Transmog has no place in this game

[Deleted]

Blizzard is putting so much effort into the new weapon and armor models for Uldir (along with much of the past content that has came out). All this effort and time is being put into something that majority of players will simple transmog into something else. This kills the dignity and value that was associated behind having a complete set.

Back in classic/BC/wrath/early cata, raiding came with many rewards and one of the more essential aspects to this reward was wearing a full matching set of gear from the latest raid tier. Raids offered not only a character stat reward but also a universal cosmetic reward too. By adding transmog into the game during cata, you're essentially killing motivation for players to pursue any higher level content as someone with all greens could have any appearance he pleases. This is essentially why mythic(old heroic) participation has declined drastically.

Now transmog shouldn't be removed per say, it should simply have a variety of restrictions to it. Something like you need a piece of gear from the current raid in order to transmog that piece into a piece of gear from a previous raid as it doesn't make sense for a player who doesn't raid to have transmogged gear from a raid. There is simply no rational logic in that.

Then don't use it.

Problem solved.

Play Runescape than.

A VERY significant amount of the playerbase plays for transmog

[Aeula]

Or maybe you have no place in this game.

Go play something without transmog if it bothers you so much.

I'd agree with you if titanforging didnt exist

cos having to use a different difficulty item that doesnt match the rest of your set just cos it TFd would be really annoying.

then again I say this only half seriously

transmog is fine, if you like the new sets, use them in fact if you really like them you can use them even AFTER the tier is done thanks to transmog, aint that nice?

Seems like someone is sad people won't notice him/her being "afk" in a major city anymore.

Here's a tip that might help you; stop caring about other players.

I unashamedly miss that a lot actually

You wrote all that without realizing it was a stupid argument? How disconnected from reality are you?

[Aeriedk]

I tend to agree with the OP to a certain extent. Before transmog having a full set of current tier gear had a certain badass feel about it and it inspired newer or less experienced players to strive for that. With transmog, the mass of titles, the mass of mounts, and other things of the like this goes away. Everything is just white noise now.

Now the most noticeable thing in the world is how slutty can you make a transmog look.

[Teri]

Tmog keeps old content "relevant" for some people = more blizzard subscriber time, just like 400 mounts and 1000+ pets.

100% optional, but content nonetheless.

Classic is coming, so full tier 1 , 2 , 3 sets and Marshal/Warlord gear is as well with no transmog over there.

Removing it on BfA is no option.

Not sure if troll, but alright.

This is still the case. You can't transmog things you don't have, and the mythic raider is still able to walk around in a full mythic set to show off his or hers progress.

Also, this is just another boo hoo special snowflake post. If you're raiding for any sake other than you're enjoying it you should just quit.

Or maybe you have no place in this game.

LOL, I wanted to say the same.

[Pebrocks The Warlock]

Don't use it and it won't affect you.

[Gaexion Ramza Beoulve]

What gives you the right to take away things from other players?

Why does your solution involve reducing someone else's fun?

It's because you are garbage.

That boldened part is exactly how transmog look getting works. You either have no idea what you're typing or you're just fishing for a "in the good ol' days" kind of support from non-moggers.

Ok.. let’s try this... if some enjoys raiding solely for the purpose of obtaining badass gear to be a show off they should quit? I mean they’re enjoying it, just for other reasons than killing bosses.


This thread is a perfect example of why it’s difficult to present a different POV of the world. People tell you to quit or assume you’re an idiot. My point is transmog makes everything white noise. No one knows what any gear means anymore because there aren’t enough people wearing the set for people to take notice.

I like transmit by the way. Just saying that the OP has somewhat of a valid argument.

I’ll be on my way now.

Except you're completely wrong?

You think people do raiding for cosmetics? You think all of these guilds fighting for world firsts are in it just to have shiny gear before someone else does?

I guess you want everyone to look the exact same then...since you know they're putting less work into armor sets since they aren't making unique sets for each class anymore.

[Enkrypt]

I think millions, and millions of players disagree with you. Transmog is awesome.

Thanks for sharing.

Then dont use it. Ive had my fill of mismatched gear tyvm.
