Yeah. Pretty sure that’s the OPs complaint as well, that it’s generic human themed armor for every race.

I’m not sure anymore. GD has gone full stupid lately and folks are getting high off trolling 
.
They are at least not removing the old starting pieces so that’s nice at least.
The update reminds me of the human themed gear we got for Cata when leveling in the ‘updated’ world.

It was a honest question. Why would they change these? But what ebs.
it’s awful. that’s all. I wish it was green to at least transmog it, if you like it.
I like the newer one better, i am mad that is not green quality to be able to transmog it.
Worry not, pandarens and worguens are save.
Well this isn’t their first time updating the starting gear, but luckily they’re at least making these pieces still obtainable. As to why? Idk, Blizzard updates random things all the time like Mount animations and what not.

You already got that answer. Because they do go back and update these things. Sometimes gradually, sometimes in huge sweeps like the Cata world revamp.

They could make the old ones green for transmog.
in CATA they update it it too, so the ones that were shirts, became ches pieces for example, and gave a tiny bit of armor.
its all a conspiracy blizz made me believe this as well as the forums.
Cause the original ones are probably 10 years old, if not older. Depending on whether or not they got updated in Cata.
This game is 15+ years old, you can’t expect everything to stay the same. Especially if it wants to continue being an active thing.
Updating assets, models and textures is super important for a game as old as WoW.
Also it’s been confirmed that the old ones will still be obtainable in some manor. Although probably still not T-moggable.
I hope at some point we can T-mog white items.

Same, there are a lot of very nice white items that are fairly useless unless your majorly into genuine RP and switching gear for aesthetics.
Which personally I don’t have the patience or bag space for.
When people use this word, it pretty much is them outing themselves as a troll.
Ugh…

They’ve been planning this change since before the controversy if I recall. I’m not sure why.
To be honest, this should have been a thing a long time ago. I definitely agree!

It’s really low quality, and not transmoggable. That could have been changed.
Since the first thing I do on new character is put on some heirlooms and then mog it, I doubt I would have noticed any changes.
They aren’t updating anything. They created new armor, and the old armor will be unobtainable next patch, temporarily. I don’t know when they will come back. Kaivax told me that the WoD crafted appearances will come back, but they still haven’t.
Devs love wasting working hours on unimportant things.
