C, tho isn't it unfair that DK's and Paladins can go faster with mount? Please fix.
Hi
A
Obviously.
Ashr
Not really a big deal but if Blizzard were to do anything about it it would be option B. They definitely wouldn't let everyone do it.
Actually I'm not really sure why Druids have this advantage in the first place. Must be some kind of unintended consequence of their flight form being considered a form rather than a mount, which Blizzard chose never to address.
If you think about it having an instant cast flying mount is already a big advantage, they certainly don't need any additional perks! Not sure why you should get a "perk" for playing one random class out of 11 anyway.
See, we don't need this type of attitude in a developed community. Druids have been given these advantages throughout Warcraft.
I've experienced and seen druids stealing herb nodes (like many players) with these "slight advantage[s]", so why should players like myself stay quiet about it? It may not be an exploit but it does affect the gameplay time of others unlike other class buffs and spells.
Why have any special abilities for classes then by that logic? I can't gank people in the air like mages and priests because I don't have slow fall. Either give every class a slow fall or remove it because it is a slight advantage in a handful of situations.
Oh, that's just like flight form. It's a slight advantage in a handful, namely one situation. Let's also make sure that DK's and Paladins cannot go faster than anyone else on their mounts, because in this backwards arms race now they would be too overpowered in gathering professions. Crap, now that flight form is out, mount speed increase is gone, mages blink and warrior leap help them beat me to nodes. These also need to be removed. Then rogue and druid sprints, and so on and so on.
So glad that a lot of people in this thread don't design video games because we'd be playing inside a cardboard box in a matter of minutes. Get over it, all classes have unique advantages and perks in different situations.
I have 2 druids and a monk, all capable of flying in to farm up herbs and ore. No problem here.

Druids cannot gather while actually in flight. They can gather herbs in flight form but must be on the ground completely. This slight advantage is a perk and a uniqueness and there is absolutely no reason to take that away from anyone. It's not unfair at all. Everyone has their little advantages that they come up with, from heroic leaping-charging away, to shadow melding out of combat, to slow falling off a cliff, to reduced fall damage, to bubble, to pet tanks, to stealth... Etc. That doesn't even include engi perks. Let's just enjoy the game for what it is, ya?
You know what?
Put a cast time on flight form or prevent it from being cast while falling and I really don't give a shit whether it's removed or not.
I play a druid and this is just the dumbest thing ever. We need to stop trying to monetize this game anymore than we already have, 3 separate classes having herosim? 2-3 classes having B-Rezzes? Not considering Symbiosis?
I'm sorrry, But there has to be unique things to certain classes for the game to stay interesting. If we had just one race and one class and we all shared the same abilites,skills,talents and racials...that would be rather boring and we would be seeing posts like "Who wants a new class/race with different abilites,skills and talents?"
Lol, what a terrible attitude.
Many classes have unique abilities, good for druids that they have flight form
I'm pretty sure druids can't fly whilst farming. If not, some of it does require you to be out of shapeshift form. I can sympathise but druids definitely don't have it all.

if the OP had a druid this thread would've never started.
Give it a cast time as every other mount in the game.
I play a druid and I am pretty sure picking up objects was a bug to begin with, blizzard just went with it.
I don't care what happens really, where is more important aspects in the game to care about.
Edit: I see there is a lot of whine about it being instant in this thread,
Some classes get free mounts
Some classes get legendaries every other expansion (Ferals never had one and I don't count Sulfuras because it was on par with lvl 50 green items for us)
Some classes get to chose whatever race they want to play, we have 2 out of 6 races to chose from.
Some classes have better aoe,
Some classes have better singletarget healing,
Some classes have better tanking,
Some classes have better singletarget dps,
Some classes have summon/portals
All classes are different, accept it.
