I don't care for transmog. And i the minority? Where do you stand on it?

Hate it.

Gear designers can git gud instead.

Dyes and minor 'modes' for gear, fine. Cosmetics, sorta fine. Between these two, I would like to believe we can manage.

If we can't, then so be it, but generally transmog annoys me.

I fucking hate it with the biggest and brightest burning passion possible. The world would be better off w/o it, if not for its monetization. It's a necessary evil.

But what if those BiS sets are so damn hard to acquire that seeing one in the wild is wonderous? And what if every new expansion adds those wonderous sets even before the decent minority of top lvl players were able to get their hands on the previous BiS gear?

BiS gear will come from crafting that will require mats from open world bosses. Open world bosses means pvp, which means that only a select few will get their hands on best gear. And on top of that you'll need to repair said gear, which will decrease the overall quantity of the sets.

So Ashes will be exactly the game where you will see BiS sets veeeery rarely. This is not fucking WoW where you can just sit in the same instanced dungeon until you drop what you need, w/o anyone else standing in your way.
