Thank you for posting this. Really awesome it requires a lot of varied content to unlock.
I have two cm sets unlocked (monk and lock) and I'm just fine with the recolors being available to everyone. Hell I dont think they even need to be toned down just one of the recolors they already made.
I got them back in very early mop and im not bothered,
just because people who wear exclusive stuff dont even use them anymore because its so common. CM gear is for alts who i haven't bothered farming transmog for lmao
The new shoulders change the look of the set completely.
Atoms are liars, they make up everything!
These new sets are to CM sets what Tier 7 is to Tier 3; a slightly-altered recolor that will never have the "prestige" that the original has...if that matters to you that much, and apparently it does to some people here.
Like others have pointed out, tons of people bought CM runs in MoP anyway so there goes the idea of you having the gear somehow making you better than others.
Like has been stated only 10% got the sets and that's WITH gold carries. And gold carries don't help your point. Gold carries just mean casuals couldn't run the content themselves, they are like mythic carries now it mean absolutely nothing about difficulty. MoP cms were much more difficult at the start when there was not 20 gem sockets as well so it doesn't represent the people who did them early in the expansion with blue gear.
On the RP-side of it, these toned-down recolours are also handy because, if, for instance, you have an RP guild, the leader can wear the original CM set while the elite-ish underlings wear these versions. That's kinda cool.

Let me tell you guys the story behind this thread. Op spent a lot of gold getting his cm sets. Now that others can get it just as easily. For free. He is mad as march hare.
Okay, and...?
These new sets still aren't the CM sets. Not only are they colored differently, they have been toned down. Compare the CM sets with these side by side and it's pretty obvious. If you have a CM set and you're proud of it then this should not affect you in any way, people looking at these new sets will know that they're not as rare or prestigious as the old ones. If only 10% have the old ones and tons of people have these new ones (which will happen, since they are going to be current content and reasonably accessible) then your old CM set will still be as "special" as it was before.

I think after 10 more pages Synadrasa will realize these new sets are not the CM sets.
