Something I've noticed lately is that people are putting less effort into status/bragging transmogs. Like TCG stuff, Old Naxx sets from BMAH, GF'd gladiator illusions, etc. People are more-so focused on themed transmogs that make them look like they fit into the world as some kind of faction or theme.
While I simply just like the looks of a lot of that old stuff, I am very selective of what is and isn't tryhard for attention for the sake of attention/jealousy. If something is OG, it still needs to pass what I consider unique enough compared to other mogs available to be worth using.
Since the release of classic WoW, OG status on retail just kinda screams desperate for attention. Wow you have expensive TCG tabards, Naxx gear, GFd stuff, etc? Seems you must put classic wow on a pedestal. Why tf are you on retail then?
At a certain point some people are just showing off how fucking old and bitter they MIGHT be lol.
Also Twitch drops and Trading Post have devalued a lot of inflated costs and legitimacy of older things. And that is a bummer to an extent, but I'm in the mindset that FOMO ruins games and any game you pay for should have EVERYTHING that has once been included in the game to remain included. It's also only a matter of time Magic Rooster Egg and Spectral Tiger appear on Trading Post and all hell breaks loose from people who dropped 5 grand on them instead of paying off their car.
The elitist OG mogs are slowly becoming a fading thing and I don't think it's primarily due to players leaving. In fact I meet lots of old players that use mogs they personally like while all the OG stuff is just sitting in their collection (mostly unused).
I personally will always enjoy most of the TCG tabards though, despite status, simply because they all incorporate well into different elements, color options, etc. They have enough of a balanced design with a secondary/tertiary color that most tabards fail to have (unless it's some cool seasonal/limited gladiator tabard).
