i don’t see how getting a different version of the model devalues the original one. the new werebear has different colors on it, it’s not the same.
Listen, I get that OP is a bit rage driven and doesn’t bring their point across eloquently, but their point is right.
What is the problem? Seriously? You feel less special because someone else gets to have the same or similar kind of fun as you? I was there in Legion, I was there in vanilla. I don’t mind! Have at it! Means I get to collect more appearances on alts and specs I didn’t get to play at the time! Why are you so defensive?
and this quote here is the perfect response to this bizarre defensive behavior
Your memories and experienced aren’t tarnished by other people forming theirs. Imagine going to a concert from band that now split up, then a few years later, this band forms again for a new tour, and you’re mad at all the fans who didn’t go before they first split up! Madness!

It has nothing to do with feeling special. It was a time limited event where it was known that the rewards would go away. You don’t hear me crying about not having put in the effort of unlocking an elite PvP set or gladiator mount. I could have maybe gotten it, but I didn’t and I am not entitled to it. Pretty simple life concept that you don’t always get what you want.

Okay, so you agree on putting back other weapons as well. Good to know
But do you understand the fundamental difference between the Mage Tower and the subsequent rewards, the extremely thematic artifact appearances VS the “trophy” nature of pvp rewards? PvP is a competitive game, it’s very much like a sport, you compete you, if you win, you get a medal. If you compete on the 2020 Olympics, you win a 2020 medal, you can’t claim a 2016 one! That’s normal.
The mage tower is an instanced pve event. For the same reason you can go back and one shot the lich king or onyxia, and grab their juicy loot for tmog, so should be the artifact appearances! They’re the same in nature.
If you want a limited time event reward, you got your achievements to be proud of! There’s literally a “Feat Of Strength” tab for things that are no longer available! Problem solved!

Except there is no problem in the first place. Those were rewards from a time limited event, some have them, some don’t. Pretty simple concept.
I didn’t get the tabard from going through the dark portal because I was still too busy levelling in vanilla. I’m not entitled to that. Nor to such things as the scarab lord stuff.

It’s not a matter of entitlement, it’s just a fun tmog that now days, has no further meaning, besides flexing “I was there”. If you make them available again, you remove the “look at me I was there” and are kept just with “wow this is an awesome tmog”.
I don’t have the scarab lord staff neither, I was a kid when that was out. But that’s a much, much bigger experience / event. Entire realms had to work together, then really hardcore guilds put sooo much effort. Some guilds competed against each other really hard to get that realm first opportunity. Once again, competition. The mage tower, meh I remember killing my main spec boss within an hour or two.
Why waste all this amazing artist effort? To this day artifact appearances are some of the most popular tmog choices, because they’re so thematic, and people really enjoyed that aspect of class identity. (mind you I say that aspect specifically because there were defo some issues then with abilities, ha!)
Raids and dungeons are timed events, in terms of difficulty and relevance. Heck all the game is. Why have different rules for different things?
I will give you this, they probably could have added some new colour variants to it for all specs. That way people could still earn something similar. Personally I don’t care if I don’t have something because I missed out on it.
While that is true, if you bought the Legion epanison it is rational to expect, to be able to acces all the Legion content, including rewards and all… after all, you paid for the expansion, paid your monthly sub
So its not that unreasonable to feel “entitled” to this thing
That’s not how it works.
no i don’t. otherwise we should reinstate pretty much everything, including the lost tbc bs weapon that are no longer craftable, all the original mounts that have been removed, all the aotc mounts that are gone now etc etc etc
some thing are just gone, we should all learn how to deal with it.
So you sprouted some nonsense about Werebear, but once I pointed out that what you said about the Werebear can be applied to ANY OTHER MT weapon (with the same exact logic you used to justify the Werebear) then you back track and say things like that.
Okay at least you are coherent…oh wait.

yep i was challenging with lrf antorus gear. kappa
Or you know, we want them because they are cool? Because they would match well with a specific mog/mount combination?
When I started wow I was in love with corehounds. My first hunter pet I got attached to was a core hound (the red ones not those bs green ones). Then one day I see someone ride a corehound and I was like wow I want this mount! Not because it was rare. Not because it was exclusive. But because I loved corehounds. Then I find out it was removed from the game. You know what I did? I quit for 2 months. What’s the point of playing I though back then if you can no longer obdtain the things you like in game.
I came back and started mount collecting. Once I have exhausted all the mounts I want to collect I will probably quit again. Now I am asking you this. How many people quit the game because something limited became available again. No one. How many people quit the game because stuff they want is no longer obtainable so they have nothing they want to work towards. More than a few I am sure.
Adding content to the game never actually hurt the game. Removing it however does.

Its not wasted. If you make them avaible again then they will become wasted becouse nobady will care about them. People will get them and when they found out how 99% of realm using them people stop using them becouse everybody including you wants to feel special among players and not walk with same weapons used by entire realm.
Why do you think that everytime there is some mount promotion or generaly added new mount, what everybody gets, players use it for like 1-2 days and when they find out that everybody using him they all stop using that mount.
You do realise not everyone is a narcissist and some people use items/transmog because they like their appearance or match and don’t care what other people wear?

What nonsense? It’s not the same appearance as before. And yes, technically they could do the same for every weapon, but there is no need to, and again, asking for it is childish.
Simple.
Yes, i’m coherent.
So if it’s not the same appearance why you are so much against it, after all is not the same appearance right?
How exactly is it childish to ask for the same exact treatment Druid received?
Because that way they would touch your precious paladin exclusivity?
So Werebear is okay because “it’s NoT tHe sAmE” but somehow asking for it for other classes as well is childish.
Yes sure, tell me more about that.
Where did i say this?
You don’t want some specific new appearance, you want one (and a recolor of things already out) just because the druid got one.
As i said, childish.
And
Showcases your hypocrisy. Get your stuff together before posting absolute nonesense.
What is put on display here is very much entitlement and should not under any circumstances be supported.
