Cartoony art style, hell no we won't go

You linked to a picture of an armor set from WoW, with the only similarity being that the armor is close to the shade of red that these new weapons are.

I'm pretty sure I didn't put words in your mouth, either that, or you need to go edit your post to be a bit more clear.

You seem to be slightly more confused than I initially thought. I have not, as far as I am aware, linked to a picture of any WoW armors.

Here's my example of the Fantasy gear...

All the weapons in those pics look perfectly fine and unlike any of the ifrit-travesties.

I especially like the lance on that Kain pic.
