So, 4.3 has been released, and from what I can tell, many, if not all, of my suggested changes for Transmogrification, which I posted here:http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3341756135?page=1 almost two months ago, have not been implemented, or, as far as I can tell, even looked at by anyone with the power to implement them, despite the almost absurd amount of evidence that they are necessary changes if the feature is to be anything more than a token gesture.
The fact that this is the result of my original post leads me to believe that Blizzard is, in fact, content with Transmogrification being nothing more than that. I'm sure I do not know why, though, as all of their major competitors are making outfit customization options that far outshine Transmogrification in every conceivable way, and many of them are matching, if not improving upon, virtually every other aspect of your average MMORPG that WoW has. If Blizzard wishes to continue to release such sub-par material, I do not doubt that WoW's decline in popularity will only worsen as time goes by.
On a more personal note, I would like to express my displeasure at being forced to use a rough approximation of my preferred transmogrified appearance instead of the appearance itself.
Instead of this:

Granted, the differences are not particularly numerous, but that chestpiece in particular, while the closest approximation of the Invisible Vest that makes an attempt to match my outfit- I looked through every single leather chestpiece in the game-, is an eyesore and really ought to be burned with fire, in all honesty. The strap across the back, in particular, is quite horrendous. I would not wish such a chestpiece upon my worst enemy, yet Blizzard has seen fit to do so to me. This is unacceptable.
