Look guys transmog is good. It shoulda been in classic. In a MMO every single person should look different. Check out my xmog, I made the dorky yeti pieces look good lol.

itâs called inspecting people and you can see their gear now.

Itâs not 2004 anymore, nobody cares about the size of your epeen.
Even those few people who still do, in retail they have achievements and IO to tell that youâre serious without you having to look like a clown because the latest tier gear is worse than the last.
If your sole reason for driving a Ferrari is because few other people are able to do so, youâre a sociopath and your opinions are irrelevant.

Itâs called just looking and seeing. I know using your own two eyes is hard right?
Also the fact youâre that attached to an appearance in a video game means you should probably seek some help.
Right so why would people get so bent out of shape about how others like their characters showing up?
Being too lazy to inspect someone i guess, but isnât part of the appeal of classic that it doesnât reward laziness?
If you actually care about what someone is wearing you should still be inspecting them. The only really visible pieces are chest/shoulder/helm/cloak/weapon(two of which can be hidden). So yeah if you actually want to see what someone is wearing you still have to inspect regardless of whether they have transmog or not.
Yes. I agree completely.
Iâve played World of Warcraft literally since launch day. Things are not better simply by virtue of them having been or not been around at launch. That youâre completely floundering on giving concrete examples of how people being able to look how they want is âbad for the communityâ is proof enough of that.
Unless youâre not a tailor and want a profession thatâs useful beyond tier 1 of raiding progression. Kentic Amice are better shoulders. T1 3p is mediocre at best, especially if youâre foregoing like 50 extra +healing to get it.
First of all, tailoring is always useful because you can craft bloodvine and smite on Magdamar, Ebonrock, Flamegor and Fankriss, and mooncloth CD is always valuable. Otherwise, you can do as I and many other priests did: craft truefaith and then drop tailoring; you can use it without having the profession as long as you have crafted it.
If you are not willing to farm to afford crafting truefaith, thatâs fine. But the beauty of Classic and no transmog is that everyone will see how casual you are from a large distance.
+50 healing is 0 healing if you get sniped by someone with a 1.4 sec FH cast time.
Not having truefaith is âcasualâ but wearing the garbage prophecy shoulders isnât? Your headâs a bit too big for your shoulders, friend.
If youâre getting âsnipedâ while healing itâs because thereâs not enough healing required for it to matter, and your raidâs healers are poorly coordinated. If youâre that intent on padding meters, though, go on ahead.
Three piece T1 was BiS in phase 1. Get informed better.
Exactly, Classic is easy, no one is surprised.
No. It is just a consequence of the previous point.
I will. Thatâs literally the only thing to do on 90% of fights.
Says who? The people who write the same sorts of guides that insisted everyone would need nature resist gear for Huhuran? Lol.
Honestly? Itâs irrelevant, since the person I was responding toâs argument was that tier gear is super important and relevant to community or something. And the reality is that the only thing youâre advertising to people if youâre wearing full priest tier, or most full tier pre-Naxx, is that you have no idea what youâre doing.
Again you show ignorance, because FULL T2 priest set is BiS throughout the game, assuming no more than one priest uses it and the raid is not buff capped with it.
I can understand where OP is coming from, but this is one of those issues that has no real middle ground when itâs laid out. People who donât want transmog donât want anyone to have it, because itâs an environmental effect that theyâre looking for and if you give people the choice to ignore it, it effectively ruins the entire premise.
Iâm on the side of the road that likes transmog. I enjoy it, I think itâs added more to the game than it has taken away, and I think the sacrifice of what you wear = what is currently relevant is outdated. This game is old. Very old. Without transmog, there would be several expansions worth of gear and raids that would never be touched. As it is, transmog runs are a fun way for people to revisit old content in a lighthearted fashion and that is worth something.

Never said that. Iâm saying Classicâs design is better than retail because itâs better. IMO, of course. And no, itâs not nostalgia, which wore off a year ago. There are actually people who came back to play WoW because of Classic and continue to play it because they believe it to be a superior design than retail. And one of those superior design decisions is the absence of transmog, IMO.
Again, if you believe retail design is so much better, why are you here? Is retail not enough for you? Why do you feel the need to come over here and argue that Classic should be changed to be like retail, when, as I just explained to you, many people play it because itâs NOT like retail? Are you that greedy that you need both games changed to perfectly suit you? Why canât you just let the Classic enthusiasts have their game as they prefer it and you focus on playing your version?
This failed attempt at tu quoque is just sad.

Why is it sad to want to preserve Classicâs design features and not want retail features added? Can we not have two different versions of the game?
That isnât what I called sad.
Well, I think itâs sad that some retail players are so greedy that they want Classic changed to add retail features, and they canât accept the fact that some people prefer that they not be added and for legitimate reasons. Itâs disrespectful.

Although in Classic you look like a clown a lot of the time, those with sets look really good. You can tell after a while in Classic what someone has by the gear regardless if it matches or not, it looks cool because itâs associated with power. You know when you see a warrior has the Tier 2.5 shoulder, Lionheart helm, Flameguard Guantlets and the ZG main/offhand that heâs gonna be pulling some nice DPS.
You can be in a bunch of greens in retail and mog it to a Legion tier set and look awesome, but since itâs cosmetic, itâs meh.
I think the mixed look in Classic adds to itâs charm.
