That's the only thing Druids get free.  Druids also don't have a pet or a Soul Stone so you can rez yourself.  If you don't have the gold farm for it like everyone else.  I farmed my epic flying mount in about 2 weeks by farming primals and transmuting them to Primal Mights.  You also get tons of green drops and I even got a couple of purple leatherworking patterns.  One which sold for 800g.  If the green drops are crap and won't sell, have a guildie Disenchant them and sell the mats.  There's a ton of arcane dust (which is needed by mages for a refreshment table for one) that comes out of these as well as planar essences and every now and then a large prismatic shard.
