Old forms dying!

As a long time druid (2+ years), I've lived with the old Night Elf Cat and Bear form and I never complained. They never looked bad to me. When the new skins for the cats and bears came out, I was ecstatic! They looked awesome and at the time, I thought we could choose the colors in demand. When I found out they were linked to to hair color (for Night Elves), I was like...sure..I can always go to the barber shop and change my hair color to get the other colors, no big deal.
When I found out earlier that the old forms were going to get sent to the graveyard, I was enraged! I lived with those forms for sooooo long. I love those models so dearly, its become part of my WoW experience. Now when 3.2 comes out, its just not going to feel the same. The original skins are as much to me as the type of pet is to a Hunter. Most Hunters I know like a certain pet better not because of stats or anything like that, but because of their appearance.
I almost...almost feel like going away from WoW because it feels like Blizzard is misinterpreting our wants and twisting them to an abominable desire. Many of my fellow Druids in game wanted different looks for our forms based on experience (in a way: levels) so that a level 10 Druid's Bear looks different from a level 80 Druid's Bear.
If you agree or even semi-agree then please post your comments/thoughts/questions regarding this topic.
tl;dr This Druid is sad =(

While it would be cool to have the old form there, just for a nostalgic sense, it wouldn't be practical. If every hair/fur color is assigned to a color of bear/cat, what hair or fur color could we choose to have the old style models?

Be glad you can change yours. As a tauren, I won't be able to change them ( linked to skin color ).

I understand where he's coming from if he liked the old ones and that soon they will be gone forever. I can't fully get behind him for one reason, he's a night elf and as I have played both sides of Druids I have always like the night elf cat. Tauren however is god awful hideous and I can't believe it's gone this long without a change. It looks like a wingless starving wyvern with horns.
That was the only thing holding me back from leveling my druid since i switched to horde months ago so im very much looking forward to 3.2. I just wish they would give us some ETA on when its coming !

Isn't that a bit extreme? Off all the reasons to leave WoW, your thinking of doing it because they're making the forms more attractive, and giving us a larger selection of choices with them?

OP sounds like a nazi IMO.....

Solution: Allow Tauren to change their model to the original Beta Tauren model at the barber shop and have that be the correlating "color"
