I prefer no transmog as that way you can tell when someone is a good player/ has achieved a lot in game from viewing them. I also prefer the lack of achievements. My main problem with achievements is that they reward underachievers and encourage mediocrity. This is symptomatic of a general trend in Western society towards the lowest common denominator.
People should have to be skilled, or put in a large amount of time/effort to gain gear or pvp ranks that give them prestige. Instead, a person can get an achievement for reaching a low level, collecting some transmogs, surviving a high fall, and so on, they can even gain titles through various petty activities. I do not think people who have nothing to be proud of should be handed unwarranted praise. In time, this kind of mindset contributes to the denigration of a culture and the death of a civilisation.
