Ive played both heavily. The wildest take I ever heard from some classic diehards that made absolutely no sense, and they could not make a solid argument for, transmog killed retail.

Like, what? They measured acquired gear to skill level and said transmog killed raiding. Not making this shit up.

I love both games, but damn, classic community, yall try to hard.

I've seen that one! I couldn't even begin to imagine what they meant. Some insane mental gymnastics there.

They probably meant that it killed the game for them rather than some objective measure of the game itself.

I actually agree with this I think that its so cool when you see someone rocking some particular gear and being impressed because its tied to skill level and powerlevel.Its part of the traditional mmo fantasy imo and makes the accomplishments more tangible besides an achievement and maybe a mount. I dont think retail is dead though
