In the past, with each new raid every class would get a set unique to them. You may have liked some and disliked others, but each one was designed with that class fantasy in mind. It was cool and gave you plenty to choose from. And other classes of the same armor type could get lookalikes if they wanted to spice things up.
Now I check the frontpage and see they've done away with this concept in favor of one armor set per armor type... Which results in... Four armor sets for each new raid. This wouldn't be acceptable even if these four armor sets were the pinnacle of brilliance in WoW armor design. But they're not even that. They all pretty much look the same and they look bland as fuck. I can't imagine that much effort went into this.
So what's the reason for cutting corners here? It seems like one more reason to not even bother with raids.
