    The REAL issue with Druid Class Mount

    I know there was another thread but that got bogged down with people misunderstanding what the poster was saying and missing the point.

    Blizzard originally stated that the Druid Class Mount would both replace Flight Form and be an optional mount. The main reason for this is obvious to druid players and that's customization! The original idea would have meant that we could still use our original or glyph form and still be able to use Lunarwing as a mount. Currently that's impossible, I have unlocked Lunarwing but because I have Glyph of the Sentinel (which cost gold) I can't use it without removing the appearance I like. I know Blizzard said this was unintentional and can be fixed but the last comment implied they won't bother if people prefer less customization.

    Frankly I don't know why Blizzard didn't just make Lunarwing a new ability like the Stag Glyph so people could both use original bird/bat and Lunarwing. I really hope Blizzard does address this

    I'm just bummed that it doesn't count as a mount for achievements. That means I have to do this crap on another character.

    They would've made it it's own spell if they could. It was what they had hoped but the engine is just so dated that it would've taken longer than they're willing to spend on it appearently. So they put in the opt-out option instead of just making it a proper mount as originally promised. Tied customization to race because why not shaft players even further while they're at it and push it out half arsed with almost no animations and with the wrong sound effects. I'd be fine with the rogue mount or some felbat as a new form but I'd settle with the Grove Warden if it has to be a mount. It's one of the most fitting mounts for druids imo and that it's unobtainable is just insulting to those druids that didn't raid in the end of WoD and new druid-players alike. It's way more fitting to be a class hall mount than that brokeback horrifying owl. Feels like they went: "Shit! we put in all these moose mounts so what are we going to give druids for class mount?! -Not that many owls. Everyone likes owls! -Wait what does a flying owl look like again? -Screw it, lets just go with the old gryphon/peacock skeleton and make it a passenger mount. That way we can make it an updated flight form? Which druid uses mounts anyway? -5 birds with one stone, good job everyone!"

    I wish they'd just leave it. The Lunarwing form is hideous and should be burned with fire.
    Sentinel Owl is good and everyone should get the glyph.

    So - just leave it. Don't mess it up by changing stuff. I don't want the Lunarwing anywhere. I'm never going to use it as a mount. I'm never going to use it as form.
    The only thing I want is to get +1 mount credit for completing the quest. Other than that, who cares about the form or mount - it's garbage.

    Do you have some sort of meaningless thread quota to reach? Who cares... It looks dumb. Its just an optional aesthetic for one class. Lots of promises are broken in this game and life. Move on.

    Didn't take long for you to miss the point. I don't play a druid and I got it.
    It was never Hardcore Vs Casual. It was Socialites Vs. Solo players

    I like it overall, but I do wish it could land like the other flight forms. I get why it doesn't though, it's clearly using the Ashes of Alar rigging for it's animation, which doesn't have a land animation.
    Butts.

    you do understand that no one is forcing you to carry anyone right?

    hell, if a party member jumps on you, you can even throw him off.

    Loool

    And do you understand that I don't want party members to jump on my character?
    Jesus... What part of "I don't like that feature"-don't you understand?

    Why are you trying to fucking mansplain to me what I should like and don't like?
    Motherfuckers...

    Let's see. We could try arguing this: I love Black Metal and I hate Justin Bieber.
    There.. now please explain to me why I should like Justin Bieber, because his music is played on the radio. Go ahead. It's the same non-sensical argument we're having about this.

    It makes no sense to argue this - you guys just can't keep yourself from replying.. "ooh someone is wrong on the Internet, I must reply!"

    You could just go "*shrug* I guess he doesn't like feature zyx. Oh well.. moving on". How about you try that, eh?
