[Druid][Spell] Travel Form

Bug description: Travel form is slower than mounts.

Proof: I have an addon (DejaCharacterStats) that show me the current speed for swimming, running and flying. It shows different speeds for Druid's Travel Form than for regular mount, 381% vs 411% flying, 210% vs 202% running (please don't fixiate on the numbers, some addons take base speed as 100% others 0%, the important thing here is the difference between both speeds). Someone could may argue that is a visual bug, but I've tested it with a couple of players, my test was to take a player in Stormwind with the maximum riding skill tell him to fly in straight line and just leave my char following him, he gained distance in a few seconds (2-4~ seconds not that much for taking something like lag into account, that, by the way, I didn't have) and I lost him, that's why I know is not just a visual bug.

I have captures showing my riding skill and the different speeds (they're Google Drive links, sorry is not http://www.imgur.com, I don't have an account, and they're asking for phone numbers now...)
Regurlar flying mount speed -> https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ATesTwUbTpccDeTtTnRey_MzGQOTHS2O
Travel Form speed -> https://drive.google.com/open?id=1iU589uVSH6banWZeQsru2GK2P0o_rA6J
Riding skill (you can see Path Finder rank 2 also in the capture) -> https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xqymQdapsd-KQlM63UeyuEXo2LN_ft9D

Additional Info:
This happened before and after gaining the Archdruid's Lunarwing Form https://www.wow-freakz.com/spells.php?spell=231437 so I don't think it has nothing to do with it.
I have the achievements Broken Isles Pathfinder, Part One and Broken Isles Pathfinder, Part Two, they affect the mount speed and the ability to fly in Broken Isles.
Broken Isles Pathfinder, Part One -> https://www.wow-freakz.com/achievements.php?achievement=11190&name=broken-isles-pathfinder-part-one
Broken Isles Pathfinder, Part Two -> https://www.wow-freakz.com/achievements.php?achievement=11446&name=broken-isles-pathfinder-part-two

I can confirm, at least for flight form. I also don't have Archdruid's Lunarwing Form so this doesn't affect the speed. I now use farming mount instead of my flight form because it's faster.

Are you in guild by any chance?

The problem is that the fly form is not the Swift Flight Form one, but the basic Flight Form... https://wowwiki.fandom.com/wiki/Flight_Form vs https://wowwiki.fandom.com/wiki/Swift_Flight_Form You can tell this by the appearance of it, on my druid is the default brown crow, instead of advanced version.

Confirmed. Using the following script, i got 381% with flight form and 411% with the mount respectively. I do have the "Mount up" guild perk.

/script print(string.format("Current speed: %d%%", GetUnitSpeed("player") / 7 * 100))


EDIT: Also the ground travel form does not benefit from the "Mount up" perk when it should.

Thanks for taking your time to report this issue.

This is an already known issue, and was reported back when it was detected, right now the Swift flight form and faster travel forms are not benefiting correctly from your riding skills.
Additionaly, Mount Up is not working with travel form whatsoever, like stated above.

Please refeer to https://trello.com/c/8o9B1V6v/377-druidall-travel-forms-movement-speed-vs-mount-speed for more information.

Since this issue was not reported previously in the forums, i will confirm this post while linking it to the already existing Trello card, despite the fact that it should be considered a duplicate, but i would like to keep this forum thread as a backup for future references.
