Even when they were usable outside of Draenor they were hamstrung. Lasted 5 minutes,maximum stack of 5 meaning you had to mail yourself multiple stacks and constantly have a mailbox to hand every 25m… Real shame because they were otherwise great for making areas stand out in events.
I genuinely struggle to try and understand why they were so harshly limited. Like, were the developers afraid of people using the tents to cover quest givers, mailboxes and auctioneers or something? That’s the only reason I can think and in that case, can’t you just make them unusable near these specific objects and characters. I can sense a hint of logic in it, but the execution is just the laziest, most half-baked solution to any “problem” I have ever seen. Just cutting it out, instead of making it work.
The question ‘Can’t you just’ when related to coding or programming is normally answered with ‘probably but it’s not worth the time required to debug’.
while the loss of the tents were sad, I am equally sad that some of the more fun workshop items (not to mention the tank) also became limited to one expansions content.
I thought it would be pretty cool to roll up in a driveable catapult, even though the damage wouldn’t do much to current level players the visual effect in bigger scale RP PVP would have been loved, i’m sure.

Maybe they were afraid of world-pvpers using tents or any similar constructions to line of sight during fights? Wouldn’t be the first time to lose something due to pvpers abusing it. looks at x-faction communication and Forsaken being able to speak Common
Daily reminder that you can force a bug to be seen on top of a mount, therefore creating mounted combat
Pretty 
, but it is plausible for RP purposes, as for OOC purposes I agree with Zeep, cause that would be terrible in the PVP aspect
I want ships and boats. Multi-passenger mounts or toys where you could actually move around on the deck. < 3
Edit:
I hate to say it, but I genuinely don’t think Blizzard would apply a cooldown shorter than at least 5 mins longer than the toy’s duration. Those 10-min toys with 1-hour cooldowns are plentiful. 
On that note, I’d even settle for reskins of the Anglers Fishing raft. Different types of small vessels, from row boat to one with a sail. Though, haven’t they been trying to get rid of the raft as well… I seem to recall something a while back where they wanted to get rid of it. Anyway. Boats… Yeah.

Any as big as your head?
But seriously, yes, I wish there were less “You are in the wrong zone” messages. Just why? Why not let us use any toy in any zone? Why can’t my dance totem affect all allies, not just players in my party?

I have something in my bag that might be a boat of some kind… I can’t check it right now, but there’s some sort of water-transport consumable out there.
I love the idea of a proper fishing boat though. Maybe a coracle? That feels perfect for a monk to fish from - requires balance and skill to neither fall out of nor spin in circles.
The only one I know is that there’s the boats in game from the Thousand needles boat holiday, but those ones last for a week and then all you have to do is wait a year to get a new one. …Fun 
I’ll be pleasantly surprised if there is something else like that, but I would also expect it to be designed with very strict limitations that would make me hurt inside.

Not to forget how they’re actively breaking some toys being used in appropriate zones. You tried Aviana’s Feather recently? It’s no longer a long, smooth glide, it just throws you high up in the air and grants you run speed momentum along with the slow fall effect, resulting in you just falling down while running. xD
The tent system had such potential, especially seen as some Goblin and Gnome houses are the same size and could have been used in the style of town in-a-box, instead we get nothing, likely on the excuse that they could be used to Troll people which could have been easily resolved with enhancing neural silencer to make various toys which have visual effects invisible.

Firstly, that would take actual effort and that’s not allowed.
Secondly, and most importantly, no fun allowed

The worst part is, they are quite willing to make underwater mounts usable, yet they still refuse to make proper (small) boats usable, outside of the love boat and fishing raft toys which are only usable on water proving Blizzard can easily do it if they want too.
But they just outright refuse to make items like the River Boat a toy or mount.

They shouldn’t, honestly, Blizzard should cut the crap, they’re ruining more then enough of their most loyal customers (the roleplayers) immersion and fun.
Also, they should add siege engines, steam tanks etc as mounts, they added the gnomish spider tank and meat wagon as mounts, but again they somehow refuse to add other “siege weapons” as mounts.
honestly, Blizzard is bieng ridiculous.

Love Boat - love is in the air. 30 min cooldown but afaik lasts until cancelled.
1k Needles boat - as described
Anglers Fishing Raft - Usable anywhere, only requires Pandaria fishing 1 and revered Anglers (hard, but with the 2x rep you get from commendation, not impossible for an alt). Also has a cool Mage-only version that’s a floating block of ice.
XA-1000 Surface Skimmer - BfA Engineering crafted consumable for a 25 second speedboat. 30 sec cooldown which is a pain, but still.
