    While i am not a fan of the new flight form and have disabled it. I can see what blizzard was after, We have been blessed by Ariana to be one of her special "lunarwings" If it was its own spell or even a mount we turn into (like the sand drake) id like that A LOT more. A nice feathery cast (other mounts have cool mounting styles). I can see blizzard doing somthing before 7.3 to resolve the issue, most likely just make it have its own spell.. nothing special. But hey.. you get what you get.

    I'm sure all Druids would agree.
    I'll trade you not being able to use mount in raids for instant cast and ability to interact with environment while on it.

    You cannot have the best raiding specs, the brainless rotations, the best gear-scaling, AND the best class mount.

    Blizzard made his choice:

    You have powerful and useful spec, but a horrible mount

    This is one of the only reasons why I'm fine with the form.

    You get new druid shapeshift models like every other expansion. This one is a flight model, as intended.

    80% of other classes would take free 2 person mount over nicer cosmetic mount.

    I hate the color for troll, dont mind the animations. Needing to spec blessing of the ancients in boomkin to get rid of it's pink/orange kinda sux.

    Phoenix Model: Check!
    Owl: Check! (I LOVE them)
    Instant: Check!
    2-Seater: Check!

    I love it! The only unfortunate thing is that we cannot use them in non-flying places (Raids). Oh and probably getting a resting/sitting animation would be cool. Seeing all those AFK druids on this form in the Dreamvgrove scared me (They are frozen in place).

    One thing: I've seen people here complain about the size. Now think about this for a second, you have the ability to carry someone. How are you going to do it with the old Flight Form size?
    People hated MoP but now many say it is the "Best" expansion. Given enough time, WoD will be the "Best" as well, I dare say.

    There are 2 colour variants that are listed as spec reliant on wowhead, maybe the variants are so close you dont notice it?

    but demon hunters do have 2 colour variants to their specs.

    Druids dont, hence my argument.

    Considering the form is entirely cosmetic sans the two seater feature, I'm not seeing the issue. Most of the class mounts are fugly and 90% of people are humping them anyway and flooding cities everywhere with derpiness. Cosmetic=optional=too bad.

    I love the mount, what I hate is colors being tied to race. I wanted the white owl but I'd have to be a hideous worgen to get it.

    Then again, we're the only ones that have racial variants. So it's not exactly as if we didn't get anything in return.

    And all of that was only added in later. Many years after the forms themselves were introduced, generally. Just to put it in perspective.

    Wait... our new owl form is a 2 seater too? I didn't even realize

    Ima sad panda.
    Wait what? That's certainly disappointing

    I still think the monk tiger is gorgeous and I love the fact that he talks to you when you mount him. It feels fleshed out even when there is only one look.

    The druid mount has many pro's but also feel like it lacks some stuff. I am especially disappointed that it always hovers above the ground. I still like it quite a bit, but im not sure if I will keep using it forever.

    My druid is one of my alts that I keep semi raid ready so I do spend a good amount of time on him. Personally I like the flight form/2 seater version since I've been helping my girlfriend (who just started playing WoW) get Pathfinder. I have completed so far the hunter, warrior and druid class mount quests and this so far has been the most lackluster of them.
    As most have said my biggest disappointment came by way of it not being usable in non-flying areas as other class mounts are. At the very least I wish they would of done an overall skin the travel form since flying and ground travel form share the same spell. Reskin/change stag form as well as flight form so we are able to utilize the "class mount" the same way as the rest of the classes.

    That was the original intend, but something broke during the 7.2 ptr and they couldn't fix it, so they chose this solution instead.

    So many things wrong with the druid class mount, it looks stupid from the front, it's just a replacement for flight form instead of an actual mount, half-baked animation, the fact that it competes with various glyphs for travel form. When so many other classes got some really kick butt mounts (sorry priests, yours looks as bad as ours almost, but at least it's an actual mount) and when there were so many better ways to have done this, I really don't think the two-seater and the fact that it's instant cast makes up for how awful it looks. I'm keeping my warden's owl glyph personally. Looks cooler, sounds cooler, and the only downside there is random party members hopping on my back in stag form (if only each travel form had it's own option for display, cheetah plus warden's owl for instance). RIP druid class mount.

    You guys get an instant-cast two-person flying mount - literally the only one of its type in the entire game - for free. Appearances aside, your mount is objectively superior to every other class'.



    Now talk to a Hunter or DH. They just get slightly updated flightpath mounts.
    There are other 2 person flying mounts. one you can get for 50k a few hours worth of farming, yes its not instant cast but i would rater use that than ugly owl or whatever it is.... It is not when i cant use it in non flying zones like its should be ( cool looking ground mount )....

    We were able to do that before we got the new "mount", well for years before.... If you wanna do that now, well get that golem mount
