why warclaw in PVE?

The only reasons it's available in PvE is:

1. To encourage PvE players to come to WvW to obtain it.
2. To avoid angry complaints about the mount only being usable in WvW after unlocking.
3. To maximize the potential market for Warclaw skins and avoid angry complaints from those who may unlock them but don't have the mount because they don't like WvW and don't want to go there.

The only benefit for the Warclaw in PvE would be as a starter mount for players who have PoF, haven't gotten to the content yet but want a mount to play pre PoF content.

Getting the raptor is much faster than trying to get the warclaw. It will not take 4-8 hours to get through the first PoF instance.

It's not a mastery track, but a "WvW Ability" and does not affect PvE.

It’s called ‘Warclaw Mastery’. Split hairs all day.

Look it up:https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/World_Experience

A PvE related mastery track for a battle-oriented mount would still be nice in my opinion.

It’s not a PvE Mount. So, why have a PvE mastery track.. Enjoy it where it’s designed for.

The things spoiled by that instance is already covered by the PoF trailer, ads and product page https://buy.guildwars2.com/store/gw2/en_US/html/pbPage.pathoffire/themeID.4785548100

True but getting the Raptor requires skipping ahead and potentially spoiling story for some.If they find that to be a dealbreaker on getting Raptor then they can get the WArclaw instead and use it like a starting mount.
