These are really uninformed rose-colored glasses. Each of WOW Classic TBC Gold the niche items that you've listed have their place. However, that's not synonymous with the notion that having 40-something BoE gloves that are BiS is the right and prudent design choice.

It's not the best item design to put every warrior into leather to cause competitive damage. It's evident that Blizzard acknowledged that as well because they somewhat changed that by introducing AQ as well as Naxx.

This is why I completely dislike transmogs. When everyone has a matching fashion statement in buy WOW TBC Classic Gold place it's dull. I am a sucker for running by an Tauren Druid dressed in full moon cloth like WTF? It's funny but you know the mfer is a hot sass.
