You don’t want that to happen. Let me tell you why. If they were tmoggable then you would see all kinds of people with them all over the place wearing them and this would make them less special. Just do what I do and if you have a legendary item you like, equip it regardless of the stat reduction. I use these level 90 glaives in most in game activities I do without issue and can stand toe to toe with those at my ilevel. However for serious content like mythic, raids and rated arenas you can’t use them there.

EDIT: Ignore this. Sintestra convinced me otherwise.

Yea i tend to duel with glaives and the daggers but i wanna be able to use them whenever tbh. I see where you’re coming from and i can respect that but i personally don’t care who has them and how they use them. Again, my opinion not trying to invalidate yours.

Why would I care if every scrub would use Legendaries as their transmog? I use transmog to reflect what I think looks good on my characters. I literally don’t care what anyone else uses as their transmog.

The whole, “everyone would use it” excuse is stupid in my opinion.

Just let the people who obtained a legendary on their character use it on that character. IE Only my Night Elf hunter has obtained Thori’dal The Stars’ Fury, and I would make the argument that only my Night Elf hunter could use that as Transmog, and none of my other hunters unless they run Sunwell to get it.

I agree they could be use as a transmog, but not for something so easy like a dungeon, you would at least need to already have her to be able to unlock. The azzinoth glaives you can use as a transmog if you have dropped both of them and complete black temple on the timewalking dificcult.

Mogs > Lore
Just my opinion

This same argument was made about transmog in general before it was ever announced, the day it was announced, and for over a month after it went live. And yet, people are not ALL running around in the same outfit. So this argument has already been proven false.

TBH I don’t see any particularly good reasons to limit tmog for “lore” reasons when you have people running around looking like farmers and strippers, or even entirely different classes.

Like, I can tmog this guy to look like a shaman, make my rogue look like a druid, turn my orc warrior into a paladin… It’s inconsistent at best to say that there is a lore reason to it - especially when classes can still mog their artifact weapons.

The crux of my argument is this: There are just as many ashbringers as there are thunderfuries in lore. One. Yet, a ret paladin can run around with their spiky neon corrupted ashbringer tmogged over their green 280 weapon, but someone who went through the trouble to get the real Thunderfury (which, unless it has changed since vanilla, was a very long process) can’t mog it even on the character that got it.

(FFS just let my rogue mog the glaives already.)

If this did happen, I can tell you right now that you’d have seen dozens of people wearing the mog I currently wear all over the place and it wouldn’t stand out like it does right now. The fact that most people aren’t willing to sacrifice stats to equip legendaries doing most of their in game activities is what makes these so valuable to those who just decide to equip them anyway.

So you don’t want legendary weapons to be moggable so YOU can feel special. That’s the same argument people were making about their “city outfits” before transmog was added.

Will you see a lot of people use legendary weapon mogs at first? Certainly! But after a few weeks, when the new, shiny feel of it wears off, people will choose other looks. Just like what happened with transmog from the beginning.

This is the dumbest argument I’ve ever seen.

So what? It’s better to simply hide and ignore them?

Ironically Rags hammer can be mogged, why isn’t everyone mogging it then?

but they did it with the legendary armor from legion making it xmoggable simply bcuz it was a reskin but still they have that in the system should be able to xmog leggos

And nothing like see Joe derp run around in those sets now after getting boosted to rank 8 in 1-2 days.

Adding more to this argument. This restriction should have been stripped from Legion.

Legendaries have no meaning or special feel anymore, Artifacts are more powerful lorewise and some artifacts (Thunderfury) are already moggable Legendaries.

There is absolutely 0 reason to keep this restriction. Literally, 0 reasons.

This is true. Kinda why I think we should not have been able to mog the artifacts either. But I think Blzz understood the tears would have been limitless if they made it where we could not use them for transmog.

My opinion is just as biased as yours. I want them remain as is so they can retain their specialness. You want them to be open to anyone at knowing that many people will use them because you simple don’t care if others are using them so long as it fits what are looking for. Its the long ongoing fight of between preserving the value of items, lore and general convience. However let me tell you this. There are a lot of demon hunters who don’t even think these glaives should be equippable by anyone except DH. Blizzard has also confirmed that they won’t be making leggos tmoggable ever in the future except in the case of glaives to DH.

That being said, apart of me does get you a bit. If gnomes were playable DH, I probably just simply wouldn’t care if others could use them, but at the same time using my same principle also has a lot to do with why only elf and elf can be DH. That being said, The sheer rarity of seeing someone wearing these who is not a DH right now or a tall race especially in present content is so rare it doesn’t matter.

How long have some of the NPCs in the game been using the same weapon(s)? Varian used the same swords for ages in the WoW timeline (read: YEARS). Transmog allows us to achieve the same concept, that our character, Heroes of the Horde/Alliance, have obtained an item that is so powerful we have not found a replacement, or that we have become so attached to it that we will not part with it, etc. And still, for others, they just like the look of a specific item.

You have to be pretty naive to fall for that. Blizzard also said vanilla servers would never happen. Considering how Rags hammer and Thunderfury are already moggable it seems their entire argument just fell flat on it’s face.

Sure, let’s restrict people from using Shadowmourne but it’s A-OK for literally every Paladin to use Ashbringer (one of the most iconic weapons in the entire lore of Warcraft, which may I add started as a Legendary) However, despite what people have said in the past- Not every Paladin is mogging it, strange right?

The restriction will go, simply because it’s now illogical in every sense of the word to keep em.

Half the Legendaries look outdated anyways, I can’t understand their hype. I would never mog Illidans glaives over literally every glaive in Legion which looks 3x better.
