As to the point you made, higher rez doesn't mean much. Many players, including myself, are playing on lower-end machines or laptops where we have to have the lowest graphic settings anyway. That being said, I argue with you that the Lion is at all low rez, ontop of which it has armor plating and a slot to show off your guild crest. My point is, if they don't do the same for the Horde mount, Horde is getting jipped. A high-rez scorpion is all well and good, but in the end it still just looks like a regular mob... mobs which will likely be upgraded in detail to look just like this damn thing as far as rez goes.
As far as the picture, you obviously haven't seen one of the most epic SP episodes of all time, i suggest rectifying that.
Lurk n' jerk. Well, not so much the jerk part.
Should have been a wolf, I think, but the scorpion's all right. Going to look silly when it runs though. Oh well, it's not like my lone Hordie has a guild anyway.

to be honest, i wished they would have made a warboar for the horde.
a big one with spiked armour and orange-red glowing eyes and a flag adjusted!
a little bit like this i guess

I don't suppose it possible to like the one you like and respect that other players may prefer the other?
I guess it could be a problem if you generally like playing the Horde but think the lion looks better (for example), but the mounts do generally seem to appeal to fans of their respective factions.
I think they both look rather good. The lion is obviously the easy choice for alliance, scorpion...not so much the easy choice, but very interesting indeed. It would have been nice if they created a new model for the lion, especially since we know they have the capabilities to do something much more detailed now, but it's cool nonetheless.
I'm not 100% sold on guild mounts yet, we can't say for sure that "everyone" in a guild will have one, but if they do, it won't be as big of a deal as we all think, most people don't like using the same mount as everyone else.
At least the whole guild mount is a new idea, always nice to see blizzard working on creating new ideas and getting them implemented.
Or maybe clinging to the tail (thinks of jesse´s presentation of the worgen "mount")
Imagine a scorpid coming your way with his teetering tail and a horde desperately trying not to let it go...
And if you think i´m wrong, what is prolly to happen if you right on a huge as scorpions back with a gigantic ballista bolt like big sting behind you?

Actually I think the scorpion sucks hard if compared to the lion. And I play mainly Horde.
Unfortunately, until the people at Blizzard take time to quit explaining why they are right and anyone who disagrees is wrong, they are not going to even hear everyone speaking out desperately trying to warn them the ship is sinking.the problems driving players from WoW aren't content or the age of the game, the problem is how the game experience and design philosophy are being undermined by Blizzard's hubris and greed.
I'll add the scorpion to my collection, but I think I'll still keep using mah hog.
WTB a jetpack...
At least you don't have to worry about a huge stinger ready to stab the #!*% out of you at any moment.
