It’s not. That’s literally why transmog exists. So you can be “pretty” and “super optimized” at the same time.
You can’t tune for different forms of contents that require different things. Or rather, Blizz can’t.
Well people are complaining if what they do is bad.
Yes, they’re capable of doing something bad, even though it’s not the same thing as the thing that was done bad before.
That would be boring but okay.
Best would be if they added skins so you could choose, similar how Hunters can choose pet to tame.
Worst thing is if they don’t give you any choice and heavily tie you into theme you may not like, like summoning Undeads as Hunter. Which is definately not the class fantasy.
It’s like Shadowlands all over again, where because of covenants, Paladins were also forced into using Shadow Magic and it just feels weird.
It’s alright if it’s player choice. It’s not alright if it’s tied to power, thus not being player choice in the end at all, and you just have what blizzard decided is the best for the content you play.
