I want a function adding to turn this stuff off.
I don't want to see people in a custom pink fluffy spider man costume

Many players currently wear alternative items while hanging out in cities such as seasonal outfits, role-play gear etc. Other players, as Alicè pointed out, have gear that doesn't match and maybe doesn't look as cool as a full set could, so you're already exposed to a variety of looks on characters.

This feature will allow players to refine how their character looks, use nice-looking gear that may be sitting gathering dust in the bank perhaps. Of course, your idea of nice-looking may vary from other people's, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder ;)

Seriously, though, if your main reason for disliking this feature is fear of a sudden influx of ridiculous outfits, please know that we plan to restrict transmogrification a little in regards to armor types. For instance, if a character is wearing plate, they won't be able to make it look like a cloth dress, and vice versa, armor types are locked. So you shouldn't see too many Warriors taking on a boss in a pink evening gown.

Anyway, what's wrong with the ZG set? It's cool!

People will ALWAYS complain.

They're also entitled to their opinion. I don't agree with the OP, but he has a right to offer feedback if he dislikes something added to a product he has invested in and paid for.

Indeed, and we're gathering all the feedback we can muster on this feature in the build-up to its release, so please don't think I was dismissing the OP's concerns — just trying to reduce his worries a little :)

Edit: Let's stay on topic please guys and gals.

Pretty bummed out now.. Had to delete a LOT of tier gear/vanity gear to make space in my bank for JC/enchanting stuff. You can be sure I regret that now :( I just LOVED my tier 7.5 shoulders and headpiece, would've loved to be able to wear that again :(

Over time, we'd like to add ways for players to obtain some special items that are no longer available—dungeon tier sets, for example. So don't give up hope just yet :)

Soooo... I want my gear to look like Vengeful Gladiator Set. Can I change it, even though I don't own the set?

You must own the item, have it in your possession and be able to wear or use it at the time of transmogrification.
