Blizzard does not care about the lore. If they want to change something they will change it as has been proven time and time again. The real reason is they didn’t want to make multiple metamorphosis forms and additional customization options for multiple races

Thank you.

Personally, and also speaking on behalf of most the rest of the player base - we’d prefer if it were ALL Dragonflights, not just one.
I made my own thread advocating for it already – The 'Leak': New Race - Dragonkin!
As for -
Wrathion didn’t mature so quickly - at least not as a Dragon: You see throughout the expansions when he goes into Dragon form he’s just a whelp and gradually becomes bigger.
Being Dragons, some are born with having immense innate power which in turn also matures their minds - I think Wrathion casually dropped a line towards how he’s mentally mature in the rogue questline in cata but yeah. Also, the Black Dragons are slippery little wyrms – Their numbers aren’t disposed of as easily as one may believe.
This also being stated - Wrathion could have been collecting eggs since his hatching, or gathering uncorrupted minds of his flight - such as Ebonhorn.
As for all those suggesting ‘The leak is bs (Bologna Silliness) / lies’ -
Although that’s likely - I recall many of you suggesting the same about the Legion leak and concocting massive essays to why those believed it were fools & why its wrong (Tad awkward for them after it was officially announced, eh?).
A lot of people believe the next expansion to be ‘Light VS Void’. Though having a more grounded expansion after Shadowlands makes sense from a gameplay perspective, however I kind of feel it may be something of both - starting off simple, building up momentum and snowball into that subject.
Additionally, if they have all the Dragonflights as playable not just one - then they could have a Dragonsworn class too -
Having both race and class gives it relatively good justification – Now we have the Dragon Race of all the prime flights (Black, Blue, Bronze, Red & Green) and a Dragonsworn class. As you know, currently Dragonsworn are more of a sect than a class (Like in the game you even see ‘Dragonsworn’ that are other classes such as priests, mages etc) but with good world building, I’m sure it could be forgiven for change —
You could justify it via those among their kind that instead of choosing the path of another class - sought to refine their draconic skills, and find a semblance of its power whilst maintaining their humanoid forms to amplify said-powers. That’d be a good way from a lore perspective on bringing it to life.
Perhaps have the other flights sharing the ways of their flight to you - then going on a quest to slay a ‘Bad Dragon’ / Traitor of their flight & absorb that essence of their power to make it possible (Like the Dragonborn essentially).

No it’s not lol, I’m pretty sure Emerald Nightmare is as Emerald Dream as we are gonna get.
my secret source confirms that 10.0 will, in fact, take us to the dragon isles
edit: my secret source also confirms a new race which may or may not be dragon-related
Youd probably be a humanoid who could change into a Dragon for flight like a druid does. I seriously doubt you would be an actual dragon in combat or anything like that.

Who could look at a gnome dragon and say that’s not cool

At the very least they could be Drakonid of their respective Dragonflights with a humanoid form, being able to switch between the two much like the Worgen.
Nope.
DH’s with the 98 level start would have been easy shake and bake raw gold farmers if no cap to numbers.
Non dh gold farmers you had to level up from 1,10 (AR), 58(DK). DK is also slow as hell for this. I love my DK’s…but they are slow as hell. DH’s, 98 start and fel rush…fast farm runs they do real well.
DH’s straight out of intro could be farming pre wod legacy raid. BFa gave wod farming at 120. 98 to 120 was not bad.
Why if so desired you can make 50 of them now. Raw gold farms were gimped hard. Its saves no time to make farmers. Less need to farm. as man that gold reduction sucked.
You’d actually make all new AR’s for this. they start off 10. 2 more levels given to save an hour lol.
Might be a racial skill that lets you breathe fire and you temporarily transform into a Dragon for it. Otherwise, I agree, it’s probably mostly for flight.
Dragon form would be flight. It’d be sick though.

Lol its not real. Leaks that make such claims are instantly false because duh…thats never gonna happen.
I remember hundreds of people said that about the Legion leak - and made essays about how it was utterly false & those who believed it were fools (Was harsher word than fools, but I digress) – so I wouldn’t push it out of the way as ‘Not happening’ but at the same time I wouldn’t confirm it either.
At the moment with this supposed ‘Leak’ – it’d be logical to apply the Schrödinger’s cat theory. But even so, it’s fun to discuss, speculate and feed ideas on how it could potentially be improved.

I’m sure the legion leaks didn’t claim you could play as a demon or anything non-humanoid or big.
Nope, they confirmed as Demon Hunters: Who had a metamorphosis ability that allowed them to turn into a demon – and loads of people shrugged that off as ludicrous, wishful thinking and other vile words I’d rather not speak on the forums lol
That’s believable because DHs were a vanilla class that were removed, and demonology warlocks already had it. But black dragon playable race is the most unbelievable thing ever.
It’s already been confirmed. It’s all over the internet.
