Well, they datamined some of the new Trading Post items and....

[Elbob]

It was blatantly obvious what his OP was saying before he quickly edited it when he realized people were calling out the very clearly implied bigotry and knew a mod would be showing up soon.

Him pretending all he said was he just wanted an all black xmog is just a lie.

well apparently it sat there for ~30min before the edit and no one quoted his OP so I can't exactly read it.

[Fantazma]

no i did not. I pretty quickly scrolled through the thread saw it going down a seemingly unneeded IRL topic path and commented on what appeared as an overstep at the OP. But if he said something very directly offensive previously I missed it.

I wrote two or three sarcastic sentences like "finally my rogue will be able to use something that suits a rogue assassination" and things like that. There were no offences. Just sarcasm. But then I remembered that today is Wednesday and I don't like being sarcastic on Wednesdays and I thought I'd better delete it.

[[UPDATE]]

Look, now everyone will be able to use xmog exclusively for Hunters!!!

Eh, just means I can save my coins for other stuff

It should go without saying that gender identity, real-world politics, and sexuality topics aren't relevant to this thread and aren't permitted topics on their face - so let's pivot back to discussing the upcoming Trading Post items without the social commentary.

What do you think this thread is about?

[FelPlague]

The beach chair and umbrella would be nice if it didn't come in the rainbow.

There is non rainbow varients elsewhere.

I think I had a lot of expectations for the Trading Post.
For a long time I thought that Trading would finally be the monthly "magic box" from which really cool xmogs would come out that would make Sanctum of Domination or Artifact Weapons look like child's candy.
But I was wrong.
It's just a silly little house with monthly items made for Hello Kitty fans.

Today I understand that.

Edit: I have nothing agains Hello Kitty fans. Is good to say.

Why would you literally ever think they would do that?
why did you think they would put the AWESOME EPIC ARMOR!"
In the trading post? when the awesome epic armor is what comes from literally everywhere else in the video game.
the silly stuff is from the holidays, and now also the trading post.

[Lynexia]

I was going to say the same. Particularly because rainbow beach chairs were definitely a thing in the 80s/90s. But the trans lifesaver kind of makes it bit hard to deny its a pride item.

But that said, if someone finds a single item triggering then they need to go touch grass.

As someone who is trans I legitimately didn't even notice that until you pointed it out, thus reinforcing the idea that people are looking for things to be offended by lol.

Yeah that's fair. It feels like the queer devs at Blizzard wanted to have a little fun.

You know that non-queer people can make queer stuff in games right?

[Kaleredar]

Good lord do people choose the dumbest shit to get angry over.

OP I know you're on a temporary "vacation," but like... seriously, go outside or something. You're choosing to be offended by optional pixels inside an online fantasy wizard game.

I get it, you want to harken back to the good ol' days of when you were (likely) a poorly groomed highschooler wherein unregistered hypercam videos of an undead rogue getting 8k crits in duels outside orgrimmar set to "let the bodies hit the floor" was the pinnacle of "cool." But there's almost 20 years of sharp pointy armor and weapons to go collect if you want something edgy, including armor sets and weapons they're still making.

[crusadernero]

Who cares? Either buy it or dont, simple. Since TP was introduced to the game, I have over 3k tenders. By the looks of it, I aint buying much this or next month either. Heres to hoarding tenders until something insane and expensive comes along!

[Eapoe]

No issues with them having Pride related items, but for the love of all that is good, I hope they fix the bikini bottoms. The fit on the KT male is a little…off lol.

[Alanar]

Eh, just means I can save my coins for other stuff

Ye thought the same thing.

The colors are just off to me

[Al Gorefiend]

I want to meet the male gamers playing as sexy body type 2 elves complaining about Trans rights. I know you're in here.
Tell us about how yourself and where this hate comes from.

[Daedius]

So sexy

did you not read the first post? this entire thread is about that.

[BaumanKing]

Where are the mods? Why hasn't this thread been deleted yet?

[Ghostile]

So sexy

This is what peak performance looks like

[Sialina]

This is what peak performance looks like

This is on the border of breaking peak performance and entering a whole new realm, damn, I want!

[allegrian]

Someone datamined a "personal tabard" that you can customize. I imagine it will be just a copy of the guild tabard but you're free to make it look how you want! That's huge as some of my favourite pala mogs have custom tabards.

[Caradras]

I prefer to think of these new items as summer themed and those are long overdue imo. It will be fun to create new transmog sets incorporating these! I do find it hilarious that wowhead shut down comments on this topic since they are a bunch of extreme leftists that can't handle some harsh worded opinions.

[Aucald]

This thread didn't start great and appears to have gone downhill at speed. Closing this.
