They could deffo be worse.. but tbh im glad my druid is Tauren..

instead of complaining about the feminine touch they have gotten just be glad that they look better than the current skin.. i would much rather have the kinky white/pink kitten than the old wierd looking one.. but that might just be me ^^

Nothing like complaining about the developers' hard work to show your support, amirite?

What's with all the pinks and purples? Well, this is a race who's color schemes are almost dominated by the color purple with highlights of pinks, violets, greens, and the occasional blue... which all blend together. The bears weren't much better to be honest in terms of coloration... again, a racial theme in coloration. At least there is variation now with coloration. Honestly, if the coloration is based upon the skin and hair colors of the druid in question (just a theory... haven't looked too seriously)... then if your druid doesn't use a pale skin tone with pink hair, then you shouldn't have a problem. But hey, to each their own.

You're kidding, right? May I point out to you that female Tauren druids have ALWAYS had to put up with a maned lion (female lionesses don't have manes), and now their cat form also has a nose ring (which only male Tauren have)?

As far as gender-confusion goes, Taurens obviously have it worse. And I think these new Night Elf kitties are very sleek and beautiful; the old one was mangy-scruffy-nasty! If you're gonna be that nitpicky and insecure in your masculinity, then go roll yourself a big ol' ugly manly Orc warrior or something.

Nothing to do with your lol "insecure in masculinity" its about fact that ONLY the Female NE have the tatoo around eyes but now every kitty model has them. Never played any horde since beta so thats choice you made to play the race. I never had much a problem with Old Model myself then again I never really was really into the whole "have to look good" could have been catshead on a stick for weapon and dead animal skins for armor (after all thats what leather is anyway) long as it had good stats. But to be changed so much that you are pretty much turned into a "girl" for shapshifting I have a problem with. NE Female markings Necklace and bracelets.. I suppose next will be Boomkins in tie-dyed pink shirts with high heels on.

Again, ONLY male Tauren have nose rings, but now all Tauren cats have them. They didn't before we made this choice, but now they do, and you know what? We'll stick with it, because it's not like they put a big ol' dangling meat stick on out kitties' bellies, and they didn't put huge jiggling knockers on Night Elf kitties either, so what's the huge honkin' deal?

As was so elegantly pointed out before, the new NE kitties have pinks and purples because, surprise, that just happens to be the base skin color for your race! NOT because they're girly! And in my opinion, they are not wearing necklaces for femininity, but rather glowing pendants to signify mysticism (another very important part of the NE race in general).

And when was the last time you saw a girly-girl wearing "bracelets" made of thick leather and studded with metal spikes? Those are gauntlets of sorts, my friend, and if they're too "girly" for you then I hope your manly toons don't have bracers equipped (stats be damned!), because they're the same darn thing.

You're entitled to your opinion, but seriously, the new models are a huge improvement, and these kitties are no more "girly" than the male NEs in general are! They're elves, they're sleek and elegant, they're ALWAYS going to have some degree of softer edges, and you knew that when you made one. But if you're going to abandon the awesomesause that is cat form for no other reason than you don't like the new models, then feel free, because a lot of folks are going to roll new Ferals JUST to get these wonderful new forms, and you manly Boomkins can enjoy your originality.
Well Pleased

I am well pleased. Definite improvement. I wonder if the markings near the eyes will change depending on the markings of your character?
