Why doesn’t the game just do this?

Honestly, it would be less confusing and off-putting than what it is now…

The loot rules that are active in the game seem to disagree.

We’ve been through this before. Logically, transmog is not considered an upgrade according to the loot rules. That they’ve had enough time to correct it (which I agree) is irrelevant, since there are apparently higher priority things to spend time on. Things like… fixing shortcuts in dungeons to insta-kill you, recycling content, and drip-feeding brand new hair colors

I do not understand how people roll need when wearing more powerful gear

For A → B to be a true statement, B must be true when A is true. This is a conditional statement e.g. “If a shape is a square, it will have four equal sides at right angles to each other”. We can start with “If transmog was intended to be used by a Need roll, a player should be able to roll Need on an item they can equip, and do not own at the same or lower ilevel” You’re saying A is true. Yet B is not in the case for a Paladin and an Agi polearm. The item is equippable. Hence the statement…

Except I have to get the upgrade to get the mog and the system prevents me from doing that.

Yea, it’s a poorly designed system. Just saying that whole “ilevel is temporary, mog is forever” is a nice pithy saying, but ignores that getting an upgrade also gets you the mog. I’m all for Need/Greed being for the item and Transmog being for the mog. Two separate rolls would make a lot more sense and quell a lot more arguments.
