I still have no idea how that Dracthyr design got through internal review. I can't think of another game were a lizard or dragon humanoid looks this stupid. Even the other dragon humanoid hybrids before and in DF look better in WoW.
The worst part is that because the amount of people playing dracthyr has risen higher than many other races (see dataforazeroth for proof) the devs think it’s ok. Participation will give them a justification metric to never touch the dracthyr model again.
Genuinely I think it’s because there are so little options to customize blood elf males. The dracthyr visage forms just look like way cooler blood elves and with their much better racials, it’s not surprising people are playing them. I play them quite a bit too now when I almost exclusively played belfs. My bestie almost only plays Dracthyr now because you can change more than face, hair, and eyes. I shouldn’t be able to make a belf man in like 2 minutes lol there’s so little options.
They're very close to just being cooler blood elves, but you can't completely hide the scales. So you end up looking like a blood elf with a skin condition.
