My DK is midway to 65, and is now wearing the typical clown outfit so common in TBC.
A real bummer when compared to the look of the matching starter blue set. So here’s an idea for the next “barber shop” in patch 4.0.3: The armour customisation shop.
Here’s the principle. You get a menu quite similar to the tabard design menu but you select a main colour, two or three highlight colours and a glow, and for a fee get that applied to whatever you’re wearing. No more clown outfits, but it also removes much of the complaints borne out of the fact that certain tier and season sets look too much alike.
As an added bonus, GMs could create guild presets (3-4 variations should be enough) which the players could chose to apply for additional goodness (and simplicity since if you don’t have that, players who want to have matching armors in a guild will have to do it manually). You could even take it one step further, make additional presets available by guild rank for a really flexible and nifty implementation.
Undoubtedly, this is as much fluff as the barber shop but I daresay there’d be quite a few players who’d love to have something like that. What do you think?

I think the main reason Blizzard resists armor dye as much as they do is because they use recolors as future loot. Perhaps that can finally change a bit now that (supposedly) we’re getting separate armor textures for PVE and PVP, but there’s a certain factor where Blizzard WANTS you to look like a hobo and feel bad about it so you’ll notice it more when you finally complete a set.
At 65 my DK was still wearing most of the set that you end with at 58. A stack-ton of the DKs wandering around seem to think that something is an upgrade just because its a quest reward.
Stop and examine those stats before you switch out the nice blues you’re given free. They’re darn good. Now at 67 I have replaced about 50% of it.
I’ve changed the chest, gauntlets, boots and weapon, that’s already quite visible
