Druid ground travel form does not get any speed advantages from neither the player nor mount buffs.
“Oh but its not a mount its just your character changing forms!”
Ok, then I should get player speed buffs, right?
i think its to balance it out
Blizzard didn’t want to put it solely in one category so basically it in a limbo between both .
Yes, “it’s not a mount” is the correct answer. I could be wrong, but I don’t think Ghost Wolf benefits from some passive movement speed buffs either. There are caps on this stuff.
On the other hand, we can wild charge in travel form, allowing safe drop from any height, and we can interact with many world objects in travel forms.
Pros and cons.
I used to think what you did, but I’ve come to realise over the many years playing druid that travel form is extremely strong even with the lack of mount-related buffs.
Balance what out?
Flight form gets the mounted buff.
PvP and what nots because it’s instant mount and go and no cast timer.
Travel Form is already heavily nerfed if (1) in instanced pvp or (2) in combat
“I want perks with my perks damnit!”

If I’m mounted I should receive mounted buffs.
If I’m not mounted I should receive my player buffs.
Just because Druids can do something special doesn’t mean these buffs shouldn’t apply. Blizzard even acknowledges this as Druid flight form does get mounted speed buffs.
My DK gets a class speed mounted boost on top of the guild mounted boost. Is that also whining about perks on perks?
No, that’s actually the reason you shouldn’t get even more.
Don’t be greedy.
No, that’s actually the reason you shouldn’t get even more. Don’t be greedy.
Both the DK and Paladin receive their special class mounted perks on top of the guild mounted perks. Should those be removed?
The implicit acknowledgement here by Blizzard is that stacking should be happening.
But you’re not mounted.
“If” and wild charge is not nerfed and it’s a perk with forms including travel
Preempted in the OP.
druids get literally everything else they can not have one thing

I appreciate your admission that this should stay the way it is because you’re jealous. Others are not as truthful.
These are people who miss the hybrid tax. The current state of guardian is proof that the hybrid tax is alive and well in the minds of developers and those in the playerbase who want other classes to be hamstrung.
Did you play a druid in Classic? At the start of classic, attempting to interact with an NPC or a mailbox while in shapeshift form would give you an error, because beasts can’t do that. When I recently went back I found they actually had fixed that, and now you get knocked out of shapeshift form and are able to interact.
But they have a mount form…
While there is a Tome of Mount Form, it’s a separate travel form that is awkward to use when you want to. I miss having a glyph that let you allow any party member to mount. But I guess the small-minded people who are morally opposed to sharing won that battle.
It’s not a mount. It’s a shapeshift.
