to receive “legacy loot”??
