Resorting to personal attacks isn’t an effective argument. You don’t even know me but you dug through my profile to dig up something to attack me with since you can’t refute any of my actual points. Bravo for that.
FYI, I’m an RPer - and I do happen to do a lot of WPvP because my roleplay is military in nature (it should be pretty obvious based on my guild name, transmog, and that I play on one of the largest RP realms). WPvP and griefing are not the same thing btw - you come off as completely ignorant when you take that clueless position.
To clarify - I choose not to use a Water Strider because of my RP. It is completely immersion-breaking for me to to ride my character around on a huge bug when there are perfectly good Kul Tiran chargers available. I like this change because now I can water walk on my Kul Tiran charger without carrying a bunch of water walking potions with me in order to get the same effect that I could have by simply riding an ugly water strider at the cost of my RP immersion. I had thought at the beginning of the expansion that it would have made sense for Kul Tiran blacksmiths to be able to craft Stormsteel hoofplates that would enable water walking - given the nautical nature of the island nation. This is close enough to that, so I’ll take it.
You can still enjoy your ugly bug - it’s just not mechanically superior anymore.
