Worgen are getting plainsrunning?! WTF!!!!
Who says there won't be a racial mount? Worgen will probably be able to buy mounts anyway, so they will always be able to choose between the mount and Running Wild. Then there's no reason to not have a racial mount.
Indeed it is. I don't know what are everyone yapping about, being against it.
Plainsrunning's mechanic was not even close to that one.
And worgen running on all four is a highly requested "feat" on the beta. It's been discussed multiple times by players and everyone liked the idea.
But everyone discussed it as being part of Darkflight. Now Blizzard gave us(hopefully, fingers crossed) something SO....MUCH....BETTER!!!
ok smart people have yout thought like in the original beta that plainstriding or going wild w/e is just a place holder till they finish the real mounts so calm dont on that mountain dew code red wipe the epeen juice from your screen and relax
Awesome as it sounds (hoping it'll work better than the original Plainsrunning idea), I foresee a lot of work will be needed with the various clipping issues caused by shoulders and dresses.

Ofc there will be a racial mount for worgens and heres why.
If there wasnt then alliance would have less mounts available to them and blizz dont do that. They make sure each side is equal, if goblins get 2 mounts, worgen will too. End of story.
Plains running didn't work with tauren... I hope its a place holder to get Worgen fans to shutup about their mount... Still hoping for boar! PLEASE NO HORSES!
To everyone complaining about Worgen getting Plainsrunning:
The reason it was removed in ye olden days was twofold. 1), it had a speed buildup (the tauren had to activate it, then run for a few seconds to actually get up to speed), and 2), it had a delay in dismounting that other mounts did not. As far as this new spell goes, neither applies. Which means it'll work perfectly fine. That aside, if they DID do it they'd have to add 2 other alliance-exclusive mounts to fix the disparity. Wait... Wicked theory. What if this is in fact a new mount - a WORGEN MOUNT? They only need to add "letting a gnome or dwarf hop onto your back" at the end of the spell description and we're golden.
Running Wild sounds VERY cool(another reason to race change to worgen), and I'm not much of a mount completionist(I love mounts, but only ones I actually like) so it doesn't bother me too much that they might not get a racial mount.
BUT, I wouldn't be surprised if we see this either as a racial alternative to a racial mount, OR if we'll see Alliance get an extra reputation mount(or something) in compensation since Blizz seems pretty mindful of keeping the amount of mini-pets and mounts equal.
The problem with Plains Running had nothing to do with it not being an actual mount. It had a 10 second(or something like that) ramp up period, plus it probably looked pretty silly seeing tauren running that quickly.
This, on the other hand, seems to work the same as any other mount, plus Worgen already have animations for it to not look ridiculous.
"Bloom and Doom" nice, a plants vs. zombies reference
servers going down soon, hopefully a nice shiny load of goodies to play with in the morning
Honestly I think it'd be kind of interesting to have worgens get both a mount and the plainsrunning setup. It might sound weird, but Druids have all their different forms including flight form, the only real 'mount' spell in the game where you're not literally mounted on an animal or vehicle of some kind.
Truthfully I kind of hoped that Darkflight would have you down on all fours too, but meh...
If they give them both a mount and "running wild" can my cow have his plainstriding (same as running wild) please?
Honestly I'm willing to bet its a placeholder
The Quest achievements sounds really, really cool. Looking forward to it.
And LOL if Worgen's mount is themselves.
Liking the shaman change, huge increase to WF and FT enchants.
Some of the guild cheevs are pretty simple, like catch 10,000 fish. I've caught like 6k alone just going for the stupid turtle. lol

There's no new mount achievements being added, and with all the new faction mounts they'll be adding into the game, both sides could easily hit 100 to get the achievement. Things don't have to be "fair" when there's no reason for it. Life doesn't work like that, so why should a video game?
