Not going to be boring, but don’t you think that it’d be a good idea to make some kind of “Timewalking” challenges like “MoP Challenge Mode” or “WoD Challenge Mode”, or even “Timewalking Mage Tower”?

I had been toying with that idea because I have recently re-subbed after more than 7 years, and I have missed a lot of stuff. I would personally appreciate that, because I’d like to have them for transmog

Horrible idea, let things be unique and unobtainable, thats what gives them their value.

There will be new expansion specific cosmetic items in Shadowlands 100% and you have your chance at some then, but for the others, that train left long ago.

The truth is nobody cares about the value of those things

Speak for yourself. You might not care about it, but it feels good to stand out.

If everyone could get anything at any point in time, whats the point of any competetiveness? All achievements lose their value. Oh you got a Cataclysm Gladiator Mount? Cool, but i can still get ‘‘Timewalking Cataclysm Gladiator’’ next week if i want, no biggie, no stress.

But what if someone was not able to get them because he/she was physically prevented from doing so?

I, for an instance was not able to play because of college and bad hardware, not to mention the lack of money. If I was not prevented, I’d probably share your opinion as well, but the things were not meant to be.

What I wanted to say is that some players, especially the ones returning after a long time should get some kind of a chance to experience that content as well.

Sorry but you missed that train, i missed stuff when i started playing because i was young and didnt know about the game 100%, but thats that, i missed it, no more to it.

But in your heart of hearts, you would like to get a chance to experience that again, don’t you?

Adding Tier 3 tmogs to bmah didn’t kill the game.

No i wouldn’t, because i was not part of that era of the game. I wasnt there to do it.

Meanwhile I’d say it feels pretty crap to be approached by a newbie and have to watch their disappointment when they realize they can never get the shield with a cool and unique flail-style weapon.

Unavailable content doesn’t impress people, it makes them sad. Somebody else’s achievement does not invalidate your own. Let people have cool cosmetics and earn them via Herald of the Titans system. :clap:

I honestly dont see the validity of just removing all the desireability of unique cosmetic rewards from veterans of the game because the guy who walked through the door 2 minutes ago is bawling his eyes out over ‘‘WAAAHHHH I WANT IT TOO’’

Thats life, you can’t have everything, and completely devalueing everything by just giving everything to everyone really destroys the value of these items.

Take T3 gear as an example, it used to be that seeing someone in full T3 meant they were a veteran player, nowadays it just shows you’re a gold farmer. The allure of T3 has been devalued, just like every other unique obtainable cosmetic would be.

Some have families to take care of irl,some have college,some others like myself have other main games like CSGO etc.

That leads to the conclusion that everyone has different irl things and priorities but EVERYONE at the same time has the same time window to obtain the things which will become non obtainable after some time.

It’s up to you,your priorities and how you will distribute your time.

It doesnt matter if you are returning player or active est Classic.

I’ve been kinda ‘active’ during Legion,managed to get some MT appearances BUT i’ve missed Flamereaper (Havoc) because i didnt play DH back then.
Thats the main reason i cant level a DH to 120 now,because i’ve lost the appearance forever.

I didnt play actively a DK to max level so i’ve lost Soul Collector (Frost) and i wanna killmyself for not having prolly best weapon mog imo for that spec.

But thats it,i had my time window to get them but my priorities and time management failed.
I just hope something fancy and good looking will come in the future(expansion)

Same thing happened with: https://www.wowhead.com/item=18608/benediction

I had this bookmarked and from day to day i used to copy the item link ingame to inspect my Priest having this NON OBTAINABLE item as mog and i was so envy for the players who had it but i didnt want to come back else it would be just a plain common mog like rest.

In every single online game there are items which are not longer available and players can showoff or feel unique by not having 100% of the playerbase got them.

From CSGO to DotA to even Age of Empires 2 DE,there are event items with a time limit.

Get over it and be patient,maybe in future will have something better.

There have always been exclusive rewards in MMO’s, this is no different. It kind of defeats the purpose of having unobtainables if people would be able to get them a couple years after the fact though.

Imagine how rare it is to see a Scarab Lord, that’s because it was tied to an event that happened a long time ago and was made exclusive. I’m not a Scarab Lord, and neither do I want to be one, although it’d be cool if I was (meaning, I’d only want it if I got it back then).

And don’t go out saying that this isn’t comparable to something like that, it’s just transmog! It definitely is comparable, maybe it’s not as rare to have the mage tower skins, but in due time it will be rarer. Nobody thought that the MoP challenge mode transmgos were rare back in MoP, but I’m seeing less and less of them every day.
