Blizzard claims this is to prevent people whining about the "clown" syndrome that occurred in BC. While the colors may not match, at least most of your armor will match in a model sense, making your look "cohesive and clean."
Nobody wants their character to look foolish, or be wearing blue shoulders, a white cloak, red boots and a bright yellow chestpiece. But seriously...matching models? What has happened to the Tier sets?
I wasn't raiding before BC came out, but I remember walking into IF or SW and seeing a paladin wearing Judgement or a warrior in his Wrath set was awesome to see, and I knew that they raided and I knew that they were wearing the best gear. Obviously, Tier sets have come a long way since level 60. Those sets were for any spec of the class, and now of course we have specialized sets for different specs and such, which is obviously a good thing.
But, now the only difference between the Tier 8 sets and the rest of the gear in Ulduar is going to essentially be color. This seems ridiculous to me.
Also, weren't the Tier sets in Vanilla WoW the best in slots most of the time? People strived for them, not only for looks but also because they were simply the best items you could have. The epics you got along the way were great, but they were there only until that coveted tier piece dropped that you could snag. Now, at least for Holy Paladins, 3 of the Valorous pieces are really "best in slot," but using a fourth is a good idea for the 5% mana reduction on Holy Light.
So I ask, then, What happened to Tier sets?
