In all fairness, I’m actually obsessed with Dragons. Elves are actually decently far down on my priority list of playable races. It’s just that WoW didn’t have any of the others. Now that I’m getting Dracthyr, all my Elves are gonna be collecting dust come Dragonflight. 
For the record, my player race priority is draconic race, reptilian or avian race, fae or satyr race, and then it finally gets to Elves.
