Just keep this thread on top, the more replies it gets the higher the chance they revert the nerf on the water strider.
I doubt it.
Should wait to be happy about it until you find out how much itās going to cost to buy them for all characters that might want it. Whereas before they had it already because you had the mount!
If you have the rep already and itās like 10 gold, whatever. If you have 10 alts that need it and itās 10,000 gold each, and 50,000 for people without the rep, how are you going to feel?
True its just like Flying. Ion apparently decided this is another sword he will die on.

Still sounds dumb
Only price Iāve seen mentioned so far was 1k, but Iām pretty sure that was just someone guessing. No way would it be that low.
Each of my toons could do hordes current 2k emissary reward, buy the water walking, and still have 1k left.
I, for one, am excited about this change and was hoping theyād do something like this. Iām sick of the bug mount - itās probably the one I ride the most just because of itās water walking ability but Iām not a huge fan of the model. Yeah, I worked hard for the waterstrider a few expansions ago, but I also worked hard for other mounts that just go unused because they donāt have that useful water walking ability. Hopefully Blizzard doesnāt take this away from 8.2 because some people canāt step back and see the whole picture. All mounts with water walking is better than only one mount with water walking.
Thatās not the point. The point is that before, you would have had 2k gold, not 1k gold for something you already had! And what if you wanted it for 10 players or more. 5 emmisaries later youād pay it off. But if you already had it, you would be 10k richer.
I for one would am ok with everymount being able to water walk.
My issue is removing waterwalking from the mount that has it. Keep the water strider as it is. Dont let any other mod affect it. Let every other mount use the water walking equipment. Just like the sky golem.
How does this break the game?

Like I care? Itās a game thatās about progressing your characters. Iād rather they open up a new line of progression, then maintain the same old stagnation. As I said, I hope they add new equipment items that let us further augment and change our mount abilities. I hope theyāre smart enough to tie this into the game world. Would be awesome if there were ledges that could only be reached by jumping mounts.
Mounts as they are right nowā¦ are nothing more than cosmetic aside from the strider, vendor mounts, and the sky golem. Everything else is just cosmetic.
My only problem with thisā¦ is while I like the changeā¦ Iām willing to bet bliz wonāt actually go full out and put in actual world interactions.
Why would about an hours worth of work bother me though? Thats about how long it takes to do 5 emissaries if you do the quest WQās.
Ones a rep mount, and ones a crafting mount that sells for gold.
it means that a character they donāt play, on an account which they may not play, is their only character which has the reputation to purchase items from The Anglers.
Iām not sure how that sounds dumbā¦ seems like a reasonable thing to bring up.

Glad you donāt care but paying for something we already had again because they are too shortsighted to just leave the water strider alone is absurd. Apparently most people in this thread do care.

Welp better get that rep up or mail that free equipment to the main.
Itās not like Anglers is a hard rep
I mean, if Blizzard can do no wrong and you dont value your time or gold, then obviously there is no convincing you.

Why would I value pixels? And 1 hour isnāt really that long.
More than 600 replies is hard to go through, so apologies if this was addressed. Will barding work in conjunction with water walking?
No one knows yet, Iām assuming youāre referring to the items we currently have in game?
Coarse leather barding.
