I don't see any value in "new" stuff if I don't care for it anyway. At least some of these sets I really like, even though they are very inspired by older sets.
I love how clean some of them are. Just perfect.
No guys, we don't have the resources to upgrade texture resolutions on old tier sets! We're just saving them to reuse in later raids.
lol Everyone begs blizzard to update old text models. They do, and improve on them and everyone bitches.
If what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. Then I should be a god by now.
No, they've made modern tier inspired by older sets before. For example, Paladin T17 & T19 Bear a striking resemblance to the T4 Justicar and T2 Judgement sets respectively. However this is probably the first time the modern sets have followed so closely to the design of their inspiration rather than taking some artistic liberty (Which I probably would've preferred).
Anyone who says Blizzard is being lazy for the umpteenth time is probably wrong. The armor was clearly built from the ground up in terms of detail. Thought process going into this was more likely to be a love letter to the iconic tiers we know and love, rather than laziness. People accuse Blizzard of being lazy at every corner so those unfounded accusations shouldn't ever be taken so seriously in the first place.
It's too easy to demonize Blizzard. If they made a completely new design, people would've called it ugly and used that as an excuse to say Blizzard is lazy instead.

I get why people are upset. Tier 20 should be completely new sets. These sets should probably be like class hall rewards and stuff. But I'm still glad these sets got updated because they look cool.
We have a thread full of incredibily ignorant people calling this is "lazy." These are literally remade from the ground up, this wasn't a quick way to push out tier models, this was a clear design choice that they had to put just as much time into to make. And why redo tier 6? Why redo FF7, why do people scream for a redo of majora's mask, why do they always make new batman movies? Because they're awesome, people want them, and these new sets look fucking amazing. Stop trying so hard to complain about something when you know damn well that 7.2 looks fantastic. Especially when everything else about the patch is new...
Edit:
Also the Mythic versions of the sets are actually different than just remakes of tier 6, so all those saying they should have made them slightly different... Well they fucking did. Lol.

I wouldn't say annoyed. Underwhelmed, perhaps.
Mythic versions are okay. That can be said it's an inspiration based on the T6 armours, which expanded upon said armour tier and made it a superior version, yet unique, as iconic as Tier Armour should be.
The rest are merely updated versions of the old Tier Armour which, in my opinion, would fare a lot better as a reward for the (respective, if they'd ever think about updating older tier sets) Time-walking Dungeons.
Not to mention blatant misplaces regarding theme, such as Hunter's Armour, which doesn't really fit with the current Legion theme.
I like the idea, but the shaman T20 is barely different than the original. All they did was add some shitty bits of cloth tied to the shoulders.

Nah, I'm pretty ok with this. As long as the content and raid is good. Some of these actually look decent and most are not even done yet.
there is so many other gear why would we care about 1
no..........................
I feel as if though they should have updated not just tier 6 sets. Some other sets should have been updated but I can't complain. Judgement is more of an iconic paladin set for instance. And someone from Blizzard has already done it. Should be put in game.
