The Riding Crop
I am well aware that the riding crop is undergoing a lot of changes, so I'll spare the usual tripe I might be tempted to dispense along the lines of "riding crops are broke baaaaw!"

Here's what I've gathered. The crop will be used as a consumable enchant to make a mount permanently go 10% faster thus eliminating the need to switch trinkets. Sure, no problem. Just make a riding for each mount I own, especially since the Pets tab makes managing multiple mounts easy and ... okay, not so easy since creating one requires a primal might which when Wrath comes out will essentially become a defunct commodity. After all, who wants to be a level 80 farming the Elemental Plateau? Thus I must ask, are there any plans to alter the material requirements for the riding crop, especially since it will become a consumable item?
I scream. You scream. We all scream for Hellscream! Rah! Rah! Wrrraaaaauuuughhh!!!!

Re: The Riding Crop
The jury is still out on what's going to happen to the crop. We hope to have a solution soon. The main goal was to get the riding crop out of the trinket slot. It's very common to end up in combat with a riding crop equipped which wasn't very fun. It was also tedious to have to swap trinkets everytime you mounted (even with a mod like Outfitter or with macros).

We ran into some technical issues when we switched over to our new mount system. So the crop is somewhat in flux. The main design goal is "not a trinket".
