You’re not the only one whose bothered by this. The gazelle in Voldun make me sick.
"You know you that bitch when you cause all this conversation."
Talking about updated models, I was recently leveling in Searing Gorge and noticed that the fire spider models there were recently updated. Really stands out compared to everything else.

It's called inconsistency and lazyness. Blizzard designed a new whole set for the human footmen and 90% of them are still using the old outdated one. I could understand in old zones but no, even in BFA ones. SO what's the point ?

Ogre camp near Witherbark village. Doesn't look that bad, but still inconsistent.
And what's wrong with original banner? Don't see point even to claim that new much better I much more prefer this way:+ to handle this problem, since raptors (and other creatures) have different effects and color/art scheme on them. I won't be surprised if "replacement" will offend someone like (for ex.) hunters.
You are in vain trying to invade sphere of "opinions/preferences" because Blizzard seems're are very bad in make "high-poly original versions" and this appeared in most frustrating occurrence in game for me, I'm talking about new character models. So don't expect that everyone will support you in full. Banner is a trifle of course, nothing significant, but I'm talking about principle/approach for this matter.
ps. There is nothing bad with having both versions (even within same location), more isn't less. And no, toggle won't help.
I know this, that's why I tried to make it not offensive, just a remark. I hope at least, that I did

Oh my... Yep, it does! I'm greatful I haven't discovered this myself. I really don't get it. Do you think there is someone at Blizzard thinking "Oh yeah let's mix models and assets from 2005 with the ones from 2018, that way it will give more diversity and nostalgia to the game!"? Because really all this "let's mix the very old with the very new" is absurd.
Let's be clear on this: I'm not pushing my views on anyone, and that's specifically why I made this thread, to see if some people disagreed or didn't care at all. To me, a high-poly model will always be better than a crappy one from 2005. But that's my personnal opinion, not the truth nor a fact. I can completely understand if people would rather keep old models if they're very attached to it. I still think it's inconsistent to mix both, but I'm very interested in hearing from players who don't mind/would rather keep the old models!

I, as a game artist, have wondered this myself... it annoys me greatly, seeing as they already have new and better models.
I don't get it...
Same for the structures and trees.
I alwayd assume they use it because some players enjoy the bostalgia kicks they give. Especially the raptor mount.
Problem isn't that models become new, real problem is that they don't making it proper way. There's no need to discredit people. Devs doing this wrong in most cases (different animations, geometry/shapes and colors/art) and it's obvious, that's all
Why blame those who didn't want these changes? They weren't against "add more", just against "replace stuff that they liked" for no reason.
Wrong way is change. Since oval stays oval, red stays red, black remains black, canonical animations remain canonical (only they add more features that aren't reflecting in these basic canonical animations) and so on. Simple. But, well, if you decide to "remake" something, then find the time to keep original for those who preferred this particular species... and that is how to make it proper but since they change originals not in accordance with how they looked before (as I said above), they have to face such problem. This is entirely their fault, this is result of incompetent work.
The fact that you're trying to be rude doesn't make you right, only shows absence of any your interest in having useful discussion

It pisses me off more than it should.
I am leveling my Mag'har trough the Ghostlands and reached the Quel'Dorei village with the High Elf Ghosts. And they use the old OLD High Elf Model.
This piece of shit.
The horribly mangled white Night Elf models. We're now at the second upgraded High/Blood Elf models yet these guys still look like they're from 2007...
No, that's actually an insult to 2007 Video game graphics. These look like N64 shit. FUCK.
