They should solve this issue by having an NPC you can talk to, give him an item you can not equip, the item is consumed but added to your transmog storage. Problem solved with exploiting.

If you think that they are going to add a way to get every single removed piece of quest gear, i have a bridge to sell you.
The only way i could see that happening is if they added legacy servers (which would be a perfect solution since i want that anyway, but it seems unlikely xD)
Do you have a time machine handy? Because i would do those removed 1-60 quests again and again with a song in my heart. We are talking about stuff that there is no way to obtain.

Even more simple would be for Blizzard to stand firm on their decision =D.
You make a good point, but this is a topic about the extreme scenario - a player who wants absolutely every available mog. Why is this thread focusing on pre-cataclysm stuff? More recent expansions' quest rewards don't give you a choice of what armor type to choose from. I don't think every quest that awards gear should unlock every other transmog option under the hood. I don't find that to be very immersive in a system whose design is immersion.
But that makes sense to me. There's no reason for my priest to hold on to plate gear she would never wear for 11 years unless she is some sort of weird hoarder.
Going back to your earlier example - I could fill my closet with kids clothes IRL even though I can't wear them.
But seeing as I don't have a kid that would be downright creepy as hell.

If you wanted that under the current system, you would target those specific quests on each character sharing that proficiency.
With the wardrobe you only need to do it once on each proficiency, and without the inventory requirement.
People too readily throw around the "need" phrase as if it is adding mandatory requirements, when it is not.
And we don't know how blizzard are going to handle that.
Perhaps if someone asked them instead of bashing them.
Rubbish.
Other collections have requirements on first adding to the collection, such as reputation, faction, profession etc and some of those items keep various requirements even once in the collection.
They are account-wide as much as the Wardrobe is.
Account-wide does not mean equally usable on every character freely.
I think that the world will keep turning whether or not they do.
This time last year we thought those items were gone forever, and it kind of sucked, the way the literally destroying the old world sucked in general, but the world moved on.... and now there's a chance some of them are coming back. That's cool with me.
The feature opens up a loooot of possibility (and inventory space) for me, I'm not going to be mad that it isn't limitless.
When we say need (or at least when i do), we mean that we are going to do whatever it takes to unlock everything we can.
Personally, i don't mind doing a ton of quests six more times (i've done far more ridiculous things in WoW for far less reward. I did Zul'Drak dailies for 6 years straight to get the Deputy Pa'trolla Badge. A few quests are nothing next to that) but others find having to do quests that they have already done 6 more times to be deeply frustrating, and i see no reason to criticize that.
Removed quests tho? Like i said: Legacy Server=Song in my Heart, but if they have us grind Timewalking or some other such nonsense to unlock hundreds of removed quest rewards that we already earned? That would be bullshit.
About that... When the Transmog revamp was first announced as being a future thing in MoP, i was planning to ticket Blizz over and over until they restored every single removed quest reward that i earned. I was sooooo excited that i wouldn't have to do that when the Wardrobe system was detailed xD
And i never moved on and will never move on. I have been asking for the original 1-60 quests to be restored in some form since they were removed and don't plan to stop.

To be honest you can do what we did back when the keyring was introduced. They asked us what keys we want on it. Someone went to thottbot (ahahahahhahahahaha) and searched the word 'key' and posted every single result for them in direct response, plus a few of the attunment items you needed to unlock things but weren't labeled 'key'.
Create a list of what's missing, present it to them, and ask, politely, if you can have a way to reattain it all.
But you don't have those quest rewards now....
They're not taking anything away from you, they're just not adding everything you wanted.
Previously, you had to a quest 11+ times to get it for transmog on every alt. Similarly, you couldn't always make it work out- what if a single quest rewarded two things you wanted to transmog? Out of luck.
I think a lot of people are also blowing way out of proportion how many unique questing appearances there are. Sure, if you want every *item* unlocked, you do Loremaster. If you want an appearance, there are some that are quest only- but many others have dropped/BOE/crafted analogues.
For better and for worse, making something a collection changes that part of the game. Pre-Wrath, we sought out the specific pets and mounts we wanted. After Wrath made them learnable, the new goal was to get them all. That's just how it is.
Also, you vastly underestimate how many of the removed 1-60 quest rewards were unique. From BC onward, there are fewer, but as far as i recall, the majority in vanilla were at *least* a recolor.
That's the way that I grinded out The Insane as well.
Granted, I did it by reputation/lockboxes instead of session duration. Like, 1000 Everlook rep this day, 200 lockboxes this day, etc. It works a lot better than charging headlong into it and burning yourself out for months (or years).

There are very few people who view every collection in the game as "must get them all". I don't think those people really have a good grasp on what "fun" is, or how to detect it.
My pet and mount collecting hasn't changed since BC... I collect pets and mounts I want. Toy collection hasn't made me go randomly collect toys- I use the ones that I like and have. Heirloom collection hasn't changed what looms I buy, it's just made it easier to use what I have.
Similarly, transmog collection will free up hundreds of bank slots for me, and let me use some really cool mogs I've collected on my main on my (same armor class) alts. Same with some really rare/obscure weapons I have. And that's great.
I'm still not going to go collect hundreds or thousands of appearances "just because". I'll do what I always have, and go collect the ones I really wanted.
As for 1-60 rewards... The ones that were really unique, I still have in my bank bags if I wanted them.

Look at all these people sticking up for Blizzard. It's no wonder the company pulls shit like this, when mindless fanboys will kiss their ass no matter what bullshit they pull.
I have discovered I'm called a 'fanboy' or a 'hater' depending on whether or not people agree with me more than my track record.
Blizzard has banned me more than once from their forums - my favorite of which was for a post that attributed likelihood of a change being made to how much it'll hit their revenue recognition.
So how about you take that pitchfork and kindly put it somewhere safe.
I don't understand, why don't blizzard just allow you to unlock the stuff right/? transmog restrictions still apply, it's not like you're going to be able to wear or xmog plate armor on a cloth user, , and you already made the effort with a character. Why don't you just lift that restriction
