The water strider EVOLVED

into not being able to carry people over water. LOL, is that the best stupid explanation you can give to remove their waterwalking ability? You should just leave it alone and not let it have a equipment slot. Stupid crap -.-

I chuckled. It “evolved” into forgetting something that is it’s core survival function.

I’d like to see the devs ‘evolve’ into beings that DONT break the first rule of engineering.
‘if it aint broke, don’t fix it’
(see the operative word in there, Ion & Co.? --DON’T–. thsats the word.
Embrace it)

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
yeah…whoever came up with that joke should be fired immediately.
That would be DEVOLVING, not EVOLVING

and yeah, they exempted the Sky Golem…they COULD have exempted the Strider.
But then that wouldnt work with their obvious plans to turn WWing into a grind in new expansions.

What’s the difference…the .2 second you need to equip the FREE equipment it comes with…

And its destroyed to my knowledge causing you to go buy a new one if you switch to one of the other options (like the daze mount slot).

ugh…you get it ONCE…and IF you change it you PAY FOR IT AGAIN if you want WWing back!

AND…you ONLY get it ‘free’ for characters 100+. WE DONT NEED it for characters who have FLIGHT. right?

I NEEDED it on the 20+ characters I JuST deleted 40 minutes ago who were UNDER 100 and DIDNT get the ‘free’ WWing gear.

exactly.
So blizzard just turned our ‘free’ WWing into yet ANOTHER stinking gold sink in an expansion where gold is much harder to gain than in Legion.

as part of their evolution, they can give me back the 100 coins i had to farm to buy the garrison WW mount. i will ignore all the stuff I needed to get Nat to the garrison and grind his rep again.

…and is making us pay out for something we had already earned.
this is not a good thing and will only lead to further such prac tices

What is important is that we point and laugh at everyone who is NOT on a water strider. Pshhh nooobs.

Exactly.
And the fans and white knights will still keep telling us all how great it is that blizzard TOOK yet one more thing from the game.

Guessing they wont figure it out till the games been stripped down enough for android :roll_eyes:

Yeah the “double jeopardy” of paying and grinding something over and over to get something that you already had, seems badly thought out.

dont forget that the item from the rep vendor is UNIQUE. which means you can only have one in your inventory at a time; and i dont remember seeing a mailbox anywhere near the Anglers. Is it still bind to account?

Edit^ just a second too slow.
Another thing I don’t think I’ve seen mentioned is that the water striders (item) is Unique (at least it was in the PTR when I checked, haven’t gotten to live yet). You can only have one in your bag. If you change you need to go back to Pandaria or buy the most likely overpriced one from the AH.

Yup. This exactly.

it is bind to account and unique.

Now someone explain why the item used doesn’t give you water walking mounts account wide, like the water striders did before. Like many things in the game, farming rep, gold items like coins was mitigated somewhat by it applying to all your characters.

Next we will have to do pathfinders on each character to have flying.

Wow seriously? It wasn’t supposed to be this way. You’re supposed to be able to send it to your level 20+ characters. Did they change that?
