Dragon Quest games have such “bikini armors” too and those games are rated PEGI/USK 6 still.
But especially with Blizzards company history it is very thin ice for them. So they rather don’t want to risk it too early.
Me: Mooom, can we stop to get a dreadlord costume?
Mom: No, we have a dreadlord costume at home.

Ah c’mon, nobody gives 2 cent about that anymore in the art departement and in the playerbase and at PEGI/USK and what not. They’ve got more important things to care about than point at Blizzard when they create some outfits “Oh no no no no nooo, you can’t do that, remember? What happened back in the day?”
Only because artists decide to not overly skimpify an outfit doesn’t mean they do that because of some certain circumstances. They just like it as it is, nothing more.
Other people saying, they’d like it a bit more revealing is just their personal taste, and that is okay, too.
Doesn’t mean the artist has to change it accordingly. It’s just plain and simple two different individual tastes.
Humans just need to stop seeing/interpretating stuff into things.
That case is closed and the world keeps turning.

You are foolish if you think everything the artists creates is greenlit by the game director and higher ups for publication on live servers…
I never said they greenlight everything, but cleavage and co. are very certainly no big criteria anymore.
For a matter of fact actually never were, as they would’ve removed or at least changed certain gear if it would’ve considered them just like they did with cetain pictures, jokes, etc.
Eh, I am sure the easily-offended Twitter users that keep influencing public views would disagree with that one… Like, I immediately think of them yelling “THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN!” and such stuff.
No, not really. Because taking those transmogs away would have upset people more than just the irritation the joke/picture removal was.
And where were they when the Bloodhunter set and the Ahn’Qiraj style dresses hit the TP?
Yes social media has too much (negative) influence on companies, but…no.
Yeah, sure, because it was all so silent in the internet when they removed those things…not. A lot of people complained about that.

I can only name the things I see from my perspective as a user.
I didn’t see that many complaints myself. Doesn’t mean there were none of course.
And from that you conclude Blizzard won’t release too revealing outfits because of age rating issues, whereas big blue released Bloodhunter, etc. an PEGI/USK didn’t care.
That’s what I mean with
There are many reasons from different countries to ban certain video games. For example, if WoW would be too sexual oriented in depiction, it would be for sure banned in Iran.

Look, I am not saying there are only countries where the age rating agencies would speak up against such more “exposing” transmogs in games…
But there are for sure some countries that can AND WILL ban or demand changes to your game due to their laws/society ethics.
Not every country is as free as most western countries with such content. Especially not in a game rated for early teens.
And Blizzard after all wants to appeal to the masses, not the specific parts of a single community.
Iran has no WoW/Battle.net access due to sanctions anyway.
But nevertheless probably wouldn’tve been banned by iranian law/ethics due to the Bloodhunter armor release. It hasn’t been with the older armorkinis and won’t with new ones.
It
will
not
happen
because of some armorkinis with cleavage.
That
is
not
“too much sexual depiction”
because armorkinis like that already released in those countries years ago.
And if countries change their mind at some point, everything in that regard has to be changd for that country, like no skeleton for asian countries.
Not just “Oh, you can’t release this item here”.

Very low effort for bing a priced set. The burning legion one is better than this.
No thanks and boo to your micro transactions

Hey remember how Garrosh called Sylvanas? Good ol’ days 
Strong Language and outright showing cleavage are 2 different pairs of shoes tho.
I know from first hand expierence (as a former pupil at school myself) that Kids these days throw around harsher words that we did during the 5-6th grade.
Hey remember the original Alexstasza outfit? 
Old Alexstraza was more plain-forward. I personally find certain Dresses with exposing cleavage more intense than outright bikinis… But that’s just me.
Man… this is just something a person who sits in a chair would say…
Most of the people (not all) don’t go to the gym to get better, they do it so they think they look cool and all the girl would look at them. Same with the girls… they don’t wear super tight leggings and loose bra because they are very comfy during workout.
You don’t wear your best outfit on a date because you like dress up nicely, you do it because you want to impress the date.
Girls don’t wear cleavage and revealing clothes only because of reasons, they do it because they also want to be noticed.
Same goes in the game: we mog because we like the way we look but also the way the others look at us… maybe with a ‘cool mog’ comment.
