Perhaps she simply likes being pretty? Almost all dragons choose High Elves as thier humanoid form.

That would imply that dragons have some sense of vanity (they care what we, the mortal races of Azeroth, think of them), when it really seems that the dragons really care nothing for us personally, but only use us as their instrument.

Whenever I talk to a dragonflight NPC (Chromie in WPL, Blue Flight NPC in Winterspring, dragons in KoT) I always get the sense that they feel disconnected from the world. Chromie explicitly notes to the player that (paraphrased) she doesn't like to get bogged down in the gloominess of the area she's assigned to. She stays in the upstairs floor of a ruined, trashed inn, but her room is actually quite cozy. The dragons in KoT are literally dealing with life-ending scenarios, and you don't see them running around in panic, they're actually quite relaxed about telling you that X instance has a catastrophic, life-threatening situation.

My opinion is that she turned into a humanoid because her dragon form might have been too big/too heavy for the platform, or maybe she just wanted to have some relations with her consort .

In a WoW comic book that I read, about some blue dragon that got trapped in human form and then went on wacky adventures to release himself from it, his sister assumed high elf form since they were the most graceful and pretty of the humanoid races, though still consideered unattractive by her standards. She alos becomes attracted to a human paladin who helps the dragons, so if the comic book is anything close to canon then dragons obviously care about things. What they care about probably varies as much as with everybody else

You're referring to Kalecgos and Tyrygosa. They're not brother and sister....well maybe they are since they're the children of Malygos, but they're also supposed to mates. A side note: Tyri is somewhat of a ditz for a dragon, so her reasoning for being a High Elf isn't exactly surprising.

Upon further consideration there is a certain amount of vanity that the dragons display towards the mortals of Azeroth, no getting around that. Sometimes it's as subtle as the Bronze Dragonflight and how inconvenient it is for them to be at any one point in time as opposed to another point they felt more comfortable in, and in the case of the Blacks there is no restraint, they just completely look down upon you and delight at the thought of ripping you to little shreds, that is unless of course they need you to do something for them, or get the satisfaction that they used you to accomplish something because they are sooooooooo far above you.

I just found it odd that the Queen of the Reds, the Guardian of Life would wear an outfit like that, she's not like Tyri, for most of her appearances she's shown grace. "Grace" is not the word I would use to describe her current outfit. "Club Hopping Dragon" maybe, but not grace. I mean it's like she would be trying to tell people about some important and world threatening disaster and every male adventurer wouldn't be able to keep their eyes above her waist. Tyri would think it's cute that the mortals are lusting over her, Alexstrasza on the other hand should know better since she handles the whole life process and all. >.>

Take the Blacks for instance, they may use the human model, but most of the time the human model and outfits they wear are on point for that flight. I've never seen a Black Dragon in Human form and not been surprised when they started talking down to me...I might want to inflict pain upon them and loot them for epics, but I've never been surprised!

For the people that have played the beta is there any Draenei story at all in Wrath? They were technically a big part of Burning Crusade but pretty boring anyway. They were just the defenders of the light and working with the Naaru and except for some Auchindoun quests nothing happened compared to the Blood Elves who had an epic turnaround and strong story for every part of the Burning Crusade content cycle. There aren't any Draenei 'characters' I remember and can specifically point out as memorable

I've heard that the major players for the Dalaran vs. Malygos plot Horde-side are the blood elves, which makes sense. I'm just wondering if theres some faction of Draenei somewhere or story or if they were just forgotten

As far as I'm concerned, they could not only forget Draenei but also cast them back into the outer space they apparently came from. No offense to Draenei players, but they just don't seem to fit with the lore, even after they were somwehat involved in the BC storyline. I find it quite disturbing that a race that was originally conceived as an aprils fools joke (Pandaren) did fit so much better, although those were kind of otherworldly too.

The Naaru storyline seems like it trails off in TBC with no real conclusion or purpose of that matter. Do we get anymore Naaru lines in Wrath or is it dead?

Uhm, Akama maybe? Just because he is one of the Broken doesn't mean he isn't part of who the Draenei are or their story. And granted that Auchindoun wasn't the best executed of storylines but you had a whole region and instances devoted to the Draenei, they were major players in the all the quests in Netherstorm, they lead the Aldor side of the assault against Illidan's forces in Shadowmoon Valley, etc.

There's one quest that involves the Naaru. It's nothing important either.

I was not a fan of the whole Draenei story either, but I think it's worse to ignore it than to not ignore it. The weaknesses of the WotLK plot are mostly found in what it omits, and any tie to the TBC lore is one of the prime areas of omission.

Agreed. And to be honest, if any entity simply doesn't need armour, it's one of the Dragon Aspects.

Anyways...

Let's move the subject off the attire of the Life-Binder on to... something else. This subject's been done to death.
