Because some of us don’t want Visage at all. You’re forced into it even though the stupid quest is all about “acceptance” when some of us literally just want to play as a Dragon and not hide it. The Aspects, Chromie, all the other Dragons? They’re weak and pathetic for using Visage. They shouldn’t have to take the form of other creatures just to “fit in”.
The one thing we’ve been asking for is TRANSMOG, and instead Blizzard is letting people who don’t like Dragons play as elves.
Then don’t use visage??? Hello?
As for armor, dragons don’t wear armor
I strongly oppose this change.
Great, so don’t use it
It ruins the fantasy all around. Why roll a character you don’t want to play?
I do want to play this character. I’d been playing Holy Priest since Cataclysm before picking up Evoker for the first time last week, and now I love it, but hate Dracthyr.
Half of my character is Visage form.
Therefor, I will still be playing my character.
If you don’t want to use it, don’t use it. 
It literally doesn’t…
Part of being a dragon is having a visage…
So the exact opposite of what you’re claiming
Most of all, I oppose the automatic switching. Being in your visage should come at a cost. What precedence does this set for druids?
What? Being a dragon and a druid are too different things.
Visages are an innate part of being a dragon there is no cost. This is fine.
at this point, just give Evokers to all the other races.
would be a better usage of the time and manpower than this half-baked solution to avoid giving Dracthyr proper transmog in their Dracthyr form.
I hate this. A lot. I’d rather they work on more transmog support.
I want to be a dragon person not an elf or human
HOLY BASED. Glad to see another Dracthyr player who feels this way.
I dont get how this is different from Chosen Identity? Doesnt this just replicate that?
Why do u guys play a “dragon” but dont want to be on “dragon form”?
Anyway i’m happy for you evoker folks. : )
The final chapter of the Elf With Extra Steps saga.
All the furries might be really mad but it’s a great change. Imagine getting one chance at a playable dragon race and they managed to make it look ridiculously goofy AND have no transmog. Yikes 
At least now you can look like a cool person with horns and show off your swanky mogs.
@blizzard Please implement a version where the player is able to permanently remain in Visage form in and out of combat. Many players including myself love the Evoker gameplay but absolutely HATE the visual model/customization options for the Dracthyr form itself.
I stopped playing my evoker because of how much I dislike Dracthyr form, if I could play in visage form indefinitely I would be maining my evoker.

Perma visage is way to go really
Personally I love the fantasy of popping in and out if dragon form . So I’m very very happy! Thank you! This will be my main now!
