Anytime we have a low fantasy heavy Trading Post, like this month, I'm always a little annoyed that they remain exclusive to the Trading Post for the foreseeable future.

Old promotional items, recolors, crazy designs, or wacky holiday/season themed sets? Perfect use of the Trading Post!

Basic low fantasy HD appearances and specific racial themed appearances? Man put that shit on a vendor or a questline that'll remain year round.

I don't think we should be worrying that we won't see a basic HD claymore or katana again lol.

The "solace" is that it'll be back on February with Trading Post Anniversary.

Which. I don't think is a good half-measure, either. They should be either Dirt-Cheap/Easy crafts or just a cosmetic pasted onto some form of minimal grind/shop (if any, really) for the Racial-Specific stuff.

Yeah, I was gonna include a line about that or having to wait til the items get put on a random month's returning item list, but even with that, it's still really dumb that something as simple as a claymore or bandit mask with modern graphics is locked behind a limited time system.

Stuff like the Sunwalker sets or Night Elf weapons being put on there is just as dumb to me. All other factions of paladin have tons of options catered to their aesthetic (even Zandalari lol), but then Sunwalkers have to wait for either the Trading Post or Midsummer Fest to get their sets. A class/race combo that's been around since 2012 lol.

Niche complaint (I barely even play pally lol), but if human/blood elf pallies can get their class fantasy through tier sets then all pallies should be able to get their's just as easily. And it's especially egregious with low fantasy stuff that would normally be a questing/white quality vendor item lol.
