I see alot of people here complaining about blizzard's stance on over cloaks and the much wanted appearance tab. So I thought I would end all your QQ by showing clearly why blizzard is doing what they are doing. Images are taken off the PTR while this overcloak feature was functional for your convenience.

First of all we have a Tauren warrior in Heroic T10 gear with shadowmourne. However its almost impossible to notice his awesome gear due to the overcloak he is wearing. He's also duel wielding low level weapons to throw us off via a macro he uses, well played.

Second we have a full wrathfull gladiator hunter. There's no way you could get away from this guy. But again notice how the overcloak masks the visibility on the gear making it hard to distinguish what exactly he is wearing. A perfect pvp trap.

Finally we have here a lvl 25 druid. This guy is actually naked(NSFW) but the overcloak would make inspecting him a requirement to find this out.

I think its pretty obvious why blizzard's stance on the matter is necessary and I think you would agree its time we got off there "backs" about it.


Sincerly,

EDIT:
The druid is lvl 26, sorry for the misinformation.


EDIT2:
Kampfer from moongaurd provided me a picture of his servers best and most feared rogue. Master of stun-locks and you can tell from the cold blood animation he is obviously assassination spec. Ty Kampfer, enjoy ppl.

Q u o t e:

Here we have a picture of a rogue in complete Relentless gear but because of the overcloak you can't quite make out the gear, nor his supreme arena rating.
