thats what i thought too, being able to see the enemies sense of fashion gives the game a sense of character, in my hours of playing the game after the change its been quite boring killing my enemies now that it doesnt feel like im killing an individual with a unique choice of colors and armor combinations to show off an art of character transmoging, its more of i killed someone that is in a set of armor that many other hundreds of people have and are wearing.
i still believe that it would be better for people to have an option to toggle on/off alternate appearance to show on the enemy side.
