If there’s anything the hotfix showed it’s that you can bet they are serious that these forms will never return.
And tbh, I think it also looks like bad news regarding ever seeing that sparkle effect on a form ever again too - seeing as how the hottest post on the forums is completely ignored by the staff, despite all the ideas and requests for a fel-themed form or more druid forms in general to be added to the remix due to players WANTING these things.
kind of demoralizing tbh…I remember when the player had much more pull, but now we’re merely peasants with no voice. to think many of us have played this game for like 20 years…really sad 
don’t worry though fellow druids, i still love you guys
