#water strider mount back!

[Ojoverde-eldrethalas (Ojoverde)]

Type water strider mount back the way it was!

[Hazzulu-wyrmrest-accord (Hazzulu)]

So you’d rather it be the ONE mount that can’t have any other affect and that all other mounts get to choose water walking or any other equipment?

[Dreta-stormrage]

NO!
FINALLY WE ARE FREE FROM THE WATER STRIDER’S TYRANNY!

[Peppermint-eldrethalas (Peppermint)]

Yes.

[Belitt-sargeras (Belitt)]

Strider owners automatically get one of equipment to add it to any mount even the strider for free.

A small clarification to our plans with Mount Equipment–

Hitting level 100 on one character will unlock this system. Once unlocked, the system will be available to all characters, and the equipment pieces themselves will require level 20. If your goal is to have waterwalking while leveling, you can just enable the waterwalking Mount Equipment (there will be one available via Anglers reputation that will be bind-on-account), and it’ll work exactly as before, with the benefit of making all of that character’s mounts walk on water.

I rather keep the things we already earned than buy vendor items for the same thing

we are FREE
the ungodly reign of the waterwalking bugs is ENDED

It’s an interesting idea, but I feel Blizzard should focus on mounts that never had any special ability, like riding the Fox mount could make special critter companions - Such as a rainbow bunny or rubber ducky - appear in the world that you can click on and add them to your critter companion follower library

[Hardwire-velen (Hardwire)]

I don’t know about the OP, but yes, I would rather the strider be left alone, just like the sky golem, and allow me the choice of whether to use the strider and have another ability on my other mounts, or have variety in my water walking mounts.

You can have this. Strider owners automatically get one of water walking equipment to add it to any mount even the strider for free.

[Hazzulu-wyrmrest-accord (Hazzulu)]

They’re not taking the strider from you. They aren’t removing water walking. They’re literally just giving everyone more choices.

[Dreadharlot-proudmoore]

What? Hell no, this is a brilliant plan. Go Blizz.

[Crewthian-frostmourne (Crewthian)]

disagree, read the notes on wowhead, its fine

With this system you can equip any equipment to your favorite mounts like the fox, a parachute, water walking, etc…

[Hardwire-velen (Hardwire)]

It’s per character, and I have not seen them clarify if they’ll be giving a freebie to every character on the account, or just to the character(s) with the rep to buy the water strider. The wording “there will be one available that will be bind on account” doesn’t clarify anything about the freebie.

If you decide not to replace the free item you will get from the mailbox absolutely nothing will change for you.

[Asana-moon-guard (Asana)]

Leaving the strider as it is defeats the point of the equipment system. It’s about giving more freedom of choice, not keeping it restricted to one OP mount.

[Hardwire-velen (Hardwire)]

How would exempting the water strider from the equipment system keep you from using water striding on your other mounts?
