Hello people. What would people say to having rewards from season’s stick around troughout the expancion. i m meaning that we get new seasons and rewards for each patch. but that the old one’s stick around for the entirety of the expancion (cosmetic rewards that is). this way the late players wont be punished for coming in late for what ever reason. being they wanted to level new characters. or computer broke down so the person had to save up money for a new one. with such a system it would be possible for those late players to still earn the cosmetic rewards. bad idea or good idea. let me know without toxicity and give reason behind it

Why would they feel punished?
If they didn’t complete the challenge in the set period of time, that’s not a punishment. they just didn’t meet the requirements to win the reward.
There will be other rewards available to them when they do come in. That’s why the Seasonal rewards tend to be recolours each time.

so your computer breaks down tomorow. you are short on coin until summer arrives. you wouldnt feel punished for losing out on a couple of seasons because of your computer breaking down?
Sure I might feel upset that I can’t participate in the season and work towards the rewards. But life goes on… it’s not really a punishment. I’ll just grab the next set of rewards that are available to me.
Edit. BTW, I used to work abroad for 6 months at a time, I couldn’t play and then be on leave for 4-6 weeks of game before heading back to work. So I am a real life example of this.
so in other words… you dont like the idea that when you finaly get back to the game. you havent lost out on the cosmetic rewards you can still work your way towards it until the expancion ends? (same skill set required ofc)
In the hypothetical situation where my computer broke down and I couldn’t play for 6 months, I would miss playing the game and having the opportunity to earn seasonal rewards.
But I wouldn’t be phased by the fact they were gone by the time I got back to playing.
I just look at what’s in front of me and available to earn today and work towards those goals.
If you look at my edit above (incase you missed it):
I have been through this many times.
yeah i saw it. just wanted to confirm your opinion. thank you for sharing your opinion

Coming from a person who has all MT weapon skins and done all CM gold in MoP and WOD , i would love for everyone to have the chance to earn it again as the gear looks awesome and goes to waste.

Oddly enough, I don’t have any of them and think the exact opposite.
Grats to you for getting them. But I knew when I decided not to buy Legion but was playing before BFA was released that they would be gone, and have lived by that decision ever since.

This would also mean if u sub only for S4 you will earn more for less time? Lol
I cant imagine thatd be healthy at all for player engagement for s1 - s3
Im not saying, that fomo is good, imho id have every mount just dropped to a low drop rate afrer contents passed.
I.e old KSM mount becomes a 1% droprate from dungeons from that expansion,
But i aint keen on the idea of do KSM in s4 and obtain all aeasons mounts lol
You are misrepresenting the word “lost”. In order to “lose” you have to “participate”.
For example, I didn’t lose in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics because I didn’t participate. May be some athlete could not participate because of an injury. It sucks. But they didn’t “lose”.
Now back to the game.
Some seasonal rewards like PVP gladiator titles/mounts rewards are awarded to the top 5% rated players in that season. How can they do that if other players can still earn it in the future?
You are saying same skill set required. How can you do that for M+? Next season there will be 8 different dungeons, different seasonal affix, may be different affix rotations. There will be new tier sets that may increase DPS and make it easier, new trinkets from the next raid, etc. Getting KSM next season, is a totally different achievement.
The same applies to raids curve/cutting edge achievements. Clearing mythic VOTI with gear obtained from the next raid is not the same thing.

well that can also work. and yeah i see your point on the sub part. so either adding them as drops. or adding them to the trading post then. both mounts and tmog from previous seasons
Easy.
Change the rules.
Upon earning glad at end of season u get a currency item to exchange for a glad mount of choice.
Thus would mean u could buy the newest one or pick one of the prior, meaning people who get glad every season would get the newest one, while those who opt out for a older one wont.
Retaining a level of prestige to said mount. As someone behind could simply never have as many glad mounts as u by the same rule.
Changing it to a currency system is prolly the best way.
If u earn ksm u get a currency item to buy a KSM mount either newest one or one of the older ones.
Same for raids for raid exclusive
Same for pvp for pvp exclusive.
This means, u have a choice and can buy the older mounts, but will also mean u will always be 1 behind, u just get to choose the mount that u dont go for.
This would prolly be fairest way around it. But wouldnt be as ideal for solo fsrmers who do old content for such drops. So i guess choose which side of the coin to annoy.

First, that won’t solve the OP’s problem. They stated that they don’t like the fact that they miss a season then they miss a reward. Your solution just made them miss a different reward.
If I use the Olympics analogy again, your solution is like having the winners choose what is written on their medal. So if someone wins a Silver medal in Tokyo 2020, they can ask for a medal that has the design and text of a Rio 2016 Silver medal. An athlete who won in both Olympics will also have more medals. Does that make sense?
You also assume that most people care more about the 3D model of the gladiator mount or KSM mount, etc than they do about the status it indicates. The game has literally hundreds of cooler looking mounts than the DF S1 KSM mount for examples (of course this is subjective and depends on opinion). Most people seek the mount not for the 3D model, it’s for the status it represents.

so clearly this was a bad idea then. people wanting the mounts and cosmetic to stay as a few month’s reward with 0 chanse for late comers to get it. Oh well. was worth a shot to see if people wanted the game to improve on the colective side. instead of being (trolol you wasnt there so fudge you. you cant colect these items in a game where it is all about colecting)
Well this is the thing.
The fact is, the fact these are removed from the game increases the prestige of said mount. So if u just go ahead and make em avaliable to all always. Ur going to kinda burn the meaning to them.
So a compromise has to be struck.
Making it a currency, allows them to be permannatly accessible, most players dont want every mount its simply the one they do want they can no longer get.
What im basically saying in a TLDR.
If u want mounts in a non fomo fashion. Your gonna have to lose something to gain something.
They dont miss any reward.
Because they can always obtain said reward in a later season.
Im sure plenty would trade out the mount from S1 DF for a mount that can actually fly i.e actually usuable.
And given they have statted doing all 4 seasons the same mount in different variation, it could run through all 4.
Basically this.
Removes FOMO as no mounts ever removed.
But compromises in a fashion where continous players arent just fully shafted.
But this is your fault.
You cant so that. Certain rewards had different win coditions so you can reward items for completing task with different win condition.
Bad example.
These days u can buy shadow streaming, and pay 27 pound a month for said service to game without buying a full pc.
People going without a pc isnt rly existing as much these days, not dor those who rly want one atleast.
But i get what ur getting at hah

I think this is the wrong attitude to have with it though.
Just look at what is in front of you and what you can earn today. then you will always have something to work towards.
If you stop and look at what you missed last season, you’ll just end up not bothering with the current season and end up missing out again.
Grendisers Olympic analogy is very good. I’ll add to that, the atheletes worked incredibly hard to earn those medals at those times for that very event. It’s the biggest event with the biggest champions.
