Could someone explain lorewise why we can’t shapeshift into spiders?
I’m just curious what is the story behind.
I’d be dope to be a spider feral.

I mean you could ask that for literally every animal.
Lore-wise I suppose we could shapeshift in almost any animal (or at least vertebrate) of the same mass, but perhaps cat and bear just so happen to be the most practical for their intended purposes.

As far as I understand, druids workship the wild gods, and that is why the can take their form.
But We have seen some druids transform into spiders, snakes and others.(Willing Caverns, Firelands, Emerald Nightmare)

I have this memory from vanilla wow. Warlocks was able to shift into spiders. Was it a dream, or some private server thing? It was from the time, when there were no tauren mounts, they were just running fast.

Druids can turn into spiders, well, Nightmare Druids can.
Regular druids cannot because they do not follow any wild gods who teach such a form.

Because i’ve sent hate mail every day since zandilari trolls came out not to turn our catform into abominations and let us stay as kattepus
well, in order to establish these ; i guess blizzard needs to add faction atonements or magical Beastiary collection system for feral druids which could be awesome. Feral druids should be able to mimic wild animals according to lore.I doubt these kind of sytems will be implemented though.Feral druids are the least favored and cared class in Blizzard HQ (i play since wotlk launch ,and it got alot worse wtihin years especially after catacylsm)
btw; i would love to shapeshift into ravasaur or spider for feral. Even a raptor form for feral.(not travel one)
İmagine our maim or might bash ability would be renamed as Web 
and we coat and spray enemy with our web and attack it with our spider legs would be hilarious xD
firemages and destro locks would be 10 times more annoyed though; kill it !! kill it with fire !!
Btw i have a dream ; one day i will be playing as Xuen the white tiger feral; Even a legendary questline would be awesome. Xuen appereance + loquenahak attack sounds…
***i wouldnt play any other spec; just to play as Legendary xuen(feral) and hear those attack sounds for my feral druid. it would be AWESOME,it would be the final product, and blizzard wouldnt need to change feral attack sounds again.
You can type Loque’nahak on wowhead then look to sound section if you are curious how it sounds like.
Nope nope nope and nope. Bad enough having to see people roaming around on a massive spindly 8-legged beast without seeing fellow druids shapeshifting into the same. Yes I have severe arachnophobia. As soon as i see those spider mounts I run the opposite way.

If it is a God thing, maybe introduce some new mechanic, could be purely cosmetic too, where you choose which Gods to follow. I think more customization is always good, and if druids won’t be bound just to one type of form would be interesting. May switch me from leveling priest and onto druid, because if I can turn into spider or snake or other cute creatures like that. Hell, I’m sold man.
There would need to be function for it though. Walking on walls perhaps?
Zandalari druids could change into spiders, since they have a Loa, but not sure Gonk taught them such.
We haven’t got there yet. It started in vanilla, with travel, aquatic, cat, bear and moonkin form. Later on we got raven/eagle. Then we glyphs to change some of them. Cheetah got changed into a stag. Trolls got a bat instead of regular bird. Fire kitty got addes as a toy in Firelands. The Zandalari shaked everything a bit more with their forms.
Druids forms and variety are expanding, slowly but expanding. Maybe at some point we’ll get a spider form, or a raptor form for regular trolls, or a lynx or a dragonhawk or dryad or… there are tons of possibility.
Everything is possible but it requires effort and resources. Imagine taking resources from BfA. Imagine have BfA even worse than it ever was but now 10% of players got one fun thing.
