It's extra work because they didn't have to do it. They didn't have to add class hall sets at all, but they chose to, and also chose to put in extra work by modifying the armor. The garrison sets were completely unchanged from MoP--hell, the DK one was taken straight from Wrath, without even a texture update. That's lazy.
The difference is there for someone that isnt looking for a reason to be mad they are missing huge components that make the CM look good/different. The priest set is the exception to this of course since it really is just a recolor, all the rest kind of make me think of the difference between Mythic Tier and Heroic/Normal, you can see they are related in some way, but their are obvious differences. All these order hall sets are pretty meh imo honestly.
I wasn't into them, but I have a friend who was big into the challenge mode sets and his reaction to the recolors was this:
"So what? I think it will draw attention to people who have the originals."
“Nostalgia was like a disease, one that crept in and stole the colour from the world and the time you lived in. Made for bitter people. Dangerous people, when they wanted back what never was.” -- Steven Erikson, The Crippled God
I was a little disappointed when I first saw this, as the two characters I did MoP challenge modes on were my priest and mage. The priest is practically an exact model just recolored. That being said, I SUPPOSE it's different enough in colors that the original one will still be special.
The rest of the sets don't really look all that similar.
its funny how everyone who complains about stuff like this is always freaking late.
we knew about the recolors for weeks already, where have you been before?

I'm ok with people getting a shitty version of my MoP CM gear
Already had a thread about this and it was pretty unanimous that no one cares. Not to mention that the sets you get from your Order Hall are different than the traditional CM sets not just in color but parts of their design.
Also, this is coming from a guy who's had Lich Lord (DK CM armor). I like the fact I get a different variation of my favorite ingame armor, and more-so it's even easier to see the differences between the two.

Yep. Yeah this is actually a great point.
i dont see the problem with these sets. I dont understand the lazy part, too. Its something additional, its not a raid or dungeons set. So you have as a Options - Nothing or recoloring. besides that the sets arent available anymore. There are people like me which didnt play MoP. While i get the argument that there are alot of stuff in WoW which isnt available i appriciate that you can get at least look a like sets for the MoP Sets. So the people which did it during MoP still have something special, while other people can get at least lookalikes.
No harm done?
Remember back when Blizzard made it so that you could get the Blackwing Lair sets from Burning Crusade heroics?? Same thing, just different colors!
CATERING TO CASUALS
Threads like this make me believe that people complain just for the sake of complain.
they are modified recolors with less flair.

What's the issue? I don't have any problem with other people slightly similar gear. I got CM gear on my paladin and warrior back in MoP. It's actually great to see it come back in a different form and will gladly farm to get it on several classes. Some even look better imo
