No. NO. NO! Do NOT do this! I absolutely HATE this!

Tbh I don't care much about the dazing experience. I'm more concerned about the water walking mounts... Before we had to wait like 6 months before we could get our flying mount in Legion only to be shadowed shortly after with Argus. And then we have BfA and we still don't have the flying mounts almost 1 years later... AND now we won't be able to use our mounts on water.Like, seriously, what ? Blizzard wants to kill the game or is it just me ?
This is like taking away your pants so they can give you a sweater in return. I mean yeah, it can be a really nice sweater, but I'm still on my underwear.
The real problem is not the daze. The problem is that since Legion, we have zones cramped with enemies, covering even what previously were safe zones (main routes, flight posts, quests givers). I sometimes feel like the guys in the movies choping their way through the rainforest, but the plants move and attack back.
Literally, what is the connection?
As far as I understand, 8.2 will bring flying, so in two weeks we won't care about dazing flying high over enemies heads. And actually water walking won't be an issue either.Or... now I am using two mounts, water strider to ride on water and some other for other situations, because it's boring to keep stuck to single water strider out of my huge mount collection. In 8.2 I can install water walking shoes for water strider and daze-preventer for that other mount and have experience similar to what I have now.Or is mount equipment shared across all mounts?
Like many have said above "Fun Detected" I find this QOL change to be a step backwards in the face of an already growing issue with pathfinder and mount equipment. I'm not sure if its all the work on Classic that has the current Devs in this mind set but this is no doubt a step backwards.
The new feature is so crap, they have to change existing mechanics that've been in the game for years to make it appealing. Par for the course in bfa.
Sad that to make a mount equipment more valuable they have to add more annoyance to the game in general. Stop adding annoyances, start adding more fun things to do please... is that really too much to ask?
Lovely, yes Blizzard this is the way to improve the game!
What a silly change. You can walk through an area in BFA without being hit by a few mobs, now those mobs will absolutely dismount you unless you use a piece of equipment that competes for REAL utility like slow fall or water walking. Their awful design decisions still astound me, although after this many years I should be ready for them. I think they have a "fun meter" or something and it can never go above 100, so if they want to add something fun to the game they have to take something away.

As a long time multiboxer this is just more reasoning for me to shut down my extra accounts. Stacking shields on my follow toons so they dont get dismounted has been the thing to do since legion and now it is gone too. My main gathering team is all druids and runs around in guardian spec but the others will now get dismounted constantly. Do not think of this as a multibox issue either, just imagine getting chain dazed trying to run to WCM from the flight point, or completing the incursion quest that is on the other side of those annoying mobs that no one takes the time to kill, now you get dazed for days.
They better give us free azerite respecs then because this was the only reason I took the shield traits.The daze preventer is literally the only good piece of mount equipment now.
