Limited time rewards are not a flex

It is.

So what do we do now?
Agree to disagree?

i like they are bringing back the skin honestly…

i still most likely wont get it cause i wont be playing.

No, you should back your own claim by opening a discussion in which you pretend blizzard give equal treatment for every spec and pretend they add everything was given to a specific ones alone.
Like a couple of legendary shields as hunter had 2 legendary bows.
Or party bonuses for each class otherwise some will always be privileged and it’s unfair.
Or reintroduce the timed event that gave the amani war bear, i missed it so it’s unfair.

Please, do, i’m waiting to see if behind your words there is a valid claim, or you’re it’s just a child screaming “i want a pony and i want it now”.

But buying T3 is not deminishing those who completed Naxx40 when it was current? Noted.

You stopped making sense here, stop.

This is a pretty common practice from other games, mostly in mobile games and korean mmos where they put stuff into lootboxes and make it limited avaibility to force people to spend a lot of money on it because it will be removed later.
Of course those people who fell for that will defend it because they spend time and effort for the “exclusivity” of worthless pixels. Their argument is that it was difficult and can’t be replicated because of different expansion with different abilities which is completely wrong.
You can always make old challenge modes adjustable and difficult, even more difficult than before. And no, leveling to 110 in 3 days, getting charity Argus and LFR antorus gear that is way above what mage tower demanded is not a challenge and is not an effort.
I have all mage tower appearances I need and I dont care others getting them aswell. This is nothing special.

And for old PvP rewards here is suggestion, after getting glad mount you can earn PvP token for every next 50 wins above 2.4k rating that you can trade for old pvp enchants or elite sets. Problem solved.

the lesson to be learned here … is learning that … “EXCLUSIVES” means absolutely nothing to blizzard.

so why waste your time to get them. if they will only comeback later…

you have to agree that it kind of removes the whole point of spending the time to get them in the first place.

i can only hope players will learn from this and not take blizzards word when they mention exclusives anymore.

they bend over for the vocal few again and put a yet another massive knife in their own back and magically dug themselves yet ANOTHER grave.

True, no legendary melee mace or axe for my enha shaman aswell. I demand justice!

Limited time rewards are a good way to keep people subscribed. The problem you mention here is that the challenge wont be the same. Mage tower should reward the same things, because it’s old news, but it should scale you down to Legion 180 ilvl, so you actually have to perfect the fight mechanics to get the items. I say 180 ilvl but I don’t remember what was the ilvl of people on the day it released. Challenge modes should never be trivialized by gear and expansion going away. MMOs are all about flexing. I’m tired of participation trophies and mounts for 15s in time. Blizzard should do more epic 0,1% challenge rewards so people in this game can aspire to something epic, instead of just forking out money for a boost or doing it in the next expansion. By giving tmogs for free all of them are wasted. Five months after mage tower released it lost all it’s value.

That won’t happen, based on previous interactions, responses will be cherry-picked and the important questions/points will be ignored(like your point of there being no legendary shield, you’ll never get a response regarding that from the area you are looking in so to speak).

I don’t need to because you’re ripping my whole claim way out of context.
Stuff like this should be viewed on a case-by-case basis.

And in this case, one single spec (not even a class) being given a new skin for their artifact appearance is unfair. Simple as that.

“Stuff like this should be viewed on a case-by-case basis”. Rotfl. Basically it’s unfair only when you say so?

And in the case of the hunter getting yet another legendary bow? Go open a 3d for my shield. It’s unfair!

Most people who think those items are a “flex” are the people demanding to have them back because they do not have them. Many of us do not even use those appearances… there is always some people who think such things are a flex, using it and blabla, but those people also think having a spectral gryphon is a “flex”. They are delusional.

I don’t think you should be entitled to everything just like others said, but having a fel werebear skin and not a single new coloration of all other weapons is kind of stupid. I would argue that the flail from the tank challenges is also unique, yet they don’t make a comeback.

i wish they would bring back the murloc costume item from that blizzcon years ago …

that was much better than anything mage tower had.

i would actually purposely log in and play wow to get that item…

and that is a big thing…

No, don’t be silly. Because the facts make it clear it is or isn’t.
Context matters. Not every situation is the same.

In that case it makes sense because it’s Sylvanas.
If we were fighting some ‘famous dude’ known for wielding a shield, then sure. By all means there should be a cool legendary shield as a drop.

Those sorts of legendary items are basically on a REALLY LONG trajectory. Once every X years a new one is added to the game. So yeah, totally different situation.

Mage tower wasn’t even challenging in the first place.

Yes it was.

Nah.

I went in and popped timewarp and combust and the boss was dead before timewarp ended on my mage.

Thanks Mr context. Did it the day it came out did you? Or close to the end when you overgeared it?

My rogue did it shortly after dinging 110, with mostly heroic dungeon gear and then the legendary pants. It was impossible to die thanks to the pants.

On my priest I had to take off gear to not wipe on the last encounter just in case I critted a heal.
