While traveling through the various places within this game, how often do you stop and admire the transmogs of other players? I never really do, unless I see something unique…and I don’t mean a weapon that looks like other weapons, but has a different hue. I mean something overly unique, and even then I look for a couple of seconds and move on about my business.
I can say that the time I spend setting up the way my character looks engulfs with enormity the amount of time I actually notice and really even think about someone else’s transmogs.
So really, the transmogs are more about how we feel about ourselves than how others think about us.
Always. I will stop, inspect, check out the changes, and often send a tell or just give them a heads up in open chat. Love a character that really puts together a good set.
There’s a guy on my server who names his characters after Star Trek characters and has an absolutely incredible Picard mog. The first time I saw him was at the mission table in Ardenweald and I was so thrilled I snapped a screenshot and tweeted about it, lmao.
To the OP: I rarely inspect people in game, but that’s usually because I’m always just doing my own thing. I sometimes look up a mount if I see a cool-looking one. However, I often do look at transmogs here on the forums, especially if the thread is about transmog (I figure most of the posters in such threads probably have nice mogs).
I usually have the camera zoomed out pretty far when I play so it’s really hard to pay much attention to others’ transmogs - once in a while, yes, but not often.
It’s like the time I went to Switzerland. Every other person had a rollex or balenciegas. At a certain point seeing a bum was more impressive because seeing one in Geneva (where begging is illegal) was more unique.
But I appreciate unique styles or some item I haven’t seen. I do inspect and take a screenshot. It got problematic as point, had over 100 screenshots over just different mogs items I didn’t have.
I often will check other characters out. Especially dwarves, since they are my favorite. I feel a bit disappointed whenever one hides their beard, though. lol Also look up players from the forums as well.
