If they're willing to do it for the Worgen, why not any other race? Next expansion could have the Alliance get a mount race and the Horde get the Naga and they don't get mounts which will even out the Worgen not getting a mount.
(Also, paladins get 3 exclusive mounts, which gives them an advantage over other classes in terms of mount achievements)
The difference between Naga and Worgen, though, is that while Worgen don't have a racial mount, they're perfectly capable of riding another race's mount, physically. Worgen can still grind for a horse or mechanostrider. Naga would have a hard time riding, well, anything. Meaning they have access to NO mounts whatsoever.

Worgen are two-legged. Naga are...no legged. XD

^ This
So they'd have different mount animations than normal. Big whoop. It's a fantasy game, think outside the standard humanoid box.

Exactly. It's not hard to sit differently on a mount to make up for the loss of legs, especially some of the Horde mounts. (Though I think the Hawkstrider's would die of fright)

Here's hoping

I always liked Naga. Never understood why they were considered an "evil" race -- they're just mer-blood elves, when you think about it.
And yeah, Na'vi were quite a bit like a weird three-way hybrid of Troll, Tauren and Night Elf, (and kind of like Protoss, with their hair USBs) but cool all the same.
That'd be hard because....well unlike the blood elves, the naga hate EVERYONE so they cant be alliance or horde.

What about four legged creatures though? Sure, you can explain naga, but what about others?

I <3 the Idea Of them being playable for sure, as Cerah stated there are allot of cases of them joining with other forces other than their own. They still in MGT chilling out with Kael atm, they have a good alliance with some Belfs due to past history.
Funny I thought side saddle for mounts straight off the bat too
but as Azu said...

Those ones I can't really think of another way around for them to ride mounts. But Naga are "doable" I guess considering they are the topic of choice here. It would take a lot of work though. There be an awful amount of tail/fin/ and gear they would have to work out to try and avoid too much weird clipping. And just the sheer amount of coding to make boots/pants "work" would be very time consuming. But hey, they would still look excellent if you ask me

OMG i just realized I'm a dragon stalker now. Does that mean I should be at least 500m away from Krasus?

Too much coding, I'd imagine. I just don't think it's plausible. And as for stalking dragons...You stay away. Creepy.

OMG that's brilliant! That could work for Naga too, for mounts that would be too awkward to ride side-saddle.
Hell, I'd love a chariot anyway. /pictures chariot pulled by raptors
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
