I'm guessing these sets are currently placeholders. Its unlikely (IMO) that these will be the final design for T9. If this turns out to be the final design though, its going to be a shame. :(

I suspect the idea is to make Allies and Horde look like an army with their shoulderpads on fire instead of bunches of ragtag mercenaries with their shoulderpads on fire. Kinda detracts from the feeling you're a stand-out hero, easily recognisable in the thick of battle.

Anyway, not too bothered since I won't see any of these sets for at least two years the rate I play...

I agree with angel4life93x. I've talked about this with some friends and the way I see it and the way I believe it will just go down is that whatever class/race you currently are with the Horde or Alliance, you can convert said character to the other faction.

For example, if you have a level 80 Tauren Druid, you will only be able to turn them into a level 80 Night Elf Druid as the Night Elves are the only race in the Alliance that can be a Druid.

Humans can be just about everything under the sun where as a Blood Elf cannot be a warrior. So the swap from faction to faction will carry the limitations by class and race. If one race cannot be a warrior, that class will not be available to switch to.

I'm also sure that reputation will play a flip factor as well. If you go from Horde to Alliance and you're exalted with Orgrimmar, you will lose your Org rep and become Exalted with Stormwind and so on, and so forth.

These sets look a lot like what they did with the level 60 PvP gear; Dull, and armor classes are identical, besides the color. "A hunter just rolled on my healing shield" comes to mind.

Very true if you notice when Wrath came out, all the teir sets began to look the same... first they all went black [in color] now this? lol yes indeed sad...

Also I think a surefire sign that Blizzard is getting lazy is the names of T7 stuff; all the same T3 except "Valorous" and "Heroes'" in their names...

I want simple badass gear without all magic glowy stuff like T1 + T2 for a change :P

I'm a warlock and the gear I picked up from Ulduar already makes me look like a priest! Now I'm forced to look like the rest of the caster classes?!?

I hope they put a fart trail on warlocks to make us stand out, like they did with Tier 3/7 armor, lol.

but cmon gais horde and alliance look different nau!

Alliance gets some weirdass Dark Magician from Yugioh armor (oy)

And Horde get gorillaman armor... (more oy... and a little bit of laughter)

Wow, they get lazier and lazier. Priest/Shaman/Mage all have exactly the same set, but no wait the COLORS are different! WAY TO GO BLIZZARD!

i doubt you'll be able to switch from human pally to tauren druid it'll probably be like human pally to blood elf pally, im just sayin.

WoW!!!! ... this is fantastic news ... i have two ally characters that i no longer play one a level 70 the other an 80, i made a DK on the realease of WoTLK and really enjoy playing on horde. The fact i will be able to change my chars to horde is mind blowing =P ... Hmmm i wonder what the equivalent of a gnome will be =\ ... im guessing a troll maybe. Happy Days xD

On a more serious note, i would like to know about F2P games as well. This is the only income they recieve, take this away and they may as well close shop.

Question about this quote:

The virtual currency, which is converted into real money at a certain exchange rate, will only be allowed to trade in virtual goods and services provided by its issuer, not real goods and services

By issuer do they mean the company who owns said game?
