wow Hide All Slots Except Pants Option Coming in Patch 8.2

[Stan 5,242]

In the next World of Warcraft content update, you will be able to hide everything except for pants at the Transmogrifier.

In the latest Live Developer Q&A it was revealed that a "Hide Chest" function is coming in Rise of Azshara. Today, we learned that you'll be able to hide not only your chest armor, but every slot except for pants.

Blizzard (Source)

They said in the Q&A that we will be getting a “Hide Chest” option soon!

Once this change hits we will be able to hide cloaks, helms, belts, shoulders, chests, and shoes! (If you have Griftah’s authentic Troll shoes)

So why not let us hide EVERYTHING!

Id be fine with just hide gloves and bracers since those are the two pieces that annoy me the most whenever i am trying to make an elegant transmog. Also we can basically already “Hide” our pants on most classes anyway thanks to loincloths and other skimpy leggings.

Okay! Done.

Except for the pants.

I spoke to the development team just now, and they are determined to make this a set of changes that give players ways to hide every slot.

Except pants.

We’ll let you know as soon as we have details on how that’s going to come about in a future update to the game.

The "Hide Chest" option is probably the most exciting one, because you will be able to show off tattoos and fel marks on your character. This applies to Demon Hunters, Lightforged Draenei, Mag'har Orcs, Nightborne, and Zandalari Trolls.

But, the pants are the most important part!

Or like, you know, boobs. This applies to any female character ?

It's probably just me, I like a lot of the single shoulder items, but there aren't enough of them in the game. So it'd be cool if they could add a 'Hide Left / Right Shoulder' option.

It's a very clever way to distinguish between actual female players (uses chest) from men playing female characters for aesthetic reasons (hides chest).

"Except pants."

Wouldn't want anyone to cheat for that pantless raid.

Some people want to show shirts regardless of gender lol

I have the coolest looking gear but I decided to hide it so no one can see it!

[Arcling 898]

Makes sense, especially with mentioned races like Lightforged or Mag'har. If they are in full armor, they all look basically the same like their "main" races, hiding some armor gives at least some option to distinguish them more.

For years now players have been transmogging gear to look like garbage (comparatively)  farmed up from Vanilla content, just because it's rare, or as a goof, or because they're nostalgic.  The most expensive and coveted gear by people who care about gear appearance is largely green stuff that was never really very good, and never really looked good, but it's rare or it's slutty or, whatever.   I'd rather see partial nudity and even more options for variation alongside contemporary gear and design  rather than crude with garish colors because back then it didn't matter in an engine that had no real shading model and everything was Saturday Morning Cartoons colors.

But the pants are the most important part to hide! But close enough. My dream of Naked Gnomes is getting closer.

I wonder about this change.  It seems sexist to me, to be honest.  If you're going to do one, the pant thing should be gone too.  Sends a message this is a male based game, which it isn't and shouldn't promote unfair treatment.

This is good news especially for transmog addicts!

...how is it sexist?  Neither gender gets pants-removal option.

Pretty unrelated but after seeing the April Fools Patch notes I re-read some old ones and in the notes for 2011 I found:

User Interface

• Show/Hide pants has been added to the Interface Options menu.

Thought it was funny and that you might like it ?
