If they did this I would 100% play Evoker.

I’d like more options for visage than elves as well.

For me they need to do 1 of 3 things. (1) Go back to the drawing board and have all armor visible in dragon form. (2) Make it so combat will naturally swap the player back and forth between dragon and visage depending on spell usage so that if played properly you can expect to be in each form half the time. (3) Take visage form off the GCD so you can at least macro it to a spell that does not require dragon form without losing DPS.
The idea that you can only see the armor you’ve collected mostly when out of combat in a game that for 90% of players is a combat oriented game is annoying. This is also why I avoid playing as a Worgen on any of my characters and Worgen is only really missing gloves and boots.

Because people like the class and not necessarily the race.

The class itself is “do dragon things.” It’s like being a Druid but hating nature and shapeshifters. Or a Mage that hates magic.

Questionable analogy. Didn’t they add glyphs that allow Balance to do their thing without appearing to be shapeshifted? And taking Resto’s shapeshift requirements out all together and making it a cooldown - so they are in their racial form 90% of the time?
And that was literally because they got feedback about people actually wanting to see their transmogs…

Absolutely. Why not?
This Druid is literally moonkin-less because I don’t like the form myself and shadowform is one of the main reasons I no longer main priest.
Having the option to be formless should’ve came a LONG time ago.
No, we don’t want that.

Yes we do. If you don’t you just don’t have to use it. Why are you against player choice?

I’m against investing time into this because that’d mean trading that time off for something like being able to have different visages. For example, a Nerubian visage rather than Blood Elf.

It would take very little dev time, much less than adding different visages or mog options for dragonform.
I’m pretty much constantly using some form of costume on my evoker just to avoid turning into a dragon. I have an OPie wheel of about 20 of them I rotate through.
I rolled an evoker because I like the class and playstyle, not because of the race.

The class itself is essentially wow’s take on a Sorcerer from DnD, a class archetype wow’s been missing. Specificially a draconic bloodline sorcerer, they commonly looked like normal humanoids with draconic features.
A humanoid with dragon features can still very much do dragon things. Personally? I want the visage to be able to have more animations outside of the dragon form and transform for a few seconds only for certain abilities like breaths, hover, and dragonrage.
Half the reason i want to be visage more in combat is because i really have a hard time seeing small swirls underneath me because the wings are so damn large. I’ve died a lot because i was standing on something that was barely visible through my model.
It’s not a 1:1 analogy. Dragons have their own flavour of magic in WoW. Draconic influence does not augment a spell caster; draconic magic is its own school entirely. And Evokers also mix in inherent draconic biology.
If you just want to play an Elven Mage, you don’t need access to Evoker to do so. Nor would it make sense to have an Elf flying around the battlefield.
Don’t wanna play a mage. Different class, less desirable playstyle. Also read the rest of my post.
I would simply argue that thematics and gameplay are more tightly interwoven than many players would like to admit.
Where are my options to get rid of cat and bear form then?
The problem with this is that taking the forms out of the druid is like taking the light out of a Paladin. Glyph of Stars exists to perpetuate the sun/and moon bit but with more moon than sun. The glyph to just be more human than Dragon just feels more boring and customization that I can’t benefit from.
My problems with ‘easy wins’ is that they tend to give up on the harder ones down the road to which when they eventually get to it, there will be no real fanfare. Look at Earthen for example.

I noticed you conveniently left out chicken. The glyph allows the druid to remain humanoid with starry effects.
Lol what. He left it out of that sentence because you can get rid of chicken, so it makes no sense to include it in that question. He mentions glyph of stars literally 2 sentences later.

Next time I’ll quote the entire thing so edits will be obvious.
Either way the request still has merit. Regardless what other classes can and cannot do. I’m not one who cares about being humanoid only but it is low hanging fruit for those that want it and doesn’t mess with anyone elses experience except the one that uses it.
The fact remains there is precedent to hide a form, no reason Dracthyr shouldn’t be able too.
I mean, his post has zero edits on it, and your post came 16 hours after so its not like it was within that 5 minute grace period.
