Prestige is smoke and mirrors

None of this changes the fact that blizzards argument is flawed, there is no prestige as a game, when anyone can buy gold and pay for every achievement.

This is a point of view, not a fact.

I don’t share your point of view, neither does Blizzard.

I can buy any achievement, armour set or mount, it’s not a point of view, it’s a fact.

And people who do, do so because there is prestige associated with them.

If a title can be bought its not prestigious.

If it is obvious, but it isn’t.

What does that even mean?

If being an Olympic athlete is prestigious, does someone else doping make the achievement for the others non prestigious? No it doesn’t. People piloting aka cheating doesn’t make it non prestigious.

yep well said

only people that are lazy and think they are owed everything , demand everything . achieve nothing.
these type of people are why Games are becoming boring and stale.

  • if you are not good enough to achieve the reward. you dont deserve it.

they remind me of spoilt children

im glad Blizzard has put their foot down, im glad they have made a distinction in the Q&A video recently. and they acknowledge rewards are only for those that achieve it.

Do it then.

How you choose to obtain those items doesn’t affect how I enjoy them.

Rubbish, I can buy every achievement and mount and armour set and no one would ever know I bought it.

That is exactly the point I was trying to make.

nobody knows, and guess what, nobody cares either

I think OP is just upset that he now has to pay for boosts to unlock these appearances, just that doing it because it was too easy.

Wait till they take away something you enjoyed doing. I did 450 delves solo, it was fun getting the gear. if they want to take away that fun I will take away my sub.

Some people wishing to take the easy way for something and cheat does not undervalue other people achieving these things fair and legitimately by themselves

Other people buying boost or botting or rmting or wintrading or cheating otherwise is not mutually exclusive with people also achieving things by themselves due their own merrits.

they are taking away something I enjoy doing.

They’re taking away being able to upgrade items to unlock transmog.

Well, you can be fine with it I’m not.

Is that your whole argument? Fomo kicking in bad. Damn.

Okay let’s spell it out. The devs use the excuse ‘they want it this way for prestige’. there is no prestige in a game where I can just buy gold and pay for any mount, armour or achieve runs.

If everything is for sale, even levelling your toon, it’s not for prestige.

What is it for? One of two things or both.

To force people to raid again.
To sell gold tokens.
