The Warlocks Den Forums - View Single Post - homogenization of gear.. Am I the only one who thinks this is a bad idea?

It seems the general player base is fine with the changes coming to gear in Wrath of the Lich King and how now the gear that drops can be used by multiple classes.

However A few things bother me a great deal regarding this change.

For one now there will be more competition for a piece that drops there then was before as different classes will all be rolling on it. I understand the idea behind making gear that drops usable by more then one class and how some say it will increase your chances to get gear but I don't agree. I think it will be be same or even less.

2nd, does this mean that warlocks, mages and priests will all look the same? If so this is horrible. Does this not bother anyone else? Perhaps I'm wrong on this one as I am not in the beta. Can someone in the beta confirm that the gear looks the same across all classes?

3rd. Take my two points above and don't you get the idea that the developers have gotten lazy when it comes to loot? I fail to see how this change benefits anyone other then maybe rouges and hybrids who will see the greatest benefits from this change as there will not be much competition for leather and the sp changes seem to benifit hybrids mostly.

What are your thoughts?
