Vanity slot restriction concerns.....

[Duelle]

Combat class restrictions: Square already stated this would happen. Mages can't dress in tank armor. Tanks can't wear mage robes. Fair enough.

Yoshida never specified whether it'll go by the gear's inherent class restriction or by something outside of that. If a hat says "All Classes", then it stands to reason that it would be usable by all classes for vanity slots as well.

Restricting gear to certain quality tiers or level: Not only will assure the vanity system will get hammered with angry criticisms the moment its unveiled, but almost defeats the purpose of a vanity system.

If someone finds a standard tier (white quality) and/or low level piece of gear they like: just let them use it in the vanity system please. I've never met anyone but a developer that thought quality tier restrictions on vanity gear is a good idea.

I know why you show concern over this. WoW's transmog system was restricted to green or higher gear. This was more because transmog also made the items soulbound to you, which white gear is subject to in this game. As such, I wouldn't worry about them placing a gear quality restriction. It'd be pointless to place one seeing how things are in the game.

I believe the real reason WoW did this is that their database didn't really track a lot of holiday gear in any way other than making it white. Some was soulbound - but not all, or they could have just said "soulbound white gear is off limits". Some of this was items like very ld fire festival gear that looked a bit like tank gear while being useable by any class. White gear also included a lot of 'non-combat clothing. You can still buy an assortment of wedding dresses and Korean traditional gowns in Stormwind that are white gear.
- it was just a way to cut down on the work of going through old gear and putting everything into either column A or B.

I'd say gear of the same type, and wearable by your class - as a sensible limit.
