The Gladiator mount is now also flagged as "dragonriding" mount, just as I expected it to be.
I hope the few "Blizzard only previewed four mounts and we won't get the noodle-drake or any other dragonriding mount and the gladiator one will be a normal flying mount" deniers have a great day. <3

I guess the question on the technical side of thing is - can you flag mounts both as flying mounts and dragonriding mounts? Currently you can't use any of the dragons if it isn't a dragon isles flying zone (like the centaur dungeon). How would a dragonriding mount work if "classic" flying is enabled later, if you would be able to use it in an old zone now?
But yeah, in the end of the day I would expect atleast all new dragons from this expansion to be dragonriding mounts for now (atleast). Can't wait to see what the seasonal M+ mount will be! (fingers crossed for an elemental armoured protodrake)
Honestly my guess on this is if it works out over the course of the expansion then it will be renamed to something else (more generic not just pertaining to dragons) and they will continue to release both new regular and new dragonriding mounts. Since there is no way they go through and update all the mount rig animations (even tho a lot of them share) for flying mounts so all support it, and it doesn't make sense either for it to be the only flight.

Oh, and I just found this:
It seems like they added all the possible options to the drakes with this build, although you can't preview or use them even though they seem to be unlocked.
Update: or not, as the white colour is still missing from any of the customization options.

Yeah, I would hate that. As a mount collector this was one of my fears going into the addon. There is nothing wrong with letting us have both the "fancy elite version" and the normal one to switch up riding without having to go to the transformation platform.
The full transformation bit may just something from early development though, as both the gladiator and razsageth mount currently have their own entry in the mount journal. And even if not, it's early enough for Blizzard to change it if we give enough feedback right now.

I really hope they either give us a DW option, or finally change transmog rules in order to allow the use of DW transmog even if you have a 2h weapon equipped (would also be great for fury warrior). We know they can easily do it thanks to artifact weapons, they just need to flip the switch.
I am pretty sure they said right from the first set of interviews that Gladiator and Mythic mounts will be available as both regular mounts and dragon riding skins.
New world map is so hideous. I hope they redo the whole thing at some point.
That would seem to be the case.
Wouldnt be the first time the mount speed modifier wasnt accurate to what was being actually stated on the tooltip.

Hopefully we get a world map that is properly accurate to lore accurate sizes, instead of being accurate to in-game sizes. Always just makes it seem so weird when supposedly small island nation Kul Tiras is half the size of actual continent Northrend.

We don't have stylized maps accurate to that time period though, we have extremely detailed maps that accurately trace the outlines of the islands and continents we see.
Just seems weird that the maps are this weird in-game accurate map instead of a more lore accurate, or even stylized lore accurate one.

Given that a lore accurate one would be utterly useless ingame, i don't find that weird at all. The maps aren't really that detailed, though. And they don't accurately trace the outlines. They look similar, but you can find plenty of places where there's water or land when the map shows the opposite.
I've always assumed they only do this so people in the general audience don't look at the map and complain that "XYZ new continent is so small compared to everything else" when in reality that's not the case.
Artistically at least, its a abomination compared to the chronicles maps. I also can't stand the westward drift of Northrend.
