"wearable" like heritage sets?
This does lead credence to the black dragon race in 10.0 since they can technically assume the race of whatever they like.
tbh, i dont think that much ppls are still here. imo mmoc lost percental same amount of ppls wow lost. so i dont think there are much ppl that still care. foremost when i look at how absurd less comments some blue posts have.
in short: i dont think many ppl care anymore tbh.
Historically, the Deluxe Edition mounts tie in to the expansion's theme. The Animawyrm for SL, the Raptor/Horse for BfA, the Felstalker for Legion, the Raven for WoD, the Quilen for MoP...
If this is indeed the Deluxe bundle being uncovered, the mount being "drakemountemerald" would point toward dragons having a notable presence, either as a commonly encountered creature or being tied to a faction we'll be working with.
No. But, then again, we do not know for sure if this dragon mount is going to be a CE bonus or another 6-month subscription reward or any other promotion. It matches how it happened to Shadowland's collector edition, but, again, we cannot know for sure until it happens.
And even if it is a dragon, it doesn't mean that the next expansion would be dragon-themed. It could just very well be a dragon themed after the next expansion's theme.

Yes, but even assuming that this dragon mount is a CE mount, it doesn't necessarily mean that the expansion is going to be dragon-themed. After all, BfA wasn't dinosaur/horse themed.
Instead of dragons, I would prefer events in Elwynn, and knights or gladiators... why not? We have to praise the alliance with its iconic classes at once, where are the knights? xd
BFA was themed around the kultiran who used horses, and the znadalari who literally had dinosaurs EVERYWHERE i feel like you are being EXTREMLY disengnious at the point, its obvious if a dragon is the collectors edition mount it will be the dragon isles, it is also obvious this is the CE mount, as our next store mount will be a tiget for the year of the tiger which is next month. not a dragon.
1) By your logic regarding BfA, that means we'll just have a faction of dragons, not that the expansion itself is going to be about dragons.
2) And you're calling me disingenuous. Again, just because this mount is a dragon, even if we assume it's for the next expansion's CE, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to be an expansion themed around dragons. It could very well be a dragon themed after the next expansion story.
Thats a strawman; it's not because of laziness; the mechanic is worse than that. It's too repetitive too.
It's more fun to move because of new novel mechanics.

That's your fault though. Sarcasm on the internet is almost impossible to be derived by plain text without looking at your facial expressions or without knowing you first or without showing it explicitly (e.g. with /s or smilies or emojis etc.).
And it doesn't help that almost everyone else is not sarcastic.
Hmm, i wonder if it's possibly hinting at a dragon isles/ infinite dragonflight expansion.
Could be a chromatic drake which would explain the colour variations, similar to how the enchanted fae dragon and ancient work.
probably reaching, but it's just a thought.
Everyone reads "drake" but no one pays much heed to "emerald"
We want dragons
No, my theory is that blizzard marketing team are hyping the next expansion reveal to make it an " hot topic " and starting a buzz, this creating false account and putting fake expansion leak everywhere. it's been like this every expansion, this time it's not different.
There's literally never been any proof that the bevy of leaks are from false accounts made by Blizzard. They're traditionally more likely to be fan-fiction or people looking for their 15 minutes.
Social media and astroturfing generally doesn't work this way, especially when 95% of the time a response to a false expansion is negative. Anything actually sounds worse than it is when boiled down to a bullet point list, so it if anything detracts from how something is received.
There are no concrete proof...But like all the time, all those fake expansion topics blooms a month prior an expansion reveal, and this is before there aren't even any hint about it. When there were blizzcon it was still logical, but those past years, even when there were no blizzcon, expansion leaks always happened massively a month before announcement.
This time, those " leaks " began even before there was the " collector's edition" mount datamined those past weeks. which enforces my suspicions about a very strange timing for the coming of those " leaks ", and you forget than in those " fake leaks " most of the time there was the real one somwhere.
It's can also be a move by blizz to " counter " any inside leak that would spoil the thing by drowning the real leak in the mass of false one , too.
