Why are we limited to humans and elves?
There are two Dragons that use HM Tuaren and Gnome, Ebonhorn(Ebyssian) and Chromie(Chronormu) respectively. I think these races are already present and one of them already has horns…fit these in too.

Because A) They’re not the same as the dragons we know and B) They wanted to give visage forms unique customizations, and adding facial scale, hairstyles, colors, jewelry, and horn options to 2 models is much less daunting than adding them to 46 models.
Technically speaking, I believe their forms aren’t really human or elvish, they’re just… human-and-elf-shaped.

The dragon’s ideal humanoid would have been derived from Titanic imagery, which means Humans, and Elves were the only race of any importance during the age of the Well of Eternity.
If you’re a dragon, and you’re trying to create the “ideal” soldier, anything else is a lesser option.

Its more work to do for little gain and the new race already looks like they put a lot of effort into customization options.

I’m on the side that thinks that they should rethink the Dracthyr and sort of remove the human forms they currently have. Replace it with all standard races. The Dracthyr’s dragon form isn’t that bad, but those human forms are just not pleasant. This could actually alleviate the current race/class restrictions they have. If the Dracthyr’s other form can be any race, then technically any race can be an Evoker. It seems like such a simple, universal fix that nobody could complain about.

The design is mega fruity and unappealing.
More resources/money.
That’s it.

Personally, I would have liked:
True form: a 50/50 humany/dragony form to be used in all content with it’s own unique female and male models that include wings and can wear and mog all mail armor. The models wouldn’t have to be pretty just project strength and power. Think a dragonic version of worgen (but in dragon colors, no human skin tones).
Dragon form: typical or even smaller fully-customizable actual dragon to do the dragonflight mode thing as well as working the same as mounts do in the rest of Azeroth.
Neither of the current forms do anything for me. One is too weird and gangly looking and the other too much of an idealized copycat.
Oh, and pre-Sundering, humans existed but high elves/blood elves did not so neither form should be Blood Elf.

I personally really wish they hadn’t spent their time adding customizations to the visage form and instead just let us chose a race or at least, defaulted female blood elf considering Ysera and Alextrasza 
but it is what it is. Hope that those who dig it enjoy it.

this last expansion felt lazy, it was slow and underdeveloped. I believe elements of this expansion were developed along side shadowlands because I think they were both pitched at the same time and shadowlands won the race.
This neon design is strange and not at all in Deathwing’s slyle, that’s who made them…
Add the cosmetic styles over all the racial features. Neon horns, ears, chins, whatever for any race. Don’t claim that it’s to much work, they have an entire whole year to fully flesh this…it’s not coming in 22, this is likely an end of 23 expansion.
If we’re going to have a game drought I want it to be for something epic!
Because the dragons that turn into something other than humans and elves are the notable exceptions, not the rule? Seems pretty simple to me.
I agree with you 100% and I think it is also dumb to pigeonhole the entire race into two roles.
If they really wanted to keep this new race exclusively one class then that class needs to fulfill every aspect of what other class/race combos can do or it becomes a dead feature for players who like to Tank and Melee DPS, just saying.
I don’t know what else to say but people on here are counting spec abilities and they just don’t see the big picture here, smh.
I didn’t know that I had, I was looking for the suggestion tab in game. It told me that they exclusively use forums now, I don’t forum much. It’s generally a little to trolly for me, so I avoid this place…
I wish they’d have used female elves too but it’s all good.

Yeh, you posted the same thread with a few hours of each other. No worries. Prolly a forum error. 
At the VERY least, I would hope for “Half-elven” options. That is, a male Human model with Elven ears and facial features. Slightly more “rugged” options for goatees and the like, but not quite as rugged as the humans of Stormwind.
Now, having said that…
I would also be SUPER into my Evoker’s Visage form being that of a Nightborne, or perhaps even a Dark Iron Dwarf (ESPECIALLY if Black Dragonflight abilities are ever added).
Blizz likes to pull from old lore from way before the modern era. And in that old lore the only dragon bipedal forms were elf and human looking. And in that actual lore an elf or human form mage that was also a dragon was 10x more powerful than an actual elf or human mage. Yea Dragons have only ever had an elf form or a human form for well over a thousand years in written works of fiction. It has always been that way.
And now Blizzard is using that lore and making their own customization on it.

As much as I want to adore a parade of Chromies circling Dalaran, it has to be given up simply because the visage forms are much more customizable.

I agree with this but also why is the class itself backward. Red and Green flight magic should be for healing and Blue and Bronze should be for DPS. Feels like they forgot their own established lore here. Nowhere does it specify that Bronze dragon magic is healing magic. So strange, and half unrelated here.
