Hybrid Transmog Idea for Classic+…?

So this is just a temperature check, so please don’t crucify me too much.

It seems a lot of people don’t want transmog according to the Classic+ unofficial survey, but also a good chunk that do.

For those that don’t, they often mention the loss of recognition/achievement at a glance of the character. So this got me thinking…

What if a “hybrid” or “limited” transmog was implemented? Let me explain: It’d be tied to each individual item (like pre-Midnight prepatch) AND limited to appearances of items that share an ilvl within ~10 item levels of the currently-equipped item. This way, we mostly retain the whole “gear should be representative of your character power/accomplishments” thing.

Probably a bad idea and I expect downvotes, but just wanted to throw that idea out there. If this is a bad idea, care to explain why?

Just don’t hit the face, please.
