And people don’t have the money for the cash shop tmog or don’t like such concepts are not given an alternative either.
You don’t get to have everything.
Yeah guess what I’m doing and can’t do because someone decided we need overtuned solo content?
Imagine raiding being only available on mythic difficulty, that’s what the current mage tower is like.
I sense the L2P issue here more than it being a solo challenge in MMORPG issue.
Give the shiny things to us, our precious shiny thing’s (Oh no, I don’t post from my goblin)!
Blizzard did educate all players to believe that the only things that matters is mogs and collecting mount, achievements and toys. Since they erase all progression every patch or change system. And blizzard try to say that a new mount is content enough to keep playing!
So don’t just blame the community since they have given feedback to blizzard countless times to stop that behavior and give us content instead, but do they care? Not even the slightest!
Mogs from mythic difficulty is usually better looking and can’t be obtained otherwise.
You think WoW would keep going without the income from shop sales?
I obviously don’t know exactly what portion of their income is from the shop, but based on my involvement in business with the same model (subscription + single purchase options), I think it’s likely to be somewhat higher than 50%. If people stopped buying from the shop, they would have to at least double the monthly subscription to cover the loss.
That’s the reason why I DO buy from the shop occasionally. I love this game, and I’m happy to contribute where I can to the costs of keeping it going.
You can always wait for the nerf. You don’t need to get the transmog as soon as it launches.
If you think you cannot make then wait for the upcoming nerfs and try again after. If you don’t want to give up then… learn from your mistakes and keep trying, if you get annoyed take a break and try after.
I completed mine, I wouldn’t say it wasn’t hard and it took me a few days to figure out; I took breaks and tried again days after because I had to cleared my mind.
With the amounts of complaints it will get nerf sooner or later.
I honestly feel like your priorities are all over the place.
Nowdays it’s normal 
There is nothing wrong buying cosmetics from shop
GGG had success with it people love it and they support company
including myself
the problem with WOW shop is not that they put SET there
it’s how ugly are sets in game and how pretty are sets in shop
This wasn’t the case before
so you know one might think they are doing this on purpose 
That is purely subjective, because…
That is factually not true.
Besides; you’re forgetting that the pieces can be used individually for some cool combos with other pieces.
I totally disagree with this notion.
An mmorpg is NOT only multiplayer content. This comes up every now and then…
An MMORPG is a game where you share a world with other players. How, and even if, you interact with those other players, is up to each player.
The world itself can contain many different types of content (as WoW does), so how you enjoy that content and what content you do; is up to each individual.
Then you’re quite lucky to earn that wage in the first place !
Then don’t.
Are you Belgian or what ?
That’s personal preference, though. One person’s ugly is another person’s pretty. I’ve never seen any transmogs in the shop that appeal to me. Pets and mounts on the other hand…
Sure, look at my profile and you can see how bad I am.
Subjective. Mostly they are recolors and a recolor isn’t worth a different difficulty. Mythic often has different bits and pieces added, with extra effects, but isn’t always what’s desired when composing an outfit. On top of that, I can get mythic raid mogs from previous raid tiers becoming easier (except certain legion raids in 9.0) each and every tier. In fact, once legacy loot is enabled I can easily farm mythic gear from the previous expac.
The exception here is PvP gear, and that’s just bad design. Mogs should always stay available.
Why should they launch it overtuned in the first place? They had a more-or-less good setup on the PTR… If they really care about people having challenges, they can just add multiple difficulties with different number tuning.
Nice that you have time for that, I have to pick between doing fun stuff and wiping for hours in the MT. I prefer to do keys and raid.
Do explain.
MT is the only single player content in WoW with this difficulty. Everything else you can do solo, you can also do as a group.
Not really, anyone earning minimum wage shouldn’t consider themselves lucky, because usually minimum wage is not enough for an affordable living. I’m well over minimum wage myself, and for me buying this set was less than an hour of work.
Yeah I don’t, but that’s not going to get me the set I’m missing now is it?
Also not sure with where you’re from has to do with anything here, no I’m not from Belgium.
Well… Depends… Specifically this sort of thing; yeah.
But there are other things that you can do to challenge your skills as a solo player.
Yeah, true. But that’s the idea behind the MT. It’s up to YOU and you alone.
edit : mistakenly sent the msg mid-way, gimme a sec to finish it
You’re comparing the value of a recolored tier set to both a mtx set and your country’s minimal wage.
That’s the big issue imo. The purpose of the mage tower is not to give you that specific tint of a tier set you could otherwise obtain in a few legacy raid runs. That’s typically a situation where the journey matters more than the end goal.
And even if we were to forget about the mage tower & talk about cosmetics in general : This is supposed to be a game, if you start to think of rewards in term of work hour what’s the point to even play in the first place ?
I play WoW to relax & thus miss on most of the end-game stuff. The moment i start to measure the time I spent in-game in € will be the moment I really need to stop playing.
Yeah, making it the only mogs locked behind content you can’t play with others, which is also overtuned, making it inaccessible to the majority of the game, with no long-term automatic nerf based on gear/level on the horizon.
I’m comparing the cost per hour for the sets, because in the end you can value the time spent in the cost. Doing it like this, you can calculate that the difficulty to get the mog is probably about 2~4x as expensive as mogs from the store, which are also available to all your characters instead of just 1.
If you don’t find Mage Tower fun then why it’s worth keep doing it? I too had to choose between Mage Tower and keys, raid and PvP.
This is the REAL problem with it.
(well, I hate the transmogs, so I’m not bothering with it at all; but that’s another matter).
And? Its still different and can’t be obtained by casuals and cash shop mogs will still be out of reach.
