I would say the OP here is against it in its entirety;
and many others, but I really haven’t been writing them down.
Why can’t the new system and the “water bug” co-exist? Why does it need to be “retired”? Every other “special function” mount is retaining it’s original functionality.
I think it would be kind of pointless to have both, and they’re already gong to send a freebie WW item to you if you earned the bug prior to 8.2.
What about new or returning players? They see everyone on a strider, ask “hey how can I get one of those?” and are told they have to go grind out 7+ yr old content? Do you think that is fair?
Because I make a conscious decision to…just not use it? I think you’re thinking in your head that that’d be some sort of witty “gotcha” moment, but it didn’t come out so well, I’m afraid.
