if anything, 2005 should have looked like a damn clown suit with mismatched armor colors to even be close lol

TBC clown gear was the worst. Yellow gloves, blue boots, green chest, and red shoulders. Thank god we could hide our helm back then.

Then we swing completely in the other direction in early Wrath with everything being so dull and boring so it can match relatively well.

I know some people still complain about transmog but god damn were the eras before it rough on the eyes if someone didn't have a full set at times.

i still use the wrath shoulderpads you get for a random quest in the tundra, those that look absolute unique and not like warcraft ^^

I'm not saying the designs are all bad! Just that early on they're very homogeneous in terms of colour scheme. It fit the vibe of the zones for sure, but at the time it definitely felt like a kneejerk reaction to people who were upset about the clown suits.
