and if you add transmog carrying over to retail, you’re literally screwing over the target playerbase of classic. those who want an authentic, community driven experience. so that sounds like a good reason to not have this system in.

I know exactly the targeted product is. But having a cosmetic option for retail upon earning will not change gameplay. The targeted audience won’t play retail and is not enough to sustain the product has most people have moved on or will not stay because of Blizzard current reputation
Old School RuneScape is an example of Old School RuneScape and nothing else. What happens or doesn’t happen with that game has no impact on WoW: Classic.
Classic will not change. If it does then it’s no longer Classic.

Well at least yours is less far-fetched, but god forbid the forums aren’t a collective hivemind.

but it would change gameplay. you’re literally increasing turnaround. you are making a change to classic to appeal to the non target demographic of classic at the expense of the target demographic. think about that for as econd.

None which are relevant to the context of implementing a form of transmog in Classic or any other changes to Classic WoW, no.
If it’s so “awful” then why are you subbed? The primary reason is nostalgia, and collecting items is an experience in classic that role players are already did.

My bad for not reading more into that comment. I agree, it really isn’t a good argument/comparison is lacking.
As much as I love transmog I wouldn’t advocate for it on Classic
and yet this change would literally hurt the classic community.

The Target audience won’t stick forever. You are thinking short term

Bingo bingo. One year down the line watch how their tune will change. Or just watch the server die and them be happy they cut off their noses to spite their faces. /popcorn

How so? In what way would doing old content the way it was meant to hurt the community? You are sounding like a gate keeper
They did. Ion, Brian, and John all said this wouldn’t happen. There’s nothing to discuss. Play Classic for Classic.

I’m not subbed though?

That’s what you’re doing though. Unlocking transmogs from Classic to retail is a form of transmog in Classic. Indirect or not, it’s transmog. It doesn’t belong in Classic.

You can’t post unless you have a subscription (Unless they changed, if so I retract my words)
you can post in classic without a sub. and many of us aren’t subbed.

For one, private is free, so they can physically stick longer. And for two it isn’t being run by a company that simply cannot get way from bad press
