Classic Andys and Mandys, I think Classic has way passed the question, shall it be kept faithfully to the original, or not, if we look at the Changes in Cataclysm only.
So, if doesn’t matter anymore, we should have retail way of getting transmog, meaning we should be able to learn grey and white items, shirt, tabards, remove the reputation, weapon type (one hand vs main/offhand) restrictions, and most importantly, we should be able to learn everything.
Even in retail I miss about half of the learnable transmogs on my main, not to mention my alts. If this system would been there for the start, I think I would have already gathered most look from before the Legon expansions.
But at that time it matterd less, since ratail had, and still has the uncertainity how long it will run.
But we Classic players don’t have this sweet ignorance, because obviously we know exactly how long the expansions are, and how far we will go (probably most of us will stop at the end of Legion). Because of this, the final countdown is ticking louder and louder as time progress, taking the fun, imerrsion and enjoyment of this, because the to-do-before-classic-ends-checklist becoming more and more overwhelming.
I hope Blizz will take action. and help us enjoy the last years of Classic to the fullest.

It’s already not kept faithful to the original. Legendaries weren’t ever able to be transmogged in cata, yet they are now.

Original “Classic” transmog was way more complicated: You had to have the item you wanted to transmog to as a physical item, take it from your bank, bring it to the transmog guy and put both your current item and the transmog item into a slot for that, then it would change. So your bank was loaded with transmog sets.
A real “classic andy” would want that instead of the current system which is, I believe, from legion. But I think since classic is running on the legion engine, it would be too much work for the intern’s dog who is the only dev working at classic to change it to retail style.

By classic I meant the current Cata Classic version.
I don’t have that much time, dedication patience to do the same farming I did since many many years in retail. or rather sayinfg, I already did it once, I gave my time, blood and mental stabilty farming these stuff.
This is why I think it would be a gallant move on Blizz part, to help us go around the nuisance.
I am definitely on board for some changes. There are QoL things that don’t really affect the game too much such as the transmog system that could be brought up to modern standards.

Noooooo if you do that classic will be destroyed forever or something.
But seriously yes please, I wanna mog my cata dungeon tabards especially. I like my Argent Dawn tabard more than the Ramkahen one, it goes with my mog.

Because your Ramkahen tabard is common aka white name quality item, while Scarlet Crusade’s is a uncommon one. You can mog rare/epic guild tabadards into it however. Only when they change general rules of transmogrification will you be able to mog any item.
