If they make the mistake then they out themselves as smooth brains and best avoid.
We need to stop catering and hand holding stupidity. Allow natural selection back and cast them aside…
Id rather idiocracy remain a movie.
I don’t think someone having a bad time in a video game is going to lead to the societal changes your referring to.
It will however lead to them having less fun in that videogame.
It’s been known since day 1, tier is 5 specific pieces only, if you changed a cloak or belt or something random into tier that’s on you.

Nah just in general of people being that mentally lazy…
They would probly be bad players…
Real life example theres an idiot who tries to grill in his apartment nearly burned it down. Could have killed someone. Now we all gotta but renters insurance.
I’m certain this would not be difficult to include in the pop up.
[IF YOU CHOSE THIS ITEM IT WILL NOT RECEIVE A TIER BONUS! IT IS ONLY FOR TRANSMOGRIFICATION PURPOSES]
[ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WILL USE YOUR COOLDOWN WITHOUT PROVIDING TIER SET BONUSES]
The problem with that, is what do we do when they ignore the next “are you sure” feature we slap on? Do we just continue until we reach the point where you need to summon a GM to walk you thru it? At some point, personal responsibility has to come into play. It’s not like they have to look this information up on WoWhead or something. It is built into the damn conversion interface…
That’s not true. It changes stats.
Another one of these threads? Dang. All you have to do is pay attention and read the tooltip when using the catalyst. I’m not sure Blizzard has the resources to come hold everyone’s hand and help them sound out their words while they’re playing. This is getting ridiculous. It’s these players’ own fault. Suck it up, know better, and do it right next week. Ugh.
Can’t go expecting anyone to do that apparently. They gotta have 5 warnings because they can’t be bothered to look at the item.
Look, I get and completely understand where you are coming from.
I had to sign a form stating I would not set off fireworks inside of my apartment when I moved in. This means that someone did, or they wouldn’t require the form. People are dumb and do dumb things.
BUT if a whole bunch of people do something dumb on accident because they didn’t understand something it might not be a bad idea to put something in place to make it clear not to do it.
There’s probably a lot of “Oh wow, I can put tier on belts too? This is awesome!” going on as well.
I guess I can’t be bothered to give a darn then. Stinks for them.
LOL 
That is amazing!
You didn’t have to read a single word out of game to understand this system. The converter itself shows you the item will turn into, you can read the stats and perks the items give you before making it. Also on top of that you can check the dg/raid journal, or if you have any of the 5 piece so far, the tooltip for set pieces literally list out which 5 pieces give the bonus. All of this information is given totally in game.
Can’t speak for others of course, but I agree calling people who make a mistake stupid isn’t helpful. Everyone makes mistakes, that’s a totally fine normal thing.
What is stupid is people making mistakes then turning around and blaming Blizzard for their own self inflicted wound.
Screwing up is fine, screwing up and refusing to admit it and putting the blame of your mistake on others is not fine, and worthy of ridicule.

It shows you what items go toward bonuses and what doesn’t .
Gauntlets= Gloves
Tassets = legs tasset
[ tas-it ]
NOUN ARMOR.
either of two pieces of plate armor hanging from the fauld to protect the upper parts of the thighs.
Sallet= Head
sal·let
[ˈsalət]
NOUN
historical
- a light helmet with an outward curve extending over the back of the neck, worn as part of medieval armor.
Hauberk = chest a tunic
Pauldrons = shoulders .
All of those go towards bonus
Any thing not of those 5 will show stat changes and can not be changed into items from another slot .
Putting feet into catalyst will not change them to head, shoulders, chest , hands or legs. The items needed for the bonus. it does help towards completing the tier transmog set and bis .
Careful, Ragemode’s brain will melt if you use common sense.

It gives you the countdown and shows you the piece it’s turning into.
I don’t buy most of these posts in GD on the subject .
I will give a pass to those using the CS and Bug forums but I honestly believe in GD it is being used as the latest troll topic.

That’s what the item preview and countdown timer is.
Nah, I just used mine on an appropriate piece so I didn’t have to bother. 
I derped and wasted my catalyst on boots. Asked a GM and they told me no refunds.
Live and learn.
