Why no one ever complained about Druids who get a flight mount for free, can insta-cast it and can gather herbs while mounted?
Let's be honest: now that flying mounts will be allowed in capital cities and everywhere you can mount (they will just walk-only if you go in a no-fly zone)... Who will ever switch to a 4-legs humanoid instead of just hit the usual flying-mount icon?
Don't get me wrong, I think it perfectly fits the Worgen lore. But I just don't see how that's sooooo important for people.

Does this mean there are no plans for a Worgen racial mount, or will it be similar to the Druids in that they have access to a racial mount but also have a special way of travelling without one?

Nope, this is the racial "mount" the worgen get. They're adding a new color for two of the other racial mounts (mechanostrider and something else... elekk maybe) to make up for the lack of the two new mounts the Horde players get. (for the achi)

There's still plenty o places flying mounts aren't allowed. Many raid zones and dungeons. All the Battlegrounds. Arenas. Prob still Dal. There's plenty of places to use the 4 legged feature.

What I don't understand is how is running on all fours specific to being outdoors? It seems perfectly plausible that you could run on all fours indoors just as easily, instances being a prime example of this, however if running wild follows mount mechanics it won't, just doesn't make much sense to me. :<
WoWWiki says players run at 7 yd/s which is roughly 14 mph (23 kph). Epic ground mount would then be 14 yd/s or about 28.5 mph (46 kph).
I don't know about you, but I don't want to run head first into a wall at 30 mph...

:( this is stupid they need like... spiders or something "creepy"
So them being their own mount is stupid.... but the idea of riding giant spiders isn't?

I'm neutral about the worgen having no racial mounts. The critters I saw in the concept art were pigs, and that's definitely too Warhammer Fantasy. Its what the orks ride in that game, and have ridden in some incarnations of 40k as well. I'd have been ok with them riding some kind of freaky horse, but I guess that's Warlock territory.
You would say also the humans riding horses and gryphon is also too Warhammer Fantasy? I really don't see why they couldn't ride a pig (it wasn't a pig per se, but similar) as long as it fits lore.

Travel form -Druids.
It'd make Travel form for druids further obsolete, whether its instant or not. In addition to other possible class inbalances that i dont even wanna mention. Aside from pvp its also the fact its a free ground mount for the whole race. Not just a class like paladins and warlocks but a whole entire race. Not a big deal, still, it is highly doubtful it'll be implemented as a full fledged mount for them as between the tweeking and whole factor in it all it is either unfair, not needed, or a bit of both somewhere along the line.Um.... the new mounts at 20 does that anyways; you use travel form for 4 levels.
Btw the Worgen mounts have already been posted on MMO champion, along with other forums and sites too, including the official aswell i beleive. Its a Were-pig thingy.ampiConcept art, not an actual in game model.

Like Adamsm said, that was just (very old) concept art from Blizzcon. Like many other concept art things in the past, it got scrapped.
This was the best thing to do IMO... Fits the race perfectly.
