Now i havent seen any other topics about this, Yet...
But i think Blizz should allow us WoW gamers to Transmog our legendary weapons, i mean , we DID work very hard to earn them. That or they should be BoA legendaries or something, lol work with me fellow gamers =)

I honestly have to disagree.
Legendaries are Legendaries because you don't see them being thrown around all the time. They each have a unique model, and making them transmoggable would tale away from their specialness.
They're bragging rights items, meant to be pulled out and flaunted around the city of your choice.

I honestly wish there was a way to transmogrify items to look like your legendaries, but there would have to be some buffer.
Perhaps a 1 to 2 week cooldown period that you can't use that legendary for tmog purposes after using it for one?

On the one hand I see where Blizzard seems to be coming from, that these are special. The same way that some mounts aren't available to all your characters. (the pvp mounts for winning a season)
On the flip side this seems exactly what Transmog was made for. Showing off cool stuff you got way back when.

But the people who would have the transmog are the people who already have the legendaries. There aren't any more people able to flaunt it than already do. They just would be able to do so out in the world, and not just bank sitting.

But then again it would enable people to go out and get some of the easier ones to obtain now that they arent so hard to come across. I just need to create the hammer on my BS right now in order to make the Hand of Rag. Only reason I can though is due to soloing MC on a level 85. Though id love to transmog it once im done, I totally agree it wouldnt be fair for me to get the same type of credit as someone who actually obtained it back in vanilla.

But right now you're getting the same credit as someone who did it in vanilla anyway. Right now you can only use them in town, and if you sit in front of the bank with them there is no way to tell (especially now that race changes are a thing) whether you did it at level, or solo'ed it last expac. The people who had them originally have no additional benefit over the people who got them recently. Adding them as transmog pieces would actually make them useful again for people who had them, but that option wouldn't suddenly make the people who get them now get equal recognition with the people who got them in vanilla, because they ALREADY are on the same footing.

I totally see your point and agree that if id finish the grinding for the mats to make my hammer, no one would know if i had it now, or back in vanilla. But the way i look at it is if we could transmog it, id be more apt to finish it. Right now, i may or may not. I guess on the other hand, it still comes down to luck on if you got it back then or now.

Even soloing it, getting a legendary is a huge PIA. I have done so many Black Temple, Sunwell, Molten Core, etc. runs for rep and transmog, and the drop rate is still pretty low. And farming 100 Arcane Crystals is a huge pain in any event, especially now that Thorium is not the top ore, and the only ones on the AH are 45g a pop.

While I'm sure a lot of people who don't care about obtaining Legendaries now would want to get them if they became transmogrifiable, there are probably way more people out there who already have, or are working on, getting Legendaries just for the sake of having them.
I got my Thunderfury and HoR before there was even any talk about a feature called transmogrifying. Just because I wanted to have them for the sake of having them.
I think it's silly that Legendaries can't be used for transmogging, despite the fact that they are most people's prized possessions, and the equipment most people spent countless of hours of farming/raiding/questing on in order to obtain.
It's like working 80 hours a week for 10 years to buy yourself a Ferrari, only to be told you can't drive it, and you have to leave it in the garage.
