Update all the old dragon models in the old world.

No thanks. I prefer the old models over the new ones. Both are allowed to exist. And I’d like that they continue to exist, because I don’t want my mounts changed into winged demon dogs from Ghostbusters.

Well, it’s 2023 it’s well about time to delete all the old models in terms of the dragons for its new models.

I don’t care what year it is. Stop trying to delete things for your personal opinion.

Do you see those old dragon models in game? And now, compare those to the dragon isles ones they are miles ahead in terms of looks and design.
When a fan does your job better than you do. Lmao.
And I disagree. I despise the new models. Their new stance makes them look like this:
You’ve got your new models, I’ve got my old models.
I don’t want this…
Turned into this…

In my eyes the official product looks better than that of the fans because more effort were put into them and care.
The vanilla dragon models have aged poorly and should’ve been scrapped entirely for DF, cries of “I like the old ones and change is scary, so please add new versions of old mounts to tie to grinds so as to inconvenience people other than me” be damned. The art team was kind enough to add new dragon, drake, whelp, drakonid, and dragonspawn models, but the old models are still used in old content.
You try looking at the old dragons with their flat, lifeless eyes and cardboard teeth and tell me they look good by today’s standards. The reskinned drakes from Cataclysm have aged slightly better, but only slightly because the graphics didn’t really stop consistently looking like garbage until MoP. I would be using my Onyxian Drake in old zones a lot more often if it looked like the one in the video posted above.
Meanwhile, they scrapped the equally dated gnoll model and gave the few major gnoll NPCs their own unique versions. Why the disparity for the race whose name is in the title of the expansion?

I do think that a few that haven’t aged well (Wrath drakes for example, aside from maybe the Azure Drake, which has aged better than others) should be updated in such a way. Yes, I have them. Yes, I like having old looks stay. And yes, I’ve been around for a long, long time, so I’m sentimental by default. But some of them need some serious help.
Sorry, some of us are players, too. Your opinion isn’t everyone’s and they’re perfectly capable of giving you new mounts that aren’t grinds.
Stop deleting my mounts.

And my mount collection is here. Poor attempt.
No one’s getting rid of your mounts, just updating them. You know, away from 2004?

So they aren’t the same mounts anymore. Thus, my old ones are gone.
Ask for new ones, keep your paws off my old ones. Thanks.

I visited Wyrmrest Accord the other day and I had noticed multiple of the dragons models have been updated to the current versions. Kalecgos was still using his old voice actor though. Hilarious stuff. They are so damn sloppy.
They could clean up so much stuff from the old areas if they would just let the fans do it. A lot of the gear looks like complete 
along with environmental textures. It needs a good cleaning.
What is the point of releasing dragonflight then if they aren’t gonna update all the old dragons and dragonids and all of those things?
1: a new coat of paint doesn’t mean they’re gone
2: I seriously doubt you actively rotate between all of your low res mounts. So why even care?
I do agree and not just dragon mounts, there are some other mounts that really need attention on how dated they look… but it be nice if they did update dragon first after adding or when they add dragon riding in all maps.
