Now i recently read a Blue Post about how the new badge gear is supposed to represent the Blood Elves/Draeni resistance, and the last badge rewards were supposed to match a Zul'Aman/Troll look. If this is so than why on earth are the shaman healing chest piece and legs the same as those from ZA. Why couldn't you decorate them more with a BELF look, maybe some gold, different design. I was really upset to find out i saved up for gear that i was already wearing, and maybe i should just wait till my gear drops again in BT and MH. It's rather poor, sorry.

The healing chest piece from the Sunwell badge vendor looks like the healing chest piece from Hyjal.

Can you provide some examples, because I'm not seeing any similarities, unless I'm not understanding what pieces you're referring to correctly.

there is no way out

Hmmm. Interesting. I've never noticed that those pieces don't match up. I'll have to check this out.

EDIT: Oooh First! This is #4. lol.

(When I saw a blue, I totally forgot which badge thread I was in. =P)

I can give you one, Hunter gloves. Just recolored from the previous badge loot which was in ZA. However, don't know any other matches.

Not a big deal.

Given what the new gear looks like (particularly weapons), be grateful if you got an old model. Seriously, dressing room some of the other stuff. The fist weapons are especially amusing.

Q u o t e:

The new druid tanking legs look exactly like a level 65 blue quest reward. Got any explanations for that one?

Heroic Magisters Terrace Robes (better than T5 caster gear) looks like a lvl 63 blue.

Healing Badge Cloak
Dmg Badge Cloak

Looks like someone puked on them...just like the Robes in Hyjal/BT

Well I don't know, you've provided such clear and concise examples for me to reference that I'm pretty much stumped.

I'm starting to think the badge loot art is punishment for complaining that the reuse too many models and textures. It's like the art team develops out of spite or something.

I have to double check but the leather druid gloves for casting looked exactly like the ones from ZA.
