Please allow Grey/White items + Starter Gear Transmog

Yes transmog was introduced in OG cata but this is not the OG cata version of transmog that was introduced. Tell us you didnt play cata without telling us you didnt play cata.

Lol none of my chars have transmogs.

Yeah because they’re doing the retail version of transmog but its not fully complete. Which is why I made this thread to provide feedback about it. Thats how this works

Imagine if blizz just released it the way it was wouldnt need this post.

We also probably wouldnt need you screaming for class balances considering that isnt exactly 1:1 with vanilla in the first place.

Class balances are more useful then transmog

Thats cool. Then go make a thread about asking for class balances then rather than come here impeding on this one that has nothing to do with what you want.

It concerns something I don’t want, so I’m expressing my opinion against it.

Burning?

Oh now it makes sense why your posts drop my IQ.

You kids will learn one day. :+1:t3:

We can clearly see you wearing gear on warcraftlogs from bosses you haven’t even killed.

Complains about the catch up mechanic after using said catch up mechanic.

Cata is retail you absolute goofus lmao :joy:

I was intrigued by the post, so this is my one post on the retail forums. Cya!

I know you’re being lazy here with avoiding providing legit criticism against Transmog and only spouting nonsensical “retail bad” rhetoric, so I’ll do your job for you.

One of the legit arguments against it is that it somehow muddies the World PvP scene where you cant visually discern opponent’s power level on their gear. And my response to that is that World PvP has been dead for a long while in these servers so this circumstance is even more miniscule than it already is. And even if the World PvP scene thrived, whats even the point? Just to have those few seconds of knowledge before engaging with another player? So basically you’re holding back a whole fun character customization feature just to justify those precious few seconds in PvP?

And then theres the other big argument where transmog kills satisfying visual progression on other players and to that I so somewhat understand, however I have a couple of counter points.

For starters this is an MMO and something that people have huge satisfaction for is to customize their avatars in whatever way they want and this desire has continually increased over the years so ignoring it isnt viable in the market. Second, you quickly run into the problem where by endgame, every player looks too samey to each other and the lack of visual identity and diversity is lessened because of it, which is one of the major reasons why the developers even did this feature in the first place. And third it brings extra value into the items rather than just numbers; and what I mean is that people do appreciate a lot of the looks of these items and having to replace them to something thats statistically better but visually a downgrade (ex Paladin Tier 2 to Tier 3) is big let down and Im sure this feeling has happened to a lot of players who played Vanilla - WoTLK.

However despite all of this, the strongest argument is the visual progression of other players imo and like I mentioned it IS something thats cool to see, so what I would suggest is for ultimately Blizzard to just implement a hide transmog toggle in the options menu, so players that do care about the World PvP or the visual progression can choose to see everyone’s actual gear while players who care about their character’s appearance can keep it however they want. This has been done before on some private servers and everybody is happy.

Wall of Text TLDR. I just want the expacs to be released in the og states. no new retail trash or catch up unneeded catch up mechanics.

Too bad for you since theyre not ever going to stop adding changes to this game whether good or bad.

Still waiting on glaive transmog, like every other legendary item transmog they added to cata classic.

Yeah except for glaives are on retail and you actually have to do something in retail to unlock the transmog.

Just because you might not agree with someone does not mean you need to stoop to insults and belittling of others sounds like you need a vacation from the fourms.
