[Howard Moon]

Good luck to all those who apply! (Assuming your IQ is above 100, otherwise I hope you fail!)

i pondered weather i should bother one of the mods with this , but juts making a post in here seems a bit more appropriate

i think i can help out a little bit , as i am online a bit too much :P , and i do read a lot around here , always curious what others have to say on certain matters
now don't get me wrong , i don't go to sleep every night with the firm belief that i should/deserve to be a mmo moderator , however i do think i can help

but the system deems me ineligible , most likely due to the fact that i don't "spam" these forums enough ( as in low post count )
#

here's my question then, what would you want me to do in order to be considered ? ( as in where/who should i post/pm)

"The rules will be tweaked as time goes on, but we're keen to keep the outlandish outfits to a minimum. What players wear while socialising in cities is up to them, exactly the same as now."So we can wear silly stuff in crowded areas where we could break someone's immersion, but not in the middle of nowhere or in an instance where no-one will see it?

[Austilias]

The justification PVP'ers give for wanting to be able to see past people's transmogrifications is hilarious. Just come to terms with the fact that you will have to work harder and be more strategic, or else the ironic criticism of PvE'ers having it easy will fall on deaf gears given that you'd still be (as always), homing in on the lower-geared targets. If anything, PvE'ers are already oe step ahead; the volcanoes on hc Ragnaros proc on RNG, and therefore can't be anticipated but still must be dealt with, yet PvP'ers (for now, relish it while it lasts) are still able to get an approximation of how easy/hard someone will be to kill by looking at their gear, and thusly act on it with the very "skilled" 3+ vs 1 as is so often seen.

I want to be a tank in a cloth dress.

Reroll a paladin and wear T10 or T12 then :P It isnt cloth, but it is a dress.

[Grimbolt]

I like how people talk about the transmogrification as the only thing in 4.3. What about some information about the actual content after a week of its release, when the transmogrification hype is stone dead?

Don't think that hype is going to die anytime soon; People have been waiting for this for years and years

And like every other thing that ppl waited a lot, died soon after it's launch. So, yes, as soon as the 1st week hype pass, only a few players will be still using it like there is no tomorrow...

This transmogrify feature seems really boring... I don´t have time to play 24/7 so I play on raid nights and some occassional arena.. I don´t have time to farm gear as well, especially for crap I have already owned before. It´s no fun not being able to use other classes armors or different armor types, wich would let everyone create really fun and unique sets... And they won´t even implement inks for armors. I wish they would spend time working on the actual problems this game has and creating great raids like Ulduar. Instead we get a pile of troll manure expansion, TOC v2 (FL), bug fixes and class balance are in the toilet and a bunch of useless crap. This game is going down the shitter at ever increasing speed.

Old sets are easily farmable, since it's old content. Also, you can only try it once per week if they're from raids. No problem, it's as casual as something can be before they just mail everything to you.

And with all this crap features/patch, they at least did something right in not allowing other classes armors and inks. No reason for you to wear a priest tier on your DK. Also no reason to let ppl ruin stuff allowing them to color it with whatever comes to their minds. Other games allowed it, other games suffered.

No reason to make something stupid, more stupid.

You really have no idea what you're talking about, at all. There is a difference between actively seeking out scrubs and knowing what you're playing against.
Also, why would anyone just stop to look at their HP ? it's not like it makes a difference, people in 358 blues and people in full epics have maybe 10k difference in HP wich can obviously change depending on buffs, so that isn't reliable. Like I said in my first post, I want to know just by looking at somebody wether or not I should waste my time and mana healing somebody, or if it possible to kill 1-2 people while defending or if I should call it out. But I guess you think stopping to look at your UI and see how much health somebody has or to inspect a team mate in the middle of a huge fight is the 1337 thing to do in PvP. Go back to staring at your UI for hours while you kill your scipted bosses.

Yeah... because pvp is so not scripted... all the actions are the same, all the focus player X or Y are not the same, all the addons telling you what to do, what to interrupt, etc. are not the same...

I can just go and try to deal with a tank and not their healer, because pvp isn't like scripted like pve... lol

The only pvp that is not scripted is noob pvp where ppl do random things, use the wrong skills at the wrong time, etc. All the actions in a decent pvp fight is just following the "what should I do against..." "rule book". The only thing diferent between pvp and pve (other than gear/stats you need) is that you will never get a chance to get a "Donald" playing the raid boss (so, a noob) while on pvp that feared mage class coming at you can just be a noob trying to "pivipi" or a guy that knows what he is doing.

And not checking your oponent's health? Never? Really? Tunnel vision ftw... something even a nameplate (with addons to put it the way they look best for you) can do to keep your tunnel vision going...

To think that most "skilled players" (a.k.a. "pivipi") fail so hard at "scripted bosses".

Are you serious? There is things you have to do against certain comps or classes, but that doesn't change the fact they can easily avoid or change what you have to do, there is no script. You must be a terrible player if you think there is a set way to do things. You need an addon to tell you to interupt? LOL. Also, why don't you atleast learn to play before replying, you don't even realise that there is no difference between PvE and PvP HP, unless ofcourse somebody is a tank. There is also very little difference between the 358 blues and full epic gear, because of buffs, looking at a persons HP tells you nothing, if you don't even know that, you shouldn't be telling people to "look at their HP to see how good their gear is... DERP"

The sad thing is, it's the only thing you kids can say against having an option to turn it off, it's pathetic. You should just admit that some people have lifes and don't care if you managed to waste part of yours farming old gear. You just want to force people to look at the crap you're wearing so you can feel special for once in your life.

[The Last DJ]

Ron Spencer somehow manages to make everything he draws look vaguely creepy and sinister (the artist of the gnome with the Piccolo of the Flaming Fire) ... which is probably why he got so much work from White Wolf.

[RadGH]

So, about that button to disable transmogrificationThe Transmogrify feature will allow players to customize the look of their character within reason. We've already stated that it's likely certain items will not be available to transmogrify, including fish as weapons, and other items such as frying pans, for this very reason. As you know, armor types will also be locked, preventing tanks in cloth dresses for example.

That blizzard, just talking in circles to avoid the question...

[Andreia]

This is just genius, I laughed my ass off with this one 'cuz I love the description on the trinket

[ThunderSteel]

They have completely missed the point with having the abillitie to turn transmog off, I don't care wether or not somebody looks silly or amazing, I may just want to see their real armor. Blizzard must be retarded or just not able to read in order to miss such an obvious point.

Turning transmog off could help alot in random bg's too, it would help me decide wether or not I should rush in and try to win 2v1 to cap a flag or if I can kill 2 attackers by myself, or wether or not I should waste my time trying to heal PvE geared morons that will just die in seconds anyway. I don't see why they would stop us from having the option to turn it off.

Not to mention the fact that it doesn't change anything for all the little kids who think they are 1337 c00l in their t6...

I don't think they missed the point of turning it off at all.

I think they very well understood what a vocal minority was asking for and have essentially replied with "No, you will not get that option, you are not entitled to it, regardless of how much you think you are, thats silly."

It's not going to happen. What a player decides to wear its up to him not you, where is the problem with that?
As for PvP, well it's finally getting to a point where it might actually become interesting. If I might bring real life into this discussion; Sometimes your enemy also disguises as civilians and you have to handle that too, it's not always uniforms vs. uniforms, combat is a dirty game. If anything I think, transmogrification might make PvP more interesting just because of the fact you wont exactly know what the players your facing gear is.

Well then, he can wear whatever shit he wants, that doesn't mean other people shouldn't have the option to not see all that crap and and be able to see his real gear, that changes nothing for him.

Every reply to my post so far has made me facepalm, hard.

[Asmalya]

I hope Resentful will apply 'cause lets be honest almost all threads i ever open he/she seems to be in an unlike 70% of the answers nowadays its no trolling its often helpful posts ^.^

Ofcorse they shouldn't have the option to not see it. That foolish

"The gear now looks this way, but I dont want to see it that way, wahhhh"

That is just a self absorbed sense of entitlement, and no it is NOT a legitimate argument.

Fear of chage is something that stifles growth ruins progress in the industry. Wasting development time on an "opt out" function is useless.
If they begin developing opt out for one thing, the vocal whiney minority will cry for it for every feature implemented into the game. Getting new and better gear ? wahhh i want to opt out but still feel entitled to have good stats.

Maybe I want an option that makes it so you can't see my gear at all ? It's MY gear, YOU shouldn't be able to see it if I don't want you too !
Maybe I'm ENTITLED to have my own gear be private, I earned it, it's mine, You should have no right to see personal things about my character.

Sound foolish ? of corse it does, it IS foolish

Just like the percieved right of some people to be able to opt out of seeign what gear you want to be seen.

It's foolish.

Cool, another idiot that can't read. There is no false sense on entitlement, it's simply a fact that there should be an option to see original gear or the transmogged gear. Don't even bother to start talking about spending time developing things, you clearly have no idea about games development, otherwise you would realise that it would literally take one person 5 minutes to implement it. Really? "Maybe I want an option that makes it so you can't see my gear at all" Are you honestly that stupid? There is a huge difference between asking to see original gear for legitimate purposes and asking for an option to turn all gear off, I can't even explain just how idiotic that post is.
