Water Strider Discussion

[Blays-bloodhoof]

it is an advantage in warmode and in SoB and I’m sure there will be many more examples to come

Except, as you condescendingly pointed out, I do none of these things. Ready for more sarcasm, or is my unsarcastic obliteration of your inane chatter enough?

Or are you going to call me toxic for successfully arguing you out of ideas?

[Drug-bleeding-hollow]

everyone on this thread is arguing for that
if you kept the strider with no equipment slot you shouldn’t get an equipment slot on a single mount

The penny finally drops; farming in old content should not happen, according to you.
These things do happen; the early players have advantages and bragging right; the younglings can only look on in wonder and awe and ,hopefully, be inspired to knuckle down and go for it.
But it is not ‘unfair’ that those who have YEARS in this game have achieved more.
It is simply the nature of any progressive game, MMO or otherwise.
Decides to flip hair

I really don’t want to defend a pharmaceutical, but my level 120 dark iron warlock is labeled above my posts as a level 20 human mage. It’s just some bug, not a hack.

As we’re being told - there’s just too many of these dang bugs everywhere, lol.

Not that I often see them on any of the many realms I play on except when players are actually crossing large areas of water. The bug-infested Azeroth claim is hoo-ha made up to bait a nasty hook. And like any baited hook, people wont see the problem until they feel it, and then it’s too late.

[Drug-bleeding-hollow]

that’s fine if you don’t do any of those thing, the game isn’t tailored to people who rp all day it is tailored to endgame content

And there it is…

Wait. You just said that.

QFT then I guess.

flips hair like Elenedhel but loses balance and falls, knocking over a lamp, but then points at someone else like an idiot

[Brahmina-khadgar (Brahmina)]

also any newcomer or old player that didn’t have the mount would need to do old content

This is an argument that never makes sense to me. If you didn’t do the content to begin with then it isn’t “old content” to you.

And even if you did things like ICC (for example) when they were current does that mean you shouldn’t be able to go back week after week, year after year, trying to get that stupid mount to drop?

Doing “old content” is something a LOT of players enjoy, and most people recognize as a legitimate way to acquire rewards you may not have been able to get when the content was current. If you don’t want to do it, then it’s just like AOTC rewards: you don’t get to have it.

I didn’t farm the mount when I played in MoP I farmed bloody coins… Give water walking to a pvp mount and I’d be happy, otherwise we need to nerf yours in order to be balanced

[Elenedhel-moon-guard]

Understood and completely: even though my current profile shows I am currently attired in my FINEST DMF Nobleman outfit, the surrounding slots still have me fully armed and armored!
Machines; what can you say?
Flips hair

[Drug-bleeding-hollow]

invincible doesn’t grant water walking, the rewards you are talking about are cosmetic

[Elenedhel-moon-guard]

Still missing the point; deliberately I think.
And just because you decide certain things aren’t worth getting, in a current expansion, well that was your choice.
Welcome to the world.
Flips hair and sips tea.

Give water walking to a pvp mount

Except water walking mounts don’t water walk in PVP. Sooooooooooooooo…

[Drug-bleeding-hollow]

and to counter everyones point of nobody ever seeing these bug mounts everywhere; you do not have warmode on, you do not raid zuldazar sometimes multiple times a day which is a city RIGHT next to a very large body of water

[Brahmina-khadgar (Brahmina)]

invincible doesn’t grant water walking, the rewards you are talking about are cosmetic

So, freaking, what? You could have used potions with your precious PvP mounts and been water walking on them all this time anyway.

[Elenedhel-moon-guard]

Thank you for proving every point I’ve made.

[Drug-bleeding-hollow]

oh I understand your point

[Elenedhel-moon-guard]

Your choice.

[Blays-bloodhoof]

you do not raid zuldazar sometimes multiple times a day which is a city RIGHT next to a very large body of water

Well. The last two expansions are taking place on islands, so that’s not surprising.

[Truthspeaker-alleria (Truthspeaker)]

I didn’t farm the mount when I played in MoP I farmed bloody coins…

That was your choice. The consequence is that you don’t have a water walking mount. That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t have a water walking mount, though.

Give water walking to a pvp mount and I’d be happy

That’s an excellent suggestion! It’s a shame that no one in this 3500 post thread had the idea that Blizzard could just give water walking to a wider variety of mounts. Oh wait!

otherwise we need to nerf yours in order to be balanced

Guess what, my friend? The game will never be perfectly balanced. Nothing is perfectly balanced. Life isn’t perfectly balanced. Someone will always have something that you don’t. That’s the nature of life and of this type of game. Blizzard trying to perfectly balance the game is the cause of a lot of problems in the game, in my opinion. It’s okay for someone to have something that other people don’t.

[Drug-bleeding-hollow]

then will you be the one to give me an unlimited supply of said potions? or am I going to have to do more content that I don’t want to do just to waterwalk
