Yep. I'd have more understanding if it was only the
setbonuses/trinkets (preferably if they just gave lesser setbonuses
that can't be mixed with regular raid gear), but the change to the
looks as well, to me suggests the whiners won, especially given how
really poor the LFR gear looks, it's like greens, not even as good as
a decent dungeon set from earlier days - exactly what the raiders
wanted, of course!

I'm trying to not get too annoyed, since hey, I haven't liked the
looks of tier sets in years anyway, so it doesn't hugely affect me,
but it's just the principle of the thing. Attitudes towards the
non-hardcore had been improving in recent years, this just feels a
backward step, and a totally unnecessary one.
