Armor that is currently equipped can no longer be transmuted. (Change it back)

As of right now:
“Armor that is currently equipped can no longer be transmuted”
Please change this back. I don’t know what exploit was being used but this is a big pain in the kitten.
Why can’t I transmute a skin onto the armor I’m wearing?
Before:
I could just double click on the HoM transmute skin, then drag my equiped armor onto the box, then it ok and what I was wearing became transmuted.
Now:
I have to unequip the item, then transmute, then reequip. Big pain in the kitten.
What was the reason for this change anyway?
Are you transmuting armour every hour or something?

I enjoyed doing it that way too, maddbomber, but even I don’t think it’s that big a deal. And compared to how many things they fixed in this patch, I can live with it.
Of the things to kitten about, this one is insignificant.

Don’t hold it to me… but I believe because there was a bug that was rendering players nude when transmuting items. This was their solution to the problem. Can’t have nude people running around in a 12+ age game.

Nope, the nude bug was related to
“Transmuted cultural armor now prevents opposing races from equipping it.”

I stand corrected.

Yes, actually. This is not as time consuming as you think. I can go to the HoM vendor and stock up on 20 of each (example) medium armor piece for my Ranger. They stack, so bag space isn’t a problem. When I loot an upgrade I can try it on and if I dislike the look, pop open my bag and transmute it on the spot. It was so effortless that I’d sometimes do it mid-escort event without missing a beat.
Like the original poster, I don’t understand the reasoning behind the change. If it was to stop some sort of malicious bug, that’s fine, but as is it just seems like change in the name of making a process more annoying.

Because taking off a piece of armor is so hard? Come on don’t be ridiculous.

i didn’t even know you could before…i was always unequipping before transmuting.
I think the understandable question here is “why is this change suddenly necessary?” as it’s been working differently for weeks now. There’s nothing unreasonable about questioning a change that comes out of the blue. I think it’s more unreasonable to oppose the question being asked.
Trust me, if they have the time they’ll provide an answer. If they don’t, they won’t. Forum users don’t need to run interference for them.

I have to agree. I don’t like this change
