Maybe I should get my default response ready.
"I'm sorry that you're upset because [shapeshifting / nature magic / an animal companion] wasn't included in the 4e Druid. Please remember that there are two other Primal classes yet to be released, including the Shaman and the Warden. It si possible that, in order to better focus each class, [shapeshifting / nature magic / an animal companion] was given to one of those classes. Please keep an open mind about those classes, because you may find that you enjoy the better focus provided by focusing a class more specifically on [shapeshifting / nature magic / an animal companion]."
You left out the clause regarding "and there are probably other builds for the class not shown in this playtest"
