I’ve seen a lot of people here talking about features that ‘ruined the game’, It’s pretty clear that those are just features they didn’t like personally to me. Now personally i like transmog so i’ll adress one or two arguments i’ve seen against it.
-
“Transmog ruins gear progression”, This is wrong, This is very factually wrong, Transmog doesn’t ruin gear progression, What it does however is prevent gear regression (we are talking about in terms of looking cool of course). Now what does this mean? It means that if you find a new tier set in for example the next raid tier of cataclysm nothing stops you from getting that gear and using it as a transmog thus progressing in terms of gear, Like i said it prevents gear regression meaning you dont have to have your character look in a way you dont want them too. To put it in another way transmog didn’t ruin gear progression it just meant that blizzard had to make sure the new tier sets were cool if they wanted people to adopt it in a widespread manner (Which is good for everyone, Rising tides and raising all boats and all that.)
-
“Transmog is bad because i can’t tell what gear people are wearing at a glance.” This is a fair argument, Just have transmog be disabled for pvp, There fixed.
-
“I actually like looking like a clown whenever the new expac comes out.” Again fair enough, But, Like i said nothing is preventing you from not transmogging your gear, Or even transmogging your gear to look like whatever quest greens you “Like”, On the other hand if transmog doesn’t get added then you have actively contributed to turning the game worse for other people.
-
“Just wear gear with worse stats and look cool”. This is a poor argument, Wow classic is already extremely minmaxed to the point where if you have this attitude you might not even be able to find a guild that is willing to put you on their raidroster which means you can’t even get the gear you want in the first place. (Of course people hardly need to be full BIS in wotlk to pump BUT particularly for scaling classes this is a sort of break point kinda thing, For instance there’s a helmet i like that you get from ulduar 10 man and due to the fact that my class: Warrior relies on scaling to do numbers using that at the last raid tier is to a certain extent non viable).
Personally transmog is an anticipated feature for me, Why? I play a warrior but there is actually very few of the warrior tier sets i actually like, I’m also very picky about what weapon models i like, I also personally feel like in terms of ‘lore’ or ‘rp’ it makes no sense at all that the conquering heroes fresh from conquering the horrors of icecrown citadel would a few months later look like a hobo crossed with an orgrimmar guard. Does this mean i’m objectively right about everything? Of course not, But i think a lot of people are way too doom and gloom about features like Transmog and LFD.
Anyway, Feel free to leave your own thoughts about the matter, Or criticize or flame me if that’s what you want, I personally dont expect transmog to come out in WOTLK, But no matter if classic+ or cata classic is what we’re getting i sure as hell hope transmog is added then.

That’s not what i said though.
Didn’t read, but I’m sure that’s the conclusion.

No, I’m quite comfortable with classic, Besides transmog as a feature was added in cata (Which is pretty far back compared to retail), If you think retail hasn’t changed since cata i think you’re either being disingenuous or you should compare the two.

No transmog. Go to retail.
I wont, And your non argument isn’t going to convince me.
Well, You haven’t convinced me that transmogs are bad, You haven’t convinced me to ‘go to retail’ and 99% transmogs are coming with Cata classic (Which is probably going to come out, Blizzard isn’t known for stepping off of the gravy train after all), So nothing has changed.
No, I don’t want transmog and rdf/lfr in cata classic.
Go to retail.
The fact that you can’t interact with any of my arguments beyond saying you dont like transmogs as a feature or telling me to go to retail tells me noone should take what you say that seriously when it comes to this. Tell me, What’s wrong with transmogs as a feature exactly?
No you are wrong, that is a fact and no freaking argument is going to chance a FACT.
I read some of the rest but there was nothing worth it to even react to, just some made up bad argument anti transmogger say? no You said it only to be able and debunk them with less effort.
Maybe make a strong argument instead of 4 of the same that only say how you disagree, nothing else.
If they make it “optional” and for players to be able to disable the transmog and actually see the legit gear of people - I’m up for it.
That’s how it in pservers and it’s better.

I would only accept transmog if I can permanently disable it.
Idgaf about what you want to look like - I want to see the game for what it is and I want players gear to reflect their progress not their own fantasy. You might see yourself as some hero in greens but I just don’t.

You dont even explain any part of your argument as to how i’m wrong, Which i’m not.
I’ll elaborate a little bit. Progression implies improvement right, Let’s take tbc as an example if you’re progressing your gear from say tier 4 to 5 your getting better gear, The same principal applies to transmogs, You find a transmog you like then you get it, The fact that the epic gear that’s dropping doesn’t look the way you like doesn’t mean that it ruins gear progression it just means that you get to essentially get to pick your own gear progression in terms of looks. As i said transmog doesn’t harm gear progression in any way, Nothing stops you from getting statiscally better gear then putting your transmog on so it doesn’t ruin it in terms of player power, And nothing stops you from finding a new look that you like and getting that so it doesn’t ruin it in terms of ‘look progression’.
Very simple for you. If you want transmog, go to retail.
It’s a bad feature and such things should never be in an MMORPG imo. It is the worst thing ever added to WoW besides the retail talent system, RFD, and LFR.
If you go from say ICC 25 man and into cataclysm eventually you’re going to swap your gear out, Sure some of it might last all the way until lvl 85 but all of it wont. At this point you are already a hero, You defeated the lich king, Wether you’re wearing greens or not.
Good or bad, I want all things added to Classic as they were added originally. That is the Classic experience. Anything else is not Classic.
