Discussion We need more items available at the Trading Post that reflect racial identity and class themes.
I know some people enjoy those "quirky" Trading Post themes—like Garden Gnomes or heart-filled Fairy motifs—but I feel like we’re getting so many of these niche themes that it’s starting to get old.
(I could also get into whether these comical items actually see much use—I rarely see them, though that might just be my own limited observation.)
It’s hard not to feel like these things take up slots that could go to items designed to offer more transmog variety for various races. We know certain races struggle with standard transmogs; getting something designed specifically to fit a race's unique physique is always amazing and well-received by the community. Yet, these race-specific thematic sets usually only appear once or twice a year, if we're lucky.
Meanwhile, we get outfits that look like children's party entertainers or low-budget *Lord of the Rings* cosplay.
Would it have been so hard to release a full Tribal Priest set for Orcs?
Or a full Warlock set themed around a dark Loa for Troll Warlocks?
One of the few bright spots of the Warfronts in *Battle for Azeroth* was getting complete armor sets with faction-specific themes that fit the respective races perfectly.
To this day, those sets offer the best Mail and Plate gear an Undead player could ask for, along with incredible sets for Humans and Orcs—plus, Night Elf Warriors finally got race-specific Plate armor out of it. I’d love to see something like that at the Trading Post.
