[Suggestion] Fashion/Vanity Slots.

[Elexia]

Why does everyone on these forums ask for a toggle for everything. The clouds are not pretty, lets toggle it off, oh no grass lets toggle it off....

This is a good example of when a toggle is needed. I'm not one for toggling everything, but I'm also not one for running dungeons with people wearing event item display on their actual gear. If you wanna look like warrior as your whm I shouldn't have to see it, thus the toggle.

"But it will be class/level restricted!"

Are people really serious in believing no one would complain if they can't do what they want with the vanity system?

This is how it works in the vast majority of other MMOs without much complaint. Off the top of my head I can't think of a single MMO that allows one class to look like another.

This game's community is quite different though.

Except that if there are class restrictions you won't be able to make the WHM look like a warrior because WHM can't equip warrior gear.

We all know someone will complain about restrictions, though this is all dependent on how far SE goes in restricting vanity slots. Blizzard, believe it or not, is REALLY stingy with their restrictions for transmogrification, and has a ton of limitations. Here:

• The character must be able to equip both items.

• Only uncommon (green), rare (blue) or epic (purple) items may be transmogrified. (exceptions: a select few of these items will be prevented from being used to transmogrify if they are inappropriate)

• Items must share the same armor type (examples: plate for plate, cloth for cloth)

• Weapons must be the same weapon type (exceptions: Guns, Crossbows, or Bows)

• Guns, Crossbows, and Bows can be used to transmogrify Guns, Crossbows, or Bows.

• Main hand weapons can only be used to transmogrify Main hand weapons.

• Off-hand weapons can only be used to transmogrify Off-hand weapons.

• One handed weapons can be used to transmogrify a Main hand or Off-hand weapon.

• Using an item for transmogrify makes it soulbound.

• Using an item for transmogrify makes it non-refundable.

• Using an item for transmogrify makes it non-tradable.

• Heirlooms and Account Bound items can be transmogrified.

• Heirlooms and Account Bound items can be used to transmogrify.

• Legendary items cannot be transmogrified.

• Legendary items cannot be used to transmogrify.

• Fishing Poles cannot be transmogrified.

• Fishing Poles cannot be used to transmogrify.

• Mailing an item strips its transmogrification.

• Placing an item in Void Storage strips its transmogrification.

• Vendoring an item strips its transmogrification.

• The displayed enchant will be that of the currently equipped item.

• There may be individual items that are excluded from being transmogrified on the basis that they were originally added to the game as absurdities. (examples: a weapon that looks like a fish, or a chest piece that is invisible)

While several don't apply (the "guns to bows" bit, the stuff with void storage, heirlooms and legendaries), the first and the last one would be a very good place for SE to start with. The last one also covers the issue with seasonal gear. Admitedly, I'm iffy on that because on the WoW forums we have some who have been asking for certain gear to be allowed for transmogging (like a certain poster that wants to wear a Vile Fumigator's Mask full-time but can't because it wasn't flagged for transmog).

WoW's transmoging system is also a gil sink. Instead of merely equipping it in a different slot, you pay to have that slot changed into the look of an item you own, following those restrictions. I'll be fine with it becoming a gil sink to change a slots appearance the same way here.
