It seems we'll gonna get a bucketload of new mounts in the next expansion, there's even an achievement to collect 75 (!!!) mounts.
A few of them are ofcourse hard to get while others are relatively easy, going from downing certain bosses with a couple requirements to just paying a "small" fee (see yesterday's blogpost) for them.
Our friends at mmo-champion posted a nice little list of new mounts and their achievements.
As you can see there are a lot of new mountspells, but especially the new bear mount and the new engineeringmount look very promising. Especially since there are a lot of people who were rather disappointed when Blizzard announced they would remove the Amani War Bear from the timed event in ZA in patch 3.02. Now everyone has a chance to ride on a massive bear (i still think the Amani Bear looks cooler though, goggles on a bear is not my kind of thing...)
The engineering mount on the other hand will be BoE. Yes, you read that right, BoE. Everyone will be able to ride the Mechano Hog even if you're not an engineer !
It sounds great in theory, but there are alot of engineers who are rising up with a (imho) perfect valid statement. In TBC we had the helicopter , which was BoP, for engineers. It was sort of a reward for levelling engineering to the maximum, then you could make a helicopter and prove you have spent the time (and mostly money) to level engineering.
Now everyone will have a Mechano-Hog, which takes away the charm of engineering as a lot of engineers were looking forward to ride around Azeroth showing off the new ride. But noooo, everyone will be able to do that now and therefor a lot of people are complaining. (Yes, the epeen got kicked in the eballs with this).
But for moneyhungry engineers (like me) this is great ! You'll be able to make mounts and put them on the AH for massive prices (especially during the first months) and they will sell. Mountcollectors will go nuts on them and people who want to complete their achievements will buy one aswel so there will be a rather large market for it.
Let's just hope the mats aren't too expensive so i can make a huge profit to buy my Wooly Mammoth :P

I reserve your second boe mount!
Also get online we've got a kodo and a ram to farm in BRD. It turns out you cannot get the brewfest ram by tokens this year, which *sucks*.
