One of the things that make Tauren (or HM Tauren) my favourite race are how big they're mounts are...
A bit late but I'm glad its finally getting adressed.
LOL Blizzard pretending like they care about aesthetics, as though our characters hands aren't gripping invisible reins, as though half of the races don't clip our legs through chairs and benches. Blizzard couldn't even get the Blood Elf males to sit right in their own benches in Silvermoon. Submitted suggestions for changes dozens of times, for years, with absolutely no results - Blizzard doesn't really give a shit.
Part of why I rolled a tauren was the huge mounts. Not a huge deal, but definitely not a positive fix from my point of view. I was totally fine not fitting through certain doors. Was a fine compromise for my beautiful giant beasts.

But... why...?
The use of Tauren and Gnome transformation toys just lost 90% of their flavor / appeal from this change.
I just logged into PTR with my tauren. I could not notice a difference to be honest...
yikes the retail dev team is so out of touch with their playerbase
Maybe the Gnome gets bigger.
It's honestly difficult to tell without an exact camera zoom (im sure there is a script that can be used rather than relying on number of mousewheel turns) but it does seem that the mounts are slightly smaller.
However, without someone to compare against on both live and ptr at the same time, it's not completely clear as to how much of a change is is.
