Good grief, learn to thumbnail! For imgur links, add one of s/m/l after the string of numbers and letters. Example:

would be

for a small thumbnail. Or, use an m for medium:

or l for large:

So im going to have to play a priest, rogue and hunter to unlock most armors in my wardrobe? I understand tier pieces and such, but whites, greens, blues and random epics? Why do i have to play all these annoying classes to try and complete the collection?

It's kind of disappointing. I have some nice cloth items on my rogue from way back before transmog existed that I kept for RP/casual reasons, and even if I can't transmog it onto her armor, it would be nice to have it unlocked for my clothies.

And what happens if you equip chain on a level 35 warrior, would that unlock it for other chain wearers?

Because, the devs have embraced transmog as content. Instead of just making it a free for all, like it should be, they're putting a time/effort gate on it to keep you in the game longer. Making you roll a priest, rogue and hunter to unlock pieces means a couple more months of sub for them - and add a couple of lines on the patch notes and expansion advertising.

I guarantee you, at least one meeting was held by the devs where the words "leverage" and "transmog" were used together.
