The point I defended is that Dragons are in GW already, and there where not only living Dragons in Tyria, but there were future offspring, readily noticable when you meet glint for the first time. A PERFECT set up for future involvement with dragons.

As you might know, there are multiple storage agents in populated areas to make more room for players to access NPCs in town, furthermore, better access can be invented to avoid this problem altogether, this has next to nothing to do with whether dragons are an enjoyable or acceptable character option, only pointless and easily remedied difficulties.

A character class which causes extra blocking is in a possition to provide better defense via blocking to his allies. But if I didn't make it clear enough, the option to fly over other characters allows Dragons to remove character blocking from the equation, in their favor of course.

Note Glints "projection" in Droknars forge, Dragons could make an astral image to help them navigate peaceful areas.

And to update that issue, Dervish can turn into avatars of the Gods, Why would someone practice the art of turning into something less than the most powerful beings in exsistance? Imitating a dragon comes second to imitating a god, but being a dragon is just as good.
