Exactly. I don’t look for what new awesome things are being added anymore, I look for “What’s being nerfed? What’s being taken? What can possibly turn around and bite us all later?”

Exactly. Most of the stuff that they add I tend to be either indifferent about or upset abot these days. If there is something that sounds good on the surface (add mount equipment to your mounts!), there’s always a catch that corrupts the whole change (nerfs to the water strider). In the end I’m less interested in WoW than I was before the water strider nerf was announced. This is just the latest in a long string of bad decisions that leave the game worse than it was before.

I had decided to let my sub run out after the portals debacle, but then they said we will get CoT back… still waiting btw. So I bought one more token to wait it out. But now this. I am seriously just done at this point. They want us to grind for things just to take them away. I’m not a hamster running in their wheel.

It seems like Ion is hell bent on trying to get new players. Even Hazel came out with a video yesterday saying it’s not fair for new players to go back to MoP to get a water walking mount. o0 I mean seriously, it takes ONE day to get your rep during the MoP time walking. And by that logic, I should be able to farm Invincible in actual content and not have to go back to WotLK, right?
I hated the MoP dailies with a passion. Yet, I went and did my grinding for the water strider. I actually like that little bug. I use it most of the time cause I hate massive mounts if I’m not flying. But now, Ion has decided that we are supposed to limit our time on one mount??? So what if I want to ride my water strider all day long? That’s not a good reason to break it. I don’t want mount equipments to affect my water strider. Just treat it like the Sky Golem and LEAVE IT ALONE!
Like they say in France “Un tiens vaut mieux que deux tu auras” (one “I have” is better than two “I might have”). He’s gambling the veteran players who have spent a lot of money on this game for a probability of getting a few new players. This is a terrible move. Just being Greg back. I’m sorry I ever criticized him.

you can obtain the strider 10 levels before you’re able to unlock equipment slots.
returning players from mop, will not be able to use their striders to walk on water.

yeah…that was one of the asinine details that really just put me over the edge on never coming back to this game.
They cant possibly have sit down and thought this thru and made any semblance of reasonable sense of their decision on this one.
sometimes I think they have a 4 year old with a dart throwing it at a board of ‘bad ideas’ to come up with this crap.

Same here. the strider was my main mount on every character, even ones with flight since I aint running pathfinder ever.
I did love the dailies to get the strider, but thats likely because MoP is the only part of WoW that I really enjoyed.
And then they had to go and pointlessly screw with my temple portals…and I hated them for it.

Both so long as you mount up on land or shallow water, or use a small mount.
I recall that shizz.
Literally was the ONLY reason I got the stable at all.
Well,that’s pretty much only a few then.![:pensive:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/pensive.png?v=6" ":pensive:")

They are taking it all away.
The flying is almost gone. (They wanted to take it. In WoD … forever SOURCE youtu be/V8P4xSFOj0M) - cinemablend com/games/World-Warcraft-Warlords-Draenor-Won-t-Have-Flying-Mounts-62777.html)
In Legion, the Water Strider would lose the functionality of walking on water (SOURCE) icy-veins com/forums/topic/16194-blue-posts-water-strider-changes-reverted/).
They invented this equipment now.
Soon we will not be able to fly without equipment.
Instead of giving us options, they are limiting our choices.
Just because of the delay of the flight, I am already discouraged to buy the next expansion.
Flying and the system of the mounts in general was an attractive for me to start playing.
And with each new patch, less freedom we have …
Why continue playing?

Actually I’m not far off from this. I was originally done with MMO’s just before I started wow. It was one of my friends that mentioned you could get flying mounts in this game that made me try it in BC.
I’m already on the fence but this might push me over it.

I have it on the bars of every alt I have and use it almost every time I play in no-flying zones.
So BFA zones right now.

they will use the mount slot to force people to use the paths around water in the next xpac and at a later date make the mount equipment available in that xpac. mark my words, they will restrict this slot every xpac so we have to earn it back through gated content and rep grinds.
Something like: explore and be lore master in the new xpac and you mount abilities will unlock.
Do NOT be deceived this is a way for them to stop us from using water walking where ever and when ever we want to in a new xpac.

More likely, they’re going to give us 3 choices of travel paths to frequently used destinations :
Land with so many mobs that you must have no daze, and even then it’s only partly effective
Water path, we can stay of the road, deal with fewer mobs, but we’ll zig zag so much that it’ll be slower even with water walking.
Air path, Precipice obstacles, which either hurt to jump and you land in mobs while wounded, or you use saddle chute and end up agroing more mobs on your glide down.
Basically danged if you do 1,2, or 3, and doublely danged if you don’t.
