no, shiver in fomo
Blizzard already stated that gears from the past would be unobtainable. Same goes for other achievement tied rewards.
Why not work for rewards when they are current? Like nobody is stopping you to queue arenas or farm aotc.
Also timegated content is here to stay, because it keeps players subscribed. Imagine if we could actually joink past elite sets, cba playing then. Let me log in in 10 years and collect the rewardsâŚ

Iâd support it, since it takes ages anyway to get a badge, and it makes people keep looking forward to queueing. I donât think the elite sets have much prestige anyway, since there are titles, achieves, mounts, and other ways to show youâve played the season
Because your counter arguments are not convincing enough to sway my mind.
But if you want to play WoW Classic, play WoW Classic and earn the rewards as they become available there.

Yeah the vast majority that didnât play back then or were not good enough to get it.
The elite sets will forever remain locked. Mo doubt it would encourage more people to participate, but what makes these elite sets that came out 5 years ago so special?
Why donât you encourage Blizzard to make better/unique sets like the primal elite instead of requesting them to re-introduce old elite sets that came out nearly a decade ago?
Those old sets tell old/new players that this individual achievement 2k way back then, it encourages people to give PvP a chance and earn an elite set for themselves.
Iâm sure you remember the amount of players that participated in legion season 3-4, just for the tier 6 sets. Not only were there a lot of people playing, it also brought in more boosters lol
That is why bringing them back wouldnât be a good idea, especially solo shuffle being a thing. There would be 0 reasons to use it as a T-mog, since everyone would be using them. The only people that are entitled to them, are those that are missing a few pieces from the respective season.
Because itâs an elite set, only for people who are âeliteâ.
Letting anyone have it would devalue its meaning.
False equivalency. An elite gearset is a prestigious reward, nowhere near the same thing as âold technologyâ.
Blizzard can be wrong as they often are. Itâs a crappy design and honestly thereâs no argument that can defend it since the alternative is just better in every way.
Not everyone can be playing the game at all times, also new players join the game later and have missed most events, seasons and certain content by default.
This logic does not track. Current rated PvP participation is low and the main reason for it is lack of rewards; A lack of incentive to queue.
Fomo has never kept anyone subscribed and actually keeps people from participating in the first place.
Just because you donât feel convinced doesnât mean that your arguments arenât countered. You have no legs to stand on because thereâs simply no argument in the world that can defend fomo mechanics.
Irrelevant to this discussion.
The appearances just look nice. Thatâs all that matters.
Why would anyone ask for something similar to primal elite when they can also just ask for Primal Elite?
Also, this is not an either/or situation. They should be giving both because thatâs simply the best decision for the health of rated PvP.
This is not an argument against the reintroduction of old rewards.
Boosters are always going to exist, in all content and thatâs something that cannot be stopped without outright banning the practice and banning the people selling the boosts.
Also a very bad argument because this already applies to existing PvP rewards then as well, regardless of how good the sets may look.
No reason to use current elite sets. No reason to use current gladiator tabards. No reason to use Gladiator enchant.
Reality is that people are going to use the gear that they think looks best, regardless of where itâs from.
Incorrect. They are only entitled to the pieces they have actually earned, as that is how the system worked back then. The requirement to get those elite sets was not only to get the rating, but to also farm out the conquest points to buy the actual pieces.
They failed the second requirement and thus are not entitled to their missing pieces, because they never earned them in the first place.
Are you still going on about this? zzzzz 
Feel free to leave the thread if you canât keep up.
youâre not elite for having the elite set. Youâre only elite, if you have the mount, and in the eyes of elites, only if itâs not from season 2 SL. Then, you also have a huge amount of boosted gladiators from past seasons too.
Sorry to break it to u, bud, but your 3v3 arena elitism for having the mog is a joke lol
What in the world are you talking about?
Its just that this thread had died and gone to sleep. And all of a sudden I start getting notifications form it again.
Just give up. What youâre asking is never going to happen. Blizzard even said itâs not going to happen.
Your reasoning to make it happen doesnât outweigh the reasoning for it not to happen, no matter how much you keep going on and on and on about it.
Boring anyone with a different opinion to death, doesnât mean youâre right.

If you have some fomo mog from 1800 from 3 years ago, itâs not something special, that needs to be for âeliteâ, bc 1. youâre not elite for having the mog, 2. it was boosted constantly, 3. mythic raiders also donât cry, when ppl farm old content, 4. if you need this to feel special, itâs a loser mentality. I have the mog on my main, kogarasu, and I wouldnât care in the slightest, when people can farm it in the next expansion with a badge for the mount, because I donât have ego for this. Itâs not something special. You need to calm down with your weird elitism mental for something, thatâs not elite. Also, itâs a perfect way to spend conquest, if u have too much, i.e. they can sell such a mog for 10k conquest for example every season.
According to who? You? I just opened the forums and had three notifications so clearly people were still talking. All I did was reply.
Blizzard said many things werenât going to happen that ended up happening.
It actually does, thatâs the whole point.
Youâre free to leave. No one is keeping you here.
Who said that it was?
By default you literally are, thatâs why you have the elite set in the first place.
Whatever Blizzard puts the elite achievement at is whatâs considered elite. Personally I wish youâd still have to get 2k+ for the set but thatâs not up to me now is it?
All content in the game is boosted constantly. I fail to see how this is relevant to anything.
No one here is crying about anything. We were having a normal conversation until people with your mentality arrived.
? ? ? ? ?
Who asked?? Thatâs not what this thread is about.
My man I am literally arguing in favor of having the sets return. Why are you going off on me? xD I am literally against the elitism.
Like the actual possession of skill and titles alone would not be enough to set people apart from âthe rabbleâ. The entire idea of âeliteâ and âprestigeâ is toxic in itself, because it encourages a 2-class-society ideology, even if it is just fictional in a video game.
Oh yeah sure. Because the old technology is actually something useful for mankind while some pixels and polygons are not.
Taken from my comparison, a typewriter allowed many people that couldnât write pretty to type pretty. It did kickstart the revolution of writings itself by making it accessible to everyone.
What did those elite sets in WoW contribute to our community other than âto set apart a few from the majorityâ (or in other words, create a 2-class-identity)?

Itâs hard to see irony on forums, when there are so many lunatics, and individuals, who are out of their mind
idk about this one. I think people should have their elite gladiator titles, their mounts, their tabard ,their weapons, but why do they need the mog? Itâs non-sense. Those mogs are usually crafted with so much detail and love, especially in bfa. Why hog everything? I think itâs just dumb, and it only puts anyone off, who is new to the game, because it feels weird to have missed out on so much never returning fomo, bc u just werenât interested in wow in the past. Undead players for example literally miss out on their heritage armor
But they have given very good reason why this shouldnât happen.
Youâre keeping me here by continuing to troll this pathetic and childish idea.
If you want a PVP set, thereâs one in the game ready to earn right now. And it looks awesome as well.
And if you get to S1 Elite, youâll get Deep Cuts from the Vault.
You can get Mythicgear afterwards.
You should get Elite-PvP-Gear afterwards.
There is nothing to justify unequal treatment.

Elite sets, Tabards and weapon enchants have always been intended as top-rating rewards. This is nothing new.
Itâs a competitive PvP mode. People compete for rewards. There is nothing toxic about this.
Youâre on a gaming forum complaining about pixels. Think about that for a second.
Again, itâs a competition. These are rewards for people that perform well.
Donât like competition? Then go play a different game that has none of it.
They have not. Quote them if they have, Iâd like to read it.
False. You can leave whenever you want and unfollow this thread. You choose to stay here.
I donât want a PvP set, I want to be able to collect all of the elite sets.
This. Simple as.

Bro, if they sold my mog for 20k honor in the next expansion, I couldnât give less of a f. Itâs not like people have already 20 other fomo things outside of the mog. Also, with the method OP suggested it would take you probably 5-6 seasons to scrap a single set together lol. Itâs thousand times harder than just playing one season to 1800
