This is a topic that has been done and said many times, but I just wanna write a little about it.
Blizzard you did the worst mistake by not making sure the Mage Tower Skins weren’t bugged, you gave players hope that the skins were gonna be obtainable, clearly overall the community have spoken, and even people with the skin themselves want others to have it as well.
I did play Legion back in the day, but I was too young, and I didn’t speak English at all, so I had no way of knowing it way timegated back then, I enjoyed the game as a kid, on my druid, it’s a silly blockage, and you really did mess up by having this bug appear only for it to be removed, yes by all means a bug should be fixed, but this topic has been “HIGHLY” requested, how this bug came to life is a slap in the face.
I also wanna just point out, you’re giving exclusive:
Links of pre-patch https://www.wowhead.com/guide/legion/pre-patch-demon-event event, items that were “earned” by doing invasion and endless lag, and not to mention you’re giving away curve mounts to a vendor shop.
By simply login in and visiting barber? Nope. Your hopes - your problems
I don’t want to. Well, ok, I wouldn’t mind them bringing back MT looks - after they bring back t3, ashbringer, atiesh, ZG mounts, anathema, MoP and WoD sets
Imagine thinking your pixels hold any value outside your own perceived worth…
Blizzard should have just released it fully without issue, and not fumble the way they did with the bugs.
It’s honestly pure incompetence at this point:
Just as we need another useless contributor that just has to voice an opinion worth less than nothing. Move along if you’re tired, and better yet, mark the post as uninteresting.
Maybe it’s also just a sign of the times, because many workers nowadays in the gaming industry generally are under severe pressure with AI replacement and that leads maybe to low quality output, because I think it’s hard to have motivated people, when the future is so cloudy
Not sure how changing hair (which was a PAID service back in the days btw) related to appearances from expansion that dropped 9 years ago
That fact that you believe MT was doable in 2-3 tries speaks for itself. You know nothing John Snow, and just want to get it for zero effort given. Only enforces my believe that post-Legion players should never be able to get MT looks, unless appearances are changed, and challenges are tuned and redesigned.
And thankfully Blizz seem to think the same way, at least for now
The issue is not that Blizzard hasn’t released the forms. The issue is that they released it to everyone, and created a need for everyone receiving it to have it and then they took it out after a full day, especially as it’s something permanently unobtainable, not necessarily a bugged reward from legion remix, that would be obtainable with effort
Oh, I make myself no illusions there.
Got laid off myself because I didn’t use AI enough in my day to day job and the company was going full-in on AI, even building their own agents and what not to replace departments inside their own company and intent on replacing them in their clients.
Quality is going absolutely down the drain because of AI slop.
And when I lash out, I do so at the parent companies making this possible, and perhaps at the people that actually accept this as the norm.
Not having a clue is the entire issue. A kid should be able to tell apart the two at a quick glance.
Truly maddening that you still run with the narrative that MT was hard when there’s countless videos that proved otherwise. Sure, it was hard at launch but how many people truly stuck to the challenge? Don’t kid yourself. But you will kid yourself, huh?
Imagine taking pride in a company’s decision for sticking to the most flawed promise, when they’re breaking every other promise they’ve sung. That is, if they’ve ever been able to sing.
It wasnt hard because most people waited until last patch and steamrolled them, myself included, it’s something that should never have been removed and people defending it being removed are just gatekeepers who have nothing else in life but a video game achievement to feel proud of themselves thats all it literally boils down to.
I’ve been waiting for this chance for years — literally.
I never got to play Legion back when the Mage Tower was available, but I always hoped Blizzard would eventually bring it back somehow.
Now in Legion Remix, druids finally got those forms - even if it was by a bug - and honestly, for the first time it felt like my druid was complete.
But now it’s going to be taken away again? That just feels wrong.
Other classes got weapon transmogs, and there are thousands of those in the game.
For feral and guardian druids, our “weapon appearance” is our shapeshift form - it’s what we actually see all the time while playing. Losing that hits much harder than just losing a transmog.
If Legion Remix is about reliving that expansion, then please bring the Mage Tower back so players can earn those forms properly again.
Taking them away after all this time feels really unfair to those of us who have been waiting patiently for years.
Look im super casual and at that time I only had a mage and a hunter (old paladin I retired after wotlk) and I was able to get the frost mage and MM hunter ones but I was working 100 hour weeks at the time so my time was v limited.
But you have to take into consideration people who were young didnt know any better and people who were not even playing then will miss out on a skin because its purely FOMO, tbh Nothing should be removed from the game and everything removed should be readded in some form because at the end of the day it will only upset a minority who think they “earned it”.
I still remember Blizzard even made an official post; it was everywhere, even on the launcher, clearly stating that the Mage Tower would be removed with the pre-patch.
So what exactly was stopping them from doing it back then?
People love to claim it was “easy.” Sure, it was easy by the end of Antorus, when you could literally buy BIS legendaries and face roll through it. So why did you not get it?
Also, if to follow the logic of these people, can I just log in today and claim the MoP CM sets or the Warlords of Draenor CM weapons?
