New gear all the same?

- I like much better the color themes in wotlk
- the quest rewards could have used a bit more variety (take some of the nicer old world dungeon drops and retexture them at least)

I would say that this is a case where putting a few more people on it would have been justified. Yes we'll quickly outlevel that gear but I'd still like some variety while leveling. I'm not a big fun of the whole 'things are going to be much better once you get to end game'. Hue shifting the same texture is just cheap.. I know I do this for a living. They did have the time/money to do this better.. just chose not to. Don't get me started on the whole druids forms.. :thumbdown:

Some of the new stuff looks ok, some well - its better of not mentioning

Yeah, if you look at the dungeon/pvp gear for 80+, there are some great new models - the S5 swords are cool. But the drops so far have been pretty bland, have to agree - I think we all got spoiled with BC, there were so many cool looking gears even at 71-2, now it's pretty dull. I just made some of the leather patterns for my druid, and they're downright UGLY. Luckily they're not much of an upgrade, so I'm sticking with my BC gear, for now.

I've been checking out the dressing room every time a set of robes drops (just interested in how they'd look on my priest and she levels with my hunter - most of them aren't upgrades yet anyhow). They all look the same, and I mean the same. It's one thing to reuse things and recolor them, but every single quest-reward set of robes (and random green drop robes) from level 70-75 is exactly the same drab thing, with maybe the slightest color differences. They only designed one set of robes until PVP or End-game gear?
