Ground Mounts: The Last Frontier?

I just want to get to the point...are ground mounts becoming obsolete? With flying mounts now able to 'walk' everywhere, why use a ground mount? Even the TCG is going in that direction (with the Mottled Drake)
Although I think my
Dragonhawk
is hella sweet, I kinda like my
Alliance Killer Bear
, and the expensive
Ice Mammoth
.
Not to mention those of you who have invested money (irl or wow) into the TCG mounts such as
Swift Spectral Tiger
or the
This Really Cool Chicken
Is there's something im missing about Cata that will make Ground mounts more useful, or will they just become novelty?

Battlegrounds?

/sigh As said in other topics about this: Ground mounts will still be usuable. Anywhere there is a 'No-Fly' Zone in effect, you will be on a land mount. You will be using land mounts in Battlegrounds; both for PVP and the World one of Tol Barad, which is just like Wintergrasp. Your 1-60 lowbies will be running around on their land mounts as you can't learn Azeroth flying till 60.
Tl/dr: No.

They should give ground mounts 310 speed for comedic value.

you know I was happy when blizzard changed it that all flying mounts now go at your own flight speed, so even those slower ones I use to love now have life in them again. And yeah, its a shame your only be seeing ground mounts for 1-60 players from here on. I'll miss riding around on my brewfest kodo or alterac wolf mount in orgrimmar with a purpose.... then again I won't be hanging around orgrimmar much anyway, so thunderbluff instead.

I would like a Benny Hill track to play as I'm zooming along on my 310 speed mechanical chicken, thank you.

As someone said, battlegrounds. Also for standing around town. I'll be riding my swift zulian tiger there until the cows come home, or until it grows wings and I can fly away on it.

Win.
If they did this, I would intentionally get together a group of friends to make a lecherous old Forsaken and chase around a group of scantily-clad pink-haired Gnome women.

I am trying to think of a good hallway you can do this in. Do it now and speed up the video. Maybe the Stormwind hallway up to the king, you can have them come in and out from behind the pillars.

One of the recent Beta builds had Crusader Aura do pretty much that thing. It would increase both your ground and flight speed by not 20%, but ~200%. It was pretty awesome while it lasted :(

It would be especially hilarious on raptors since they bounce up and down so much. Plus the Mechanohog would be more like a motorcycle...hehe.

I remember a video pre-wrath of the motorcycle being driven around Mt. Hyjal, and it looked to be going at flight speeds. When I found out it didn't go any faster, I was sad.

I expect the grounds mounts being used whilst in future raids/BGs etc for group speed participation......where as normal exploring/questing and locating new areas maybe for the flight mounts....
Good to see new mounts :)
