I would love to see them do something like this when they do the new talent trees, but the issue here would be that not every archetype would be represented.
However, since I have so many hunter alts, I can tell you I’m reallllly tired of shoulders with eyeballs or helms with rhino horns.
I wouldn’t disagree at all (Uldum zone questing says hello) but they have also remained consistent in their “Why this armor type, can’t wear that armor type” argument.
They have only ever said (repeatedly) that they want classes to remain identifiable and that for ex: a mage wearing plate armor and wielding a fish mace, would break immersion. That is their reasoning for not opening up allowing classes to mog any armor type.
I’m just saying, if that continues to remain their entire defense for not allowing it?
i hope you know, Norman, that you inspired me to modify a joke in one of the Tirisfal Theater Troupe’s plays to be about how trading post armor lets hunters wear Warden plate.
I wish the Garlic off-hand was a belt decoration, though, because then I could cosplay the Fanatic from Darkest Dungeon.
When we got the Meat Wagon mount, I started jokingly roleplaying a demented food truck vendor. I ended up enjoying the chaos so much, it went on for quite some time.
Yeah these things they keep releasing very much refutes the reasoning they use to justify keeping such restrictions in place. Perhaps in time they will come to the same conclusion. If I can be an orc mage in Warden gear, I should be able to rock some plate armor on a human priest. It’s far more conceivable for the world to have that than the former.
