Probably replacing the works of someone flirting with a female coworker
You can put these sets on any race and they'll fit fine? I dont get how this is all human looking clothing. What does not human clothing look like?
they are okay looking sets but they are way too human themed.

MMO-Champion members complaining for the sake of complaining as per usual. This is getting tiresome
This is a change that affects literally no one. You replace that gear in a matter of minutes, you can't transmog the gear so you use it for the first couple of levels and then never again. Yet, here we are talking like the world is ending and blizzard is shutting down the servers
WTF ???
Look at his ass (most right figure) ! I mean, all that stuff and ingame changes and then they do THIS paladin starter armor ???
either i am totally crazy or this looks like a naked ass ???
Perhaps you ought to roll an orc or a troll mage right now and compare their outfit to the human one.
The Humans in Warcraft are Medieval European aesthetically wise. They're not wearing any tribal outfit.

You guys are willfully being obtuse. The point is that it makes all the races more generic while the outfits they have now give them more flavour.
Moreover, how many of the people complaining aren't subscribed and never will be. How many people start characters at level 1 these days so this would matter to them for the 5 minutes it would take before the gear was starting to be replaced? It is possible that when the gear is brought back to the game it will be part of the transmog system.

"Dev" time to create starter outfits, lmao.
This is the reason no one except other people in this weird "i hate wow more than you do" circlejerk gives a shit about these complaints any more. You don't even know why you're mad, you just want to complain about literally anything, including things you don't understand.
Really who asked for this change? I liked cultural outfits for the races. It tells you about them. A shame they already gave everyoen the same generic weapons, it was bound to happen that the outfits would follow aswell.
This is quite literally "fixing things that aren't broken".
You could really make the same argument regarding the new sets. For what are they changing them? For less than half a dozen quests in the starter zone? Apparently that question refrains to get asked and instead we're asking why people are bothered with this change instead.

I know why I'm mad, you're just too ignorant to see it.
"you just don't understand it", yet you fail to understand why races need flavour, different flavour besides their looks.
"...money's most powerful ability is to allow bad people to continue doing bad things at the expense of those who don't have it."
You should just stick to mobile games next time buddy. If you can't comprehend RPG values than just stick to easy, bland, generic mobile games.

The thing that what made the World of Warcraft so great, big and immersive was because the lack of detail wasn't there. The game was highly detailed and felt like a real fantasy world.
These days players like Matheney2k just glance over things like they're nothing, unaware why the game has become so bland and boring.
Seriously though, you must be baiting at this point. That or people justify gatekeeping solely by the way you behave.
I feel like this maybe one of the more pointless threads on MMO-C for a while. This only effects races from Classic/TBC and it's probably because the starter gear was that low quality texture wise they decided it needs updating. They've slowly been going around every expansion and some patches replacing some of the older low poly models for basic creatures because they were made around 2004 and it's now 17 years later.
For the most part, the new player experience is being made better quality. New starter sets that look decent in 2021, new starting zone (Exiles Reach) which serves as a good introduction to the game and the respective faction (plus faction themed set whilst levelling) and then straight into BFA questing which is pretty good quality. Over time the lower quality parts of the game made in Classic/TBC/WotLK era are slowly being replaced because they are old and Cataclysm is probably the base standard now for models.
The sets are basic, but they are well made and good quality, I really like these plain sets, they're nice to see. They'll add the OG gear somewhere from a vendor or something else (i.e. the sets originally used by Class previews were added to WoD Garrison salvage).
I decided to make a few low level chars on a starter account to see the OG sets again. I don't think the sets are badly designed, but they do look aged (the horde cloth on an Orc Male looks almost pixelated). Standouts for me are the Orc/Tauren/Troll cloth, Night Elf Druid, Human Paladin/Warrior and Draenei cloth but having made a new Orc Warrior and got to level 2 I already have new gloves, wrists and a quest for a new boots.
