I forgot that this was a bug at this point. It’s a feature now

I don’t understand what causes it, grabbing info from the wrong back up? Doesn’t really bother me much cause it’s not too common and doesn’t affect much.
How game-breaking is a bug that occasionally shows you your last transmogrified outfit? How often are you logging into the game only to stare at the character selection screen? What is this first world problem? Why does this irritate you so much to make a thread about it on the forums but not, presumably, submit it as a bug report?

Good question. It’s pretty weird. Although, oddly, I’ve found that if I save my gear sets and assign them a transmog set, I stop getting the bug.
It actually happens a lot that I glance at a character, realizing that I thought I had transmogged their appearing but apparently forgotten, and then see that I don’t need to do transmog, it was just Blizzard’s way of adding 3 minutes of /timeplayed to my daily routine.

Right now the bug makes me laugh a bit as my priest has T’uuru mogged despite having a dagger and off-hand because Legion artifacts, and the screen will show her holding the staff and her off-hand.
Blizzard is not forcing you to log into a character.

Nor are they forcing you to post here suggesting that someone who sees a character on the character screen in a messed-up mog and logs into that character to fix it, only to find the mog has already been updated, is playing the game wrong.
Feel free to never log in again if you think it’s wrong for other people to log in.

Usually it’s when people get disconnected or there’s an error writing data when they log out. The character select screen doesn’t poll the server constantly (because that would be a waste of resources), it goes off of its memory of what you had the last time you logged off. If something goes wrong logging out, this is what happens.

It happens even when I log off normally.

Mine does that but if you’re in a mog long enough it’ll stop.
I keep getting that issue too.
Just log in and log back out normally fixes it.
What lovely strawmen.
