The nostalgia of the items in WOW

I miss the nostalgia of the items, but the negatives just outweighed the positives: Pros: faster mounted speed; possible profession WOW gold-maker/gold sink. Cons: Inventory space; clunky swapping methods (scripts, outfit mgr, add-ons), and mechanics - the inability to swap it out in-combat (how many times did you get knocked off your mount, thereby locking your carrot onto your outfit while you had to deal with the mobs?); running instances with your crop/carrot equipped.

 

I'd rather not see them come back. Switching items back-and-forth constantly doesn't strike me as "fun", sorry. And if it's the speed boost that people find more interesting, there's better ways of pulling that off without hinging it on one of WoW's weakest points: the inventory system. Also, it's not like this is the first time we've returned to ground mounts for a daily area to buy WOW gold. Molten Front was similar and not that bad at all. But if you get too fast of a riding skill, don't you fly faster than resource nodes can appear on your minimap?

 

Just give me old group-wide crusader aura back. I'm not fond of more items taking up bag slots or the clunky trinket swap mechanics. A "New Item Slot" where the Ranged Slot used to be. An "oddball item" slot that lets you put something in there that doesn't affect dps. Sort of a "minor glyph for every class" slot. Make it another gold sink! Increase ground mount speed to 150% for example, say 2,000 WOW gold? I'd pay that or less on all of my alts for a ground mount speed boost. Making it a trinket would be an inconvenience, not sure that fits with WoW's current design direction.

 

I wouldn't even have to worry about swapping them in and out as I found a handy dandy addon called Outfitter, which will do that for me if I activate the script for it. Even then, you have at the very least two classes that have a speed increase built into them. "On a cold pale horse" is for DK's, and "Crusader" and for Paladins. If this is going to be a daily area, make it a zone-wide buff (or faction-specific like the Landfall mount buff) that increases the more rep you get or the more progress your server makes (a la Isle of Quel'danas).
