They're wearing pants for one.. and the body structure is built to walk/run on 2 legs which im pretty sure defines what blizz considers humanoid and beast, and Wain is a damn smart cookie, he keeps in somewhat(?) contact with Noah who works for blizzard(? just wanna confirm that, i still dont know much about the mysterious Noah)

It's a humanoid race. That's basically set in stone....

Yeah. They already confirmed all this at Blizzcon if I remember correctly.

Yeah, I don't think this would be tameable.. X: humanoid race and all.
Edited out an accidental angry face.

I think she is trying to say you basically repeated an earlier post.

Well actually no, because Tallstriders and raptors walk/run on 2 legs and no one can deny that they are beasts.
Being bipedal (2 legged) alone is not enough to be classified as humanoid - there has to be some anthropomorphic (human-like) features present e.g: hands with opposable thumbs, a face with human proportions, an upright body posture (which tallstriders/raptors don't have, they stand like ostriches with their spines roughly horizontal), or maybe some measure of intelligence beyond what you'd see in a beast.

there are plenty of tamable beasts that walk on 2 legs and if you read the thread it says POSABLE money skins take off the clothing and you eziely have a tamable beast

I highly doubt they'd ever be a tameable model. The two new races these included along with the fish men seem to be the wolvar and gorlocs of this expansion. You dont see tamables of those races running around. The only thing I'd say is possible are mini pets like in wotlk - new childrens week anyone?
