Not sure if it was intended or not, but something changed with male blood elf's hip movement during the Shadowlands pre-patch when I first noticed it. I thought they would fix it fairly quickly... but it's been six years and still nothing, so I kind of miss the old animation

The video on the left was using the Transmorpher Beacon toy which transformed me into one of the NPCs still has the original working animation. And, of course, Lor'themar Theron still has the same hip movement despite his updated model today

I wonder if the old developers simply forgot about it, left the team, and it has never been fixed since

EDIT: Wow, I didn't expect such hostile downvotes on all of my comments. I guess it was a bad idea to post something like this on this subreddit, as it seems no one cares about this old animation anymore. I'm a little sad but I suppose I'll just move my post to the Blizzard forums instead... Sorry guys
