Iv seen some ugly items, but this... this is gonna give me nightmares.
Ugly my @$$, these look like they come from retail.
If anything they feel out of place in Classic.
These absolutely do NOT look like retail.
Just because everything isn't n64 graphics anymore doesn't mean it doesn't belong.
They absolutely DO look like retail models. It's the first thing I thought when the page loaded. Colors are WAY too oversaturated.
That, and the fact the "bladed" weapons have "blades" too thick to actually cut anything, like on retail

Look, if you're happy playing SoD, good for you, but I find it purely
INSANE
that Blizzard is making new content for you guys that has no equivalent for Retail, the version that really goes forward and doesn't run in circles in the past, the version that's set in the present.
I'd say nothing if when they make these appearances, they added them as well to some vendor hidden somewhere in Stormwind or Orgrimmar or some sh!t. I wouldn't even care if the textures weren't super ultra HD, I have some characters who still wear mogs from the Wrath era.
I just saw the freaking hammer of Uther Lightbringer as an SoD thing and it pisses me off because that's TYPICALLY the kind of thing I would want to loot/buy on Retail for my Argent Crusader Paladin.
Previously it was the god damn axe of Broxigar that has been mentioned in the War of the Ancients books nearly 20 years ago and never seen in game, making fans wonder what happened to it... and instead of showing it on Retail in some heartfelt story, they give it to YOU GUYS.
I remember when I was playing Wrath of the Lich King way back when it was current and they were giving NPCs some recolors of T0 sets that we couldn't have but had been in the game files all along, and I kept saying "hey Blizz, when are we getting those as random drop on rares or bosses"... and it took them like 18 years to wake the HFIL up to give it to YOU GUYS.
I find all of this
so
insulting to the players who have been staying on Retail all this time.
Are you upset over not having more transmogs? I'm sorry, I really don't mean to sound rude about it, if you play WoW for transmogs, that's valid I guess
but... Idunno, you have
a lot
of transmogs. Is SoD having a few unique things really worth being upset over?

I think this one isn't upset about SoD having a few unique things in general, but rather the fact these few things specifically fit various class fantasies much more than for example generic earthen dungeon loot from TWW(don't get me wrong, I love many of the things from TWW such as the Arathi tmogs, just trying to guess the reason why those specific SoD appearances not being confirmed to one day be available on retail could upset a person who enjoys tmogs)
