100% agreed.
It’s so stupid that they allow us to use the flower crowns all year now, but not the rest of the holiday mogs. Like, what’s so bad about being able to wear a Santa hat during anytime of the year?
Also, let us transmog the Vile Fumigator’s Mask already! I remember their was a time where it was actually transmoggable (I believe it was during a PTR for one of the WoD patches), and I was so happy, but then Blizzard said no and took it away from us…

The post before yours has the mindset of limiting everyone’s gameplay because they don’t want to see a Santa suit.

Yeah, no. Blizzard doesn’t do this with overwatch and no other game I can think of does this either.
The way I see it, doing this takes out the will to get any of the event cosmetics (which are already too much work to get anyways) because they’re only usable for like a week or two.

Yeah I used to be like that until Blizzard added a yeti suit with a backstage pass hanging around its neck. I’m going to say that the Santa suit looks more lore friendly than that.

These, the “forever” lovely rose, all of it. Ban the restrictions.
Yup, blizz removed any pretense of “muh immershun” with that yeti transmog.

The bear with the large word “BLIZZCON” on it helped too.
Edit: My bad, it’s their 30th anniversary on its butt. “MAH EMERZION”

Love your outfit! I agree. The more choice the better.

So then you can’t do dungeons or raids and be sexy?
And some people don’t want players to transmog at all because they can’t eyeball peoples progress through gear

Overwatch is an FPS with zero in-game story (outside of 1 event annually) and you’re using preset characters. Immersion does not play a factor. Skins, including Holiday Skins, are also literally how they monetize the game. Of course they’re not restricting it.
The Holidays existed before Transmog. Why wasn’t it a problem then? Again, the gear exists. Wear it around town or for RP or whatever if you want to. You don’t have to wear the bunny ears while raiding.
In fairness I already addressed that.
I was talking about me and I was just reminiscing on how I used to be like you.

Is the sexy one behind the stick figure or something?

And you don’t have to look at someone else’s mog if you don’t want to. What gives you the right to dictate how others should be able to express themselves IN A VIDEO GAME?

I don’t.
I can only voice my opinion, and you’re far too worked up over this.
Anyway, my opinion is that I prefer the game world to take itself a little more seriously and people running around fighting in Holiday costumes goes against that.
FWIW the Lovely Dresses are… a little more borderline for me. They’re certainly not as bad as Santa/Pumpkin/Ears, and it’s not like normal Cloth Robes are significantly better in terms of making sense in combat (even for casters).
But they fall under the umbrella of ‘Holiday Outfits’ and that’s realistically the level the conversation has to take place on.

Yeti transmog. Your point is moot.

We can already dress silly, and that dress isn’t even silly. Has anybody ever seen Queen Azshara as an elf?
Tell me she looked out of place while being the strongest mage in existence. She didn’t, she looked as powerful as she was in that dress.
We need more dresses.

You want to look “sexy” while fighting monsters 1000 times your size?
Being homeless as a murderhobo in WoW? Hardly ever bathing, forget laundry and only once every few years using a bathroom?
Okay.
While I don’t really care either way, thing is Blizzard is using the mogs to try to make the holidays special.
Give people something to work toward, look forward to. If you remove the holiday restrictions, you’ve removed part of what makes the holidays special.
Then what do you do? You complain that the holidays aren’t special anymore.
And it will be very unsexy even by fruit bowl standards!
