Pet peeves: The return (Part 8)

I did Sojourner of the Isle of Dorn!

Now for the rest-- later.

"I can’t find any sets that work better for my Worgen Rogue, this is so annoying… oh hey, finally something that doesn’t look too bad, how do OH LOOK. IT’S A PVP ELITE SET FROM BFA S1, WHICH IS NOW NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

Boy howdy, isn’t FOMO fun?!?! :rage:

Edit: Found a year old (so relatively fresh lol) thread about somehow bringing back Elite sets so they’re not just Gone Forever.

Only took 23 posts for ‘Slap in the face’ to be used unironically :upside_down_face: :roll_eyes: :upside_down_face: I am in favour of all PVPers just being pushed in the sea. This sucks.

I should probably look up when next timewalking is, I have heirlooms to upgrade to fill in the gaps getting to 70 but no gear has caused.

their sense of entitlement is as bad as the guys having meltdowns over TCG drops on twitch

Speaking of; should find somebody to ride the ghastly charger.


Also maybe I should race change a few alts and delete a few others because my alt list needs a little bit of trimming.

There’s probably other things too but to me the only sacred fomo item is the qiraji mount. Let that be the only cosmetic we can never get again and put everything else on the table.

Why?

I think that one’s special. It was super far back and the time and group investment and effort needed does make it stand out to other cosmetics where it’s just “kill a boss and get lucky” or “reach x rating in pvp”

That being said i think doing recolours or remodels that are available to all are fine - just that original one that I think should be left alone.

Also I’m an idiot - to clarify it’s specifically the Scarab Lord mount im on about

But its as far back as the spectral cat? Also I could’ve gotten it back on the Sha’tar because they had a late An’Qiraj opening.

I think FOMO needs to die.

All of it.

It absolutely does.

If something is ‘hard to get’? Fine. But don’t then remove the hard to get-ness by making it Literally Impossible to get for anyone who happened to come along after the fact. That just Sucks.

How was the cat unlocked? Genuine question

TCG.

Had to get it from the TCG.

Had to be insanely lucky to get the card OR pay a huge amount of money for the card for the code.

And then when they stopped doing the TCG, the amount of cards with codes not activated became finite.

I’ll be honest like
99% of the reason I’m holding this opinion is because I’m low-key infatuated with the Scarab Lord adventures series LMAO

Maybe Maddie’s just a really good storyteller but that whole grind seems like something way more absurd than anything in recent wow… which is probably a good thing because that grind almost certainly denied everyone involved from seeing grass for a solid week.

But yeah, everything else? Accessible in some form. Still waiting for the ethereal soul trader to show up on the trading post or as a twitch drop.

Also give us Atiesh you cowards

In perspective, I worked my butt off to get the feral mage tower appearence back in Legion.

I would not be mad if other people had to work their butt off to get it now.

I have the Shaman CM set, i would not be mad if that became a reward for doing current M+ or something.

Stop then? Its all or nothing, you really cannot go; “oh but this one item” because then everybody else will go “but this one thing instead.”

EDIT: I do not mind people having to work their butts off to acquire the item now, it just should not be; “never again”

See, Croe gets it :handshake:

I do think we’re bang out of luck though because I do vaguely remember blizz saying they’d never bring back feats of strength which is what i think elite pvp gear is linked to?

Annoyingly.

EDIT: And i do think the difference between that and the TCG mount is Blizz never confirmed or denied if they’d bring those back? (Unless I am mistaken)

Though the feat of strength thing was within the last 6 years.

I made a similar post on Twitter (Foolish) about the Dragonflight Elite PvP sets

A not so insignificant number of unwashed people came crawling out with ‘F off’ ‘Get good’ ‘Lol bad PvP player crying’

God forbid ONE thing be made available to all out of:
Transmog
Tabard
Weapon enchant effect
Title
Achieve
Season mount

Not that I agree with them, but I do understand where mythic raiders come from when the only fomo thing they get is a title (I think?)

What I am seeing though is; delete pvp JFC

I am also of the opinion that limited time raid mounts (Like the Voidwing) ALSO remain available

Just shift them to being a mythic only drop with a low chance so that people can still attain it

No, agreed!

I think FOMO needs to get in the bin fullstop regardless of what it is.

But PvPers are very entitled when as said mythic raiders only get 2 of the things pvpers get that become unobtainable.

But FOMO needs to get in the bin.
