Blizzard will never change. Stop removing stuff from the game.

I havenā€™t been on PTR, but if they changed Belf and Draenei, Iā€™m sure they changed Pandaren and Worgen and Goblins.

No! Iā€™m sick of FOMO :angry:

It may seem like easy money, but itā€™s very easy for a lot of people to make alts to send the clothes to a bank alt and sit on this stuff for years to come. I remember collecting those toys from the pre-legion event where we had to kill Dreadlords in the cities and collected quite a few of them, only to realize that everyone did this and the prices never really appreciated that much altogether. Too many people had the same idea. Even if these items are ā€˜no longer obtainableā€™ it probably wonā€™t cost more than a couple thousand gold to buy a set with how many people will be trying to sell them.

Itā€™s easier to design one set per class than one set for each class for each race. And its just one design per armor type, with colors changed. Itā€™s incredibly lazy and bereft of effort

What happens 11th of february?

That is the worst thing I have ever read about happening to wow. There is no reason to do this at all apart from making the game more home brand wow than ever.

Iā€™m ok not doing it as I really donā€™t think Iā€™ll be back in the game soon enough to profit over this. I mean itā€™ll prob be a vendor item anyways, and it canā€™t be mog able.

No reason to do this at all.

I got the bloodelf shirt from pre cataclysm still tradeable. Itā€™s recommended to make a starter gear char and undress them incase the same is happening here.

Waitā€¦do all races just get the same Human looking set based on class?

Why does Blizzard hate their own world so much?

Kind of feels like they applied the same homogenization of armor to armor type as they have to raid and dungeon setsā€¦ >_< On their own, some of these look nice, but definitely lacking in variety.

Wow, these new sets look terrible compared to the old ones.

Not to mention they lost their themed looks for each race. Iā€™m gonna miss the Gilnean stuff.

Please donā€™t worry that any original starter gear might go away forever or become very rare.

Weā€™re working on making all of those various older starter pieces available to players who want to obtain them.

Can you bring back the removed starter shirts from Vanilla? Iā€™ve been dying to get my hands on those but theyā€™re all millions of gold!

Awesome news! Now if you could just convince the devs to make them moggable, as well as bring back the old shirts that got removed!

And what about the Warlords of Draenor craftable colors?

You said during Beta that you would bring them back in a later patch. Is that still planned to happen?

I am still missing these colors : /

really glad this will be the case - hoping all common quality gear becomes transmogrifiable some day too. Thereā€™s a lot of neat Pandaren starting gear, the gilneas / worgen stuff, and of course other items like the Black Embersilk Gown and the worgen tophat and stuff. :eyes:

Thanks for the clarification tho, I was worried (and made a spreadsheet) about the items going away, I linked the reply in a big box so hopefully thereā€™s not like a massive influx of characters being created and reserving names in order to save the gear
