Can a bra be considered a top? I … suppose. Depends on whether it’s swimwear or underwear doesn’t it…
In any case, I don’t mind this change - but I do mind them just arbitrarily making changes. I’m sure there were people who loved how this looked on their female characters, and I see no reason they should be judged - which is what they just were, effectively. This is the same thing they’ve been doing several times now.
Things that need actual fixing on the texture or characters front go ignored for literally a decade while they busy themselves with stuff like this. Yes, I’m talking about the Pandaren female body textures again. Neck seam fix WHEN?! Can it possibly be this decade? I mean I’m not getting my hopes up (lol) but please?
I have always wanted rings and necklaces to show up like they do in Skyrim. Also, I wanted them to show up in druid forms.
Seems Blizzard have gone entirely the other way through and completely disconnected the appearance of your forms from the appearance of your character, so…
I did see some arguments that made sense: People disliking the change because this new ‘tube top’ or ‘bandages’ or whatever they’re supposed to be go over a shirt; so that looks very bad. Previously you could combo the beads with a shirt and now you can’t.
So in that regard it’s a bad change.
As for:
I get it. It’s frustrating.
There’s also bugs that literally haven’t been fixed for multiple years.
It’s a bad change because it’s a change to the aesthetics of the piece. They released it like that, and unless they have a very good technical reason it should stay like that. People paid money for that thing, and now their mogs are being destroyed, such as indeed the case you bring up.
And quite frankly, why is the same company simultaneously doing this while also allowing people to hide their trousers/shorts in transmogs? At this point I can literally have my character appear in only her underwear during combat but that was crossing the line?
It’s infuriating, really. They seriously don’t have their priorities straight.
I don’t believe that for even a millisecond, but even if we assume it to be true - sometimes a bug becomes a feature.
In this case people could already get that look from just equipping the bandage wrap shirt to go along with it. This is puritanism, plain and simple, but it doesn’t make sense. Why should it be banned to show only the bra and the beads when it’s not banned to show only the bra and no beads? It just does not make any sense at all. Then again, that is often the case with puritanism, isn’t it… ?
“There are no more males and females, now we have Body Type 1 and 2 so that you can express yourself more freely !”
“Ok, but why is Body Type 2 having its chest censored”
“Because it’s female”
Well that’s the danger isn’t it. There’s a chance now that people are going to get it for its new appearance and they’ll be disappointed when it’s changed back.
That’s how I feel about feral druids. They got turned into a cheap 4-legged rogue and if I ever get it back it’ll upset all the 4-legged rogue fans.
Nobody were getting or asked for this - at least not seriously. xD
Censorship? What are you talking about, it’s an upgrade; different races had different bra colours which in turn made the item unusable with some color schemes. Now it looks sick.
But it’s at the cost of being able to use that chest transmog in combination with any shirt. So while the look of it by itself might be better (subjective, but let’s say it is), its usability in combination with other transmog has drastically gone down.
