Comment by BabaraketenoiceComment by kanooshieThese look fantastic!Comment by Dranightoh these are pretty cool. hopefully we can get green quality versions at some point because i definitely wouldn't mind using some of those appearancesComment by Moon87I love these kinds of low-fantasy armour sets. Keep it coming!Comment by radicarlWhy not just make the old ones be sold by vendors? Some of them look really good.Comment by NazkaThey look great! However, why are they keeping with these ugly leather boots? :(
I'd love to see something more tight, not with this big... whatever this is.Comment by PrunestOh please oh please let these be uncommon items!Comment by MightylorddkOne step forward two steps backward. Why remove the old gears? Just put them in a vendor and these (both new and old race specifics) should be tmog-able. Not everyone RPs, some of them are really good looking.Comment by kknutsonWhy can't vendors sell the old stuff and why are DHs getting shafted?Comment by TheCrusadyrLooks great! Loving the work Blizzard. Keep it coming. The more updates to old world stuff the better.Comment by Sorkara123I understand these aren't finished yet, but they do look good for starter sets. Shame they're not transmoggableComment by JigglypuffNot really a fan of the old stuff being removed.

Nor am I a fan of them still having not added some way to transmog white/grey items. Make a profession-crafted item that lets us soulbind that gear so it can be added to our collections, or something.Comment by bbqstrWhy not just make the old ones be sold by vendors? Some of them look really good.Comment by MaximusPMThey should make these transmogable. And also the starter pandaren gear as well.Comment by Luxizthat's cool for the common ones, but idk if we need it for race-specific ones, I dont think many people would like to see blood elf ones disapear, or add em as loot from some already existing first level side quests ):Comment by zauriakWell.. time to stock up on the old items and wait 5-6 years until they become expensive again.Comment by SilentSpyI wish they'd rethink removing the racial starting gear, or at least make that transmoggable / cosmetic set. Some of them are really gorgeous, especially Blood Elf, Worgen, and Goblin sets...and these new sets are really just Human sets that feel unfitting elsewhere.

They are nice simple sets, though.Comment by MaverickWerewolfWhat the hell? Why remove the old ones? Some of them look great. I love the worgen starting gear. I always wanted to be able to mog to it. Why would you REMOVE racial variety? That makes no sense at all.Comment by TerribleAtGamesBlizzard being Blizzard again, removing stuff from the game for no reason with no respect to the players interested in the old start gear.Comment by fatgunnI imagine these will probably end up on a vendor like the Exile's reach weapons, hopefully moggable. Maybe Blizz will put the old stuff on a vendor somewhere as well for those who want them. Maybe at the first inn for each race?
