And players have been clamoring for more choice for years, with the caveat being believable choices:
Cloud Serpents hover so they can also water walk instead of sinking whenever they encounter a puddle.
Dreadwake, being a boat also floats when it’s not flying.
Winged Mounts can hover over water or get a glide ability instead.
Hippos and basilisks get full mount speed in the water.
HH’s mount and Invincible can water walk by default when not flying.
1000 times better than buying inflatable shoes for your Mammoth, Yak, or Brontosaurus!
Except there’s MoP Timewalking for current item level gear plus currency to purchase rep tokens to get the mount.
Yeah, because these should be custom options to existing races on the character creation screen added with the expansion purchase and not locked behind irrelevant content that will only get more irrelevant as more time passes.
