Q u o t e:
Horde and Alliance set pieces will be completely unique.

Q u o t e:
with different color distinctions for each class that will be completely unique between the Horde and the Alliance.

so which is it? completely unique, or just different colors?

Q u o t e:

It's difficult enough to wade through the instant vitriol flowing freely 'round these parts within minutes of a preview.

I don't envy any of the Blues right now.

Why bother on saying anything at all when you already know its a bad idea?
1. Tauren will never be: roques, pallys, mages ,warlocks

Q u o t e:

Uhm... Show of hands. When you're raiding with your guilds in PVE content do you guys run into the other faction much? In other words, there are only 4 models you'll be seeing. But glad to hear Dalaran will be such a diverse place with 2 less armor models.

BTW, I assume everyone using their pvp gear to fight the other faction will still... you know... look like the other faction.

First, druids have to change their hair color to get the color scheme they want from the forms they've waited for for literally years. Now your solution to making horde and alliance look different is to have classes look the same? Can you deliver anything without a tradeoff?

Have you listened to the sound files from the coliseum? It sounds very possible you will be pitted against the opposite faction.

Yes, and no I won't.

And the RP element just occurred to me. If I was a paladin, fighting against Arthas for the light and for the glory of my fellows, I wouldn't much want to be confused with a Death-Knight. Or if I were a warlock, toying with demonic magic to suit my own will, I wouldn't much want to look anything like a wimpy little priest, relying on tried-and-true holy power to keep him and the rest of us alive.

Does. Not. Compute.

That's true, you've only got 10 man naxx gear. How are you expected to get tier 9!

I remember back when I first joined WoW. As I was leveling all I could think of was getting some of the Giantstalker armor, even Dragonstalker. Especially Cryptstalker.

My heart sank the first time I saw a reskinned Dragonstalker helm. The set that pulled me to higher levels, the set that gave me motivation and admiration of players that had it. It had become cheapened. Like the dirty *!%*% helmet that it was. My eyes opened and I felt, down in my brains heart.

I no longer envy Tier set wearers. They don't beckon me, or show me the skill of the player anymore. They don't show me time dedication or personal achievement, because they all gradually look the same. I think, I shall even pity them come Tier 9. But I pity myself the most, because that spark, and drive that I once had, flickers and dies a little with each new set that I see.

Q u o t e:

I gotta be honest: I find what the horde look like compared to me quite irrelevant. I don't really play with them much, and when I do, I'm wearing my pvp gear, you can be sure. To me, this is about standing next to my Death Knight friend and being a Blue Plate Wearer, vs his Grey Plate Wearer. I think it's a mistake to dismiss many of these posts as instinctual vitriol.

Here's a little secret for anyone reading this who knows me: I'm playing this game today because one day about 3 years ago in Ironforge I saw a Paladin in Judgement and I thought it was one of the coolest things I had ever seen in a video game. Tier 2 motivated me to hit 60, to learn what raiding was, and to drop my two hander and learn to heal. I. hate. healing. Don't underestimate the power and emotion attached to the tier sets. They're genuine emotion, and while proper words may fail people on these forums, it doesn't make their sentiments invalid.

So the tier sets are different between horde and alliance. Great. It is clear from the preview that the Mage, Priest and Warlock gear of alliance are the same model reskinned. I think that's enough information to start painting more of the picture, and for people to begin to be upset.

We are getting a patch where the new tier of content is 5 bosses. Where tier 9 is spread out across armor class. "Not one, but Two Jormungars" taking on the status it has is telling. It's easy to understand why some people feel underwhelmed, or let down, or disappointed. Dismissing it as reflexive seems wrong, and out of touch.

I understand where you're coming from and appreciate the way you've expressed yourself in this post.

What do you want? Some B.S. excuse that he might pull out of the nether? I'd rather have the realization that Blizzard employees are looking at what's being said over not even looking.

what goes here?
