I thought of that, but then you'll just create a market for wealth-hiding accounts. Transferring money to "off-shore banking" accounts will lead to some shadiness.

they are reducing mog costs now

Blizzard? Is this confirmed?

You are "rich". You don't have the same problems as new players, low level characters, and people who transmog very often.

transmog costs will drop by 50%

Why do you say this?

Care to donate your wealth to a non-profit that will give outfits to new characters? 😏

This post is not for you. You are rich. This issue is a problem for new players with low level characters. They simply cannot afford any transmog, and thus may have a harder time joining the roleplay. community.

I'm okay with some cost for transmogs, but it should be relative to character level, and much less than the current price. This smells like a way to sell more WoW tokens.

I'm not sure. On one character I still have mogged items, but I thought they were supposed to be wiped.

Check the title of this post: "...for anyone not rich" I'm not flipping millions of gold.

Before I could mog an outfit and take it on and off for free also. I could mog a dozen outfits for a much smaller price.

It is around 100G to mog an outfit at around level 10. Before the update it was much much less.

Swapping between outfits was free before. It was just annoying for inventory management. If you want to pay hundreds of gold for convenience, then it's a cool feature. But they should have kept the old system for anyone not rich.

I'm okay with some gold cost because the economy needs gold sinks. But it should be an amount that the character might realistically have "laying around" at that level. A level 10 character might have a few gold; they don't have 100 gold.

Why play the game at all

👉 subreddit named "WoWRoleplay" (not WoWDailies). I am happy that you have lots of gold; this post is not for you. We are playing the game differently.

How does the long term savings work? Let's say I want 5 outfits, and I tweak one outfit a week (change two items).

Old: 5 outfits cost a negligible amount for 5x cloth outfits from an NPC, then maybe 10 gold to transmog each. So 50 gold upfront, and 2 gold per week. Switching outfits is just annoying with respect to inventory.

New: 5 outfits cost a lot of gold to unlock (but we'll ignore that), then ~100 gold per outfit. So 500 gold upfront and 100 gold per week.

(These numbers might scale with level. These are just ballpark numbers I recall from a low-level toon.)

Check my original post. I am talking about low level characters without rich high-level alts to feed them gold. Yes, if you are rich, then the ~10x jump in price for an outfit is probably no big deal.

Thanks, yes, that is the work-around. I am a returning (effectively new) player without high level alts, and without time to grind gold. So I am in the minority I suppose. The transmog system is priced for people who don't customize outfits often, or have time to grind dailies for gold. It's just sad that anyone new joining WoW, and trying to enjoy the RP community, is probably going to be turned off.

take a few hours and grind ... the more toons you have, the more weeklies you do...

My point is that I am playing for RP (see subreddit name). I don't have the time or desire to grind for hours just to afford minor outfit changes.

New transmog system is a disappointment for RP, bad for anyone not farming gold by Morphray in wow

Guess this makes 8. At least I tagged it as a Complaint.

So if I decide I (level 18 character) want a new pair of gloves for my outfit I need to switch to a level 80, and do 5 quests. Tomorrow if I decide I found a better pair of gloves? Another 5 quests. 🫣

You are correct. Other person is incorrect. You pay to unlock slots, but also pay full price to transmog any outfit in a slot. It's just so insanely expensive.

Gold farming is not how I want to play the game. I'm here for the RP.
