I do see a great number of bear and mammoth mounts, but other than that I still notice a fairly large variety. I mostly use my spectral tiger mount, but I'll switch things up now and then.

The one mount I'd like to acquire still is Reins of the Raven Lord. That's one of my favorite ground mounts in the game.

Q u o t e:

Why don't you just buff the drop rate to 1 in 5 then, kind of like what you did with the deathcharger?

The deathcharger mount is now 1/100.

Q u o t e:

Hey Eyonix, I asked in the other mount thread, I'll ask again. Since the Night Elves got their Hippogryph way back in Burning Crusade, is there any chance we Forsaken can get our Bats? We're the original outcast faction of the Horde like they are of the Alliance. Where's our racial flyer?

The Hippogryph was available to all players as a reputation reward from the cenarion expedition faction, not exclusively night elves. It's possible there will be bats available as flying mounts at some point in the future, but nothing is in motion at this time.

Q u o t e:
Hint: if the devs are listening, +3%(stacking) mounted speed when mounted on own race's mount (class mounts are included)

You can look at that as a reward for riding your faction mount, but in all honesty, I see it as a punishment for riding a non-faction mount. Point being, we wouldn't want to discourage players from riding whatever mount they find most suitable.
