Legendaries: Should they be transmoggable?

[tigojones]

I don't see the point in setting some stupidly high gold cost for it, especially if it's a recurring cost. A one-time (account wide, preferably) fee, sure. Recurring? Maybe when regular quests start rewarding 100+g baseline.

Make it 2-3 times the cost of current transmog fees. That should be enough.

[greysaber]

the droprates for the good legendaries will ensure that they are still as rare as they are now.

the ones you have to build yourself are not really ones that people remember.

i mean, really, it's all about the warglaives, which have a 4% chance to drop. I've killed illidan 50+ times and I've never seen one.

[Rosstafa]

EXactly, and even if loads of people suddenly started wearing them, then they'd get boring quickly, so fewer people would wear them.

And I agree with DJK, everything should be transmoggable. Some very nice vanity gear that isn't transmoggable like the high society hat and other stuff.

Yeah i'd like them to be transmoggable.
One more reason to get them all

[Deleted]

Yes, please

[Mormolyce]

Everything should be moggable, from vendor trash to legendary. Like a look? Have it. The point of cosmetic options like transmog is that it shouldn't matter how valuable an item is/was - you're choosing your look, as you want it. The marriage between stats and gear-look has ended.

I'd be very happy if mogging greys/whites was allowed.

[Perkunas]

If you earned it during the expansion it came from you should be able to mog it. If you farmed it by facerolling ancient content you should not have access to the transmog for it.

[ComputerNerd]

So much this! I voted "yes" - if someone was running MC, SWP or ICC for months or years, he deserved his legendary drop, he was working hard for this, even when it wasn't current content.

But I also like the idea of higher cost of transmog legendaries or miniquest gating them from transmog.

Random drop does not equate to working hard.
If the fuss about the MoP legendary not being deemed hard enough to be called a legendary is anything to go by, then none of the legendaries so far should be transmoggable.
Random drops are RNG, sheer dumb luck rather than a measure of skill or performance determining when they drop.

The fact that they can be obtained after the fact, when the content is trivial is a huge reason against them being transmoggable.

If the playerbase wants them to mean something, then they shouldn't be just another cosmetic someone farms.

I'd be very happy if mogging greys/whites was allowed.

There is a vendor in Storm Peaks which sells a few white items, some of which are transmoggable.
As are Griftah's Authentic Troll Shoes from the Battlefield Barrens event.
But generally the rule is green or above.

[Rosstafa]

i voted no because it would take away the legendary feeling from the older legionaries

Does replacing them with greens the following expansion not do that anyway?

[LazarusLong]

Yes. Even more, Legendaries should be for look only, no stats.

[Agoonga]

I don't care if legendaries can't be transmogged, but the epic quality items that lead up to the legendaries should be transmoggable.

[Sainur]

"No, everyone will end up running around with old legendaries."

Bullshit. I don't see how this matters. Look around... pretty much everyone already has a legendary cloak, so I don't see why transmogrifying old legendaries is a problem. And besides, not everyone in the game owns a pair of Warglaives, or Sulfuras. So this statement is utter bollocks.

Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros, is in my bank. Warglaives, in my bank. For what? I want to dual-wield Raggy's hammer! Make it happen Blizzard!

[Thelxi]

It'll happen eventually, it's just a question of when. I wouldn't hold my breath for anytime soon, we can't even hide enchants let alone mog them.

[Rhelyo]

They should make the legendaries transmoggable already.People are afraid that everyone will use them and they end up not rare anymore but the people who want to use them already equip them outside combat just for looks so that is pretty much the same as making them moggable.Not to mention lets face it old legendary items are no longer something rare.I know i am using the glaives all the time when i'm just chilling on my rogue.
Of course to be able to mog them the player needs to own that said legendary.

[Zyrinx]

I'd have loved to be able to mog away from the hideous Rogue daggers.

[tigojones]

I don't care if legendaries can't be transmogged, but the epic quality items that lead up to the legendaries should be transmoggable.

For a while you could transmog with a Sulfuron Hammer. Spent a good chunk of Cataclysm with that on my Pally.

[Usaretama]

I think that they should, if only to let people have their preferred look anywhere. For me, it's all about the armor, and as long as the weapon matches, I really don't care, but if I had my hands on something like Thori'dal, I'd want to be able to show it off more often than just sitting in Stormwind.

[Sliippy]

I think it'd be fine if they were. It'd be more motivation for me to finish Shadowmourne, to keep trying to get that damn Thunderfury, or my main hand glaive. And I'd likely finish my Dragonwrath on my lock and mage. A ton of people would be using them but then again a ton wouldn't. I wont be transmoging my back in the future into this legendary. But, I'm sure some would.
