Overall gear quality

It has been a long 20 years, and we have all seen some great gear sets ( unless you play a hunter) but the same issues have always cropped up and that is scaling and attach points. worgen, orc, nightborn, etc all have massive shoulder armor, and i know its been a lowbrow meme for a decade longer than it was funny, but it is one of the great drawbacks of the game in regards to visual quality. The scaling is so far out that the armor pieces are literally floating off the character model. It is still possible to attain those intimidating silhouettes that the art team strives for without having house sized shoulder armor. It cant even be said that its the warcraft style. Its a scaling issue that was never looked into more than once. Attach points for shields, especially smaller ones have been skewed on most races since cataclysm, attaching the shield at the elbow of the model, causing clipping and the majority of the character’s arm to protrude further than the shield itself. Warglaves attach at the top of the characters back, etc. Lets not even get started on the round of weapons that the character’s hand sits inside the handle of the weapon model, also a blatant scaling error.

Helmets on worgen and tauren are too much to fix at this point.

The neglect and laziness just stacks higher upon itself.

Can’t play nightborne for this reason despite loving their lore
