Faction Transfers in the Works...

Couldn't they do that with what Pete posted?
You could have basic item drops in the raid content that give items with unique looks. So people who complete that content can still have that unique "I beat it!" look. Yet if for some reason they hate the look they would have the option to use a different basic item for a different look while not losing effectiveness.

I'm with you in that I don't think Blizzard will do it. I do think they want them all to look alike so it is very recognizable. I'm just saying that I think the core reason for it can still be achieved with what Pete said.

To some extent, but I was taking Pete's idea to be that that form drop was pretty much readily available but the form drop was hard.

If you keep the form drops limited to X content, then what Pete does is simply open up being able to keep an old form with new function.

You kinda can but I don't see a ton of value.
