You're lucky then! I zoom out while playing, sure, but I like to make
my charcters look good, transmog, and my own choice of face, hair etc,
I always pick a race/class/gender/face/hair combo that I like as a
unit. Only, a lot of my characters no longer look like my characters.

Well, it's done because when you look at a pandaren, and then look at
the worst of the old models (tauren and human male come to mind), the
difference is enormous, and a lot of us wanted our older races to look
as good as the pandaren. Just a shame a lot of them don't; a key part
of the process was supposed to be keeping the look and feel of our old
characters, and they just plain failed at that in a lot of cases.
