"Mog Shaming"

[derpkitteh]

Nah it WAS overused in 2012, when transmog came to WoW. Every bloody Paladin was using this set back then; that's true. And all the DK's in purple recolor.

But not anymore; its popularity has worn off long ago. The most common Paladin sets I see are MOP CM; SOO, T6 and Naxxramas tiers. Personally I use heroic T15 (TOT) set.

People that try Judgement shoulders / helmet in a custom armor set are what makes me cringe. These pieces DO NOT work in anything other than full Judgement. They just don't. Please don't do this. Full Judgement or bust.

i used the red and white pants from heroic old hillsbrad when i used judgement, because i hate the paladin dresses. but yeah, i do use the black naxx recolor on my paladin now, since it works so well with my blood knight tabard. that and quel'delar, since i'm belf. i've honestly not seen any other paladins using it, but then again i don't care what other people mog really. i like to look cool to myself, others looking like me doesn't matter.

I honestly don't care about how people mog their toons. It is a game. If the gear is in the game then they should feel free to use it as they please. You if you do not like it then that is on you ... not them. I do not need the politically correct crap in the game. And no... I do not have any characters in "slutmog".

People need to get a grip.

[Zenfoldor]

I do slutmogs because I heard it really pisses off people like the OP. I never run any of the other types of transmog, they just look ugly compared to the HD textures of human or elf skin. I also ride a bareback horse while wearing the mog. Not inclusive enough for you OP?

I always get a kick out of people that are all like "Hey, check out this sweet mog I made!" and proceed to link a full Judgement set.

Then we would never discuss anything because people like different things. Every topic would be forbidden, taboo, etc... because we'd be worried about offending someone who liked or didn't like the said topic we are giving our opinion on in the first place. This line of thinking is illogical and makes no sense. It'd be easier for you, the offended, to move along and not be so bothered by such trivial matters. Instead I've got a whole host of you in this thread that have gone well beyond the threshold for reasonable.

There is nothing to discuss except the illogical idea that 1 opinion is right or wrong on a matter that's clearly subjective. Your not debating a scientific theory here that can have a clear right or wrong answer. No one here is offended except the one who made this bible clutching thread about skimpy clothing worn by people with wrong opinions.

So I did it. I finally shamed people over their transmogs, I couldn't help it, got under my skin in a way that made me crawl.

I'm part of many WoW community pages on Facebook and I often see female administrators post images, purposefully or inadvertently with their character front-row-and-center; meanwhile, sitting on the login screen for said character and therefore no missing what they're wearing or look like... even if the post has nothing to do with their character in the first place.

Almost every time(if not just that thus far) their character is wearing the skimpiest, most gaudy little outfit humanly possible and then trying to up the "cute" factor by throwing a witch's hat atop the bizarre ensemble. Then when you go into the comments section, all you read is, "Oh excellent mog!" and other variants in terms of compliments.

Why?

These are some of the easiest mogs to throw on, common as all hell, they require virtually no forethought nor consideration, and they're clearly designed simply to draw attention towards the character's sexuality and therefore the player. Why is being tacky a celebrated thing? It's not only tacky but it doesn't even look good unless you're that big on pixellated in-game pornography.

I'm a male with several female characters and each one of them have virtually no skin showing. I went out of my way to find interesting transmogs for each that complimented their class/lore as much as humanly possible. From my Hunter to my Demon Hunter. Not only for the sake of adding a level of immersion to my gaming but also because women, even pixel ones, don't always need to be some thong-wearing buxom goddess to be helluva cool. That simply comes across as demeaning to me no matter how hard I try to look around it.

Who else feels similarly?

Am I alone here in my desire for some sense of not only modesty but perhaps more importantly, TASTE?

perhaps you need a few days break from WoW for some new perspective on things? :P

this is just shameful

[TheeSicarius]

I don't do slutmogs often, because I prefer my plate wearing characters to look like a bad ass instead:

I'm too worried about my own shit to bother looking at other peoples mogs, could care less what others do in this game. I don't spend my time looking at peoples characters, I spend my time doing my own shit. If I don't have a goal that I am chasing then I am not logging into this game, Hots and Overwatch don't play themselves.

[Dhrizzle]

i prefer to mog in the most stylish of fashion there is available

Nothing wrong with the occasional slutmog. Unless you're a plate or mail wearer. Then it doesn't make much sense.

[Rudol Von Stroheim]

I honestly don't care what you like or don't like. your preferences are your own. but you admittedly shamed someone over pixel outfit. if you don't see how unnecessary and just.. sad this is? I don't know what to tell you.

but this vehemence against so called "slut mogs is almost making me want to create one, for one of my characters, just because people like you dislike it.

When I say "shamed", I meant I disagreed with it. I gave them guff over it. I didn't attempt to publicly humiliate them.

I think the term "shaming" was a bit too strong for this scenario but in this sense, I was trying to be a bit silly. I mean for fuck sakes, I'm half-expecting death threats at this point so apparently the idea of "shaming" is some serious shit. Like me going across various social media, dragging their name through the mud, doxxing them, etc.

All of which I obviously didn't do.

[primalmatter]

mostyl because in the world of tumblr and anita/femanazi's if wow "the most popular mmo" starts bringing back sexy female charecters/armor it will be a prime target, look at all the arguments about alexstraza that popped up in wrath...

Didn't ghostbusters kinda prove these people are a negative market force though?

Who would still listen to them?

Its not even like they have kids they can stop from playing these games...

Slutmogs > T3 Sets

Here's how I have my warlock transmogged

We can all sleep better knowing that the Azeroth fashion police are scouring social media for unsightly wardrobes. Truly, this heightens my own game experience, so thank you.

Yeah because reading my FB feed is totally scouring social media.

[Luperca]

I would like to say I'm a woman and that pants are for sissies.

[Aeula]

Many things in WoW don't make much sense

Fair point.

[Kazuchika]

I just went and xmogged slutty outfits to every one of my toons to trigger nerds like OP

[Rudol Von Stroheim]

Bewbs are good.

I think they look better bound in tunic, personally.

Just call me old fashioned... but I like a little imagination going on there. The leather chest piece from Trial of the Crusader is one item I REALLY like. It's a combination of tasteful but sexy. Plus with the tie-up front. Mhm.
