Howdie,
I have not played Warcraft for about a year but I got a free weeks pass so popped back to see how things were going.
I have seen a few posts on MMO detailing the new Warlords gear and it just seems a bit off, I mean did you see the Death Knight one? Yes it has no belt buckle or shoulders but still it looks like a really bad attempt at cos play. The gear looks like it is made from over sized foam.
All the tiered sets, that I have seen, are similar in that they came from 2003. Obviously some people may love them as they are or simply state that they transmog everything they wear with their favourite set anyway. I assume this is deliberate by ATVI in that, due to Mogging, they can release sparkly sets to tempt people to new areas.
Either way it just seems like a very odd decision, considering updated graphics are on the agenda, to step back so far in terms of armour models. I have not seen anything to suggest they will be releasing Moggable sets on the store, or did I miss something?
