World of Warcraft’s upcoming Midnight expansion is bringing sweeping changes to the MMORPG’s transmog system, but they look to be far more expensive than players were led to believe.
Earlier this year when Midnight was fully revealed, developer Blizzard announced it would be overhauling the game’s cosmetic outfit system in a way that would save players gold. Instead of having to pay gold to transmog individual gear pieces, players would instead transmog gear slots. That slot would then retain its appearance regardless of whatever item was equipped, useful as players level up and equip new gear over the course of an expansion or season.
Sounds good on paper. However, the system is now testable on the WoW: Midnight beta, and as broken down by Wowhead, players are discovering these supposedly cost-saving changes are actually extremely expensive.
