    Which mounts would you like to have a built in water walking ability?
    those mounts hover. they dont work on water unless you've got power!

    The Kosumoth mount should at least not dismount you when you're at the surface. Most annoying thing ever.

    In areas where you can fly, the Geosynchronous World Spinner travels at 310% while partially submerged in water.

    Notable only for looking kinda cool.

    Oh my god yes. Never has so cool a mount been so underwhelmingly useless.

    Though maybe it'd be cooler in Vashj'ir, haven't tried it there.

    The problem is at this point people are tired of only using those mounts. We'd like to use more than 1-2 mounts in the game.

    Doubt it. The seahorse you get from questing there is as fast as a flying mount (+280%), iirc.

    In that case you should suffer lava damage from riding them. :P

    Before they redesigned the glyph system i remember warlocks had one where they could walk on water with their class mount forget which one though this needs to be brought back

    Yeah, the seahorse is a lot faster that the fathom dweller. Boo!

    I like the idea of hovering mounts being able to Water walk. It felt weird just cruising around on the Cloud Mount only to end up with my face in the water. That river beast swim speed idea is also rather good as well.

    What's the point of that then? Who would drop a large amount of gold to upgrade a mount with Water Walking if they can just continue to use the Water Strider or, failing to have that, grind out the rep to buy the Water Strider and use one of the new easily grind-able swimming mounts in the meanwhile?

    Yeah, however it removes the "fantasy" of the original concept, so don't think it will happen.
    Got both the blue and red version of it. Mainly uses it for its ability, but when that is said, then I'm sooooo bored with it

    Hovering mounts should fly above water.

    Water walking should be exclusive to DK and Shamans (and professions like alchemy or eng.). Stop giving everything to everyone and then scream on forums that everything is the same and boring.
    When a player quits EVE and goes to WoW, the average IQ in both games increases.

    I would. I've never been a fan of the way the water striders look. Not sure how many expansions are in WoW's future, but as long as they continue to lock flying at the beginning, I would much prefer being able to use a different mount.

    Just increase all mounts' swim speed to +60% of normal run speed, I'd be happy enough with that.
    Furthermore, I consider that China must be destroyed.

    It won't matter when we can fly. It shouldn't have mattered anyway except for leveling because we should have been able to get flying at 110 in 7.0.

    The original flying machine also allows you to fly full-speed whilst skimming the water. I had a great time when they first upgraded the water engine to allow ripples.

    In addition to just a gold sink it should be a useable sold by the Anglers on Exalted for some thousands of gold which enables all flying mounts to use their flying animation at 200% speed (ground mount speed) above a water surface. Ofcourse this should only work for characters lvl 98 and above. This way low level characters have to keep using the water strider for water walking so the mount itself doesn't become obsolete, but allows higher level characters to use some more variation. The only downside would be that most ground-only mounts won't get as much love as they get now when not using a water strider.

    The ability for any mount to water walk should be removed from the game.

    Blizzard felt the same which is why they intended to limit the water-striders ability to Pandaria.
