So after weeks of testing by 3 of my friends and me, i can confirm that it is INTENTIONALY made that when you solo older raids for Transmog, you INTENTIONALY get things that you cant wear.
Cloth gets mostly Plate/Mail/Leather
Leather gets Plate/Mail/Cloth
You get the point.
I feel like my time is wasted, my effort is meaningless because this is something made INTENTIONALY.
Why arent we able to unlock the appearence of an item that drops even tho we cant wear it with a certain character?
Why did i get the Warlock Helmet 7 times with my Warrior and not a single time with my Warlock?
I already have the item, why cant i just unlock its appearence.
I hate this, i dont care about the mounts having low drop chances, but transmog? Is transmog really that gamebreaking?

Tell me about it.
It took me almost an year to get the warlock chest piece from molten core(i farmed on 3 chars)
Not to mention that the warglaives from BT dropped on my pala, mage, but never on my dh…
yeah, the drop rates are an insult to players.

I hate all the restrictions that we have, its so pointless, not to mention trying to explain that all to a new player, they are confused out of their minds with all the “systems” and restrictions that we have.
But at the end of the day, i think we all need to see that this is just a game, something that i enjoy after my whole day at work.
Why am i getting restricted in so many ways unnecessarily…

In my opinion Blizzard should allow every drop to directly be unlocked in the outfit tab. It must not matter if you can wear it or not.

Very true, i mean you got the item in your inventory, why does it matter if its a cloth piece for a leather wearer.

that feature is a default in other new games. Maybe blizz will catch up

I agree with you. I really like the GW2 system.
I really don’t mind that i can’t transmog a cloth on leather BUT if a cloth drops on my leather character it should be unlocked for my cloth wearing class.

The thing is that i really care how my character looks, thats the most fun i have in the last years with the game, and if i decide to play a Monk, but dont have much Leather sets unlocked where i can pick and choose how “badass” my character looks, i refuse to play it, because i know how long its going to take me to gather all the pieces for it to look cool.

One of my big draws to this game too, I like to design looks as well, it’s not the only thing I do, I like to fish, I like to do rep grind and quests for mounts and mogs. But this casual RP based game play is a large focus.
Although I don’t RP, I like my game avatar, simple as, I spend time wondering about her life and day dreaming, pure escapist fluff but my escapist fluff.
Nice to meet another player who shares my focus, happy hunting!! here, have some hugs!!
I sincerely hope that something is done to refine this system myself. I too feel the red hot smacky rage of something dropping I want on the toon that can’t wear it. Please Blizz, have a care for my poor aged blood pressure!!!

Wait till someone who farmed tusks for 2 years comes here and say “you have to put in the work for it” and “earn it”.
Those ppl sadly are a very loud bunch.

Yeah sadly, and because of those people we still dont have the normal QoL changes that we should have gotten years ago, i mean if they like self-harming themselves, i dont.

Yeah i saw that post, ridiculous
I have the almost all of the Shaman Molten Core set (besides the head piece) after 3 runs. Of course this doesn’t count the BoE pieces that I just got from my alts. Also I have all the pieces from Blackwing Lair after 3 runs, only missing the pants which are actually from Ragnaros.
Had similar luck on the cenarion spaulders - farmed it with a total of 3 toons, even took a long break from the place before I got lucky last week. I was crazy happy when I finally saw it… 
With how many offpieces without looks we have, we should be just allowed to unlock any appearance that drops. I mean, the bosses’ loot table is vast as is in some cases, so it will be multiple runs of the place either way to collect all mogs.

I think I’d settle with having a tmog loot mode where no necks, trinkets or things like relics could drop.

Thats babby stepts in the right direction, but for something tangibile it would take what? Years ?
Dont get me wrong id love it if they did that, but we as a community settle with table scraps always…
That’s what’s mind-blowing to me, instead of us banding together and support ourselves with issues we have in the game, we instead welcome the torture, and every QoL improvement people suggest, gets downvoted.
Farming transmog got especially worse with the gold nerf in old raids.
Before you could at least get a decent amount of gold if you didn’t want to play the AH game or use the mission table with 10 chars.
But now it feels like playing a gacha game as f2p: you either get lucky and get a piece you want or you more or less wasted your time, better luck next time.
And as you get more transmog over time it gets worse because the chance to get something new becomes smaller while it becomes boring running the same raids over and over again every week.
