When your char gets excluded for getting lower transmog pieces, then it isn’t about entitlement. I means people need to farm LFR till they got the full transmog, then farm normal till they got full normal transmog, then farm heroic till, etc. It isn’t realistic. has nothing to do with entitlement. Blizz excludes your char fully when you get a higher piece. It is a bad system.
I had the elite pvp set finished within 4 days of the season launching.
Why should you not be able to obtain LFR or normal mogs as fast? The elite pvp set is “harder” to obtain than doing LFR.
OK. Weird accusation. But sure.
Lets imagine for a moment that OP wants the mogs from WoD black rock foundary. What would he have to do? Some sort of farming. If he wants t3 from Naxx? Farming. If he wants some stuff from SL: Farming.
Why would all of a sudden the current tier be different? I dont get it.
Especially because I already mentioned: The purpose of the catalyst is gearing process for current content, not mogs. Early in the season, mogs are just a spin off. An after-thought. Later on maybe not.
Also: Our friend Billyblue already mentioned ways to acquire gear from S2 and use infinite charges to complete the S2 set. So OP will be able to do the same in S4 with S3. While doing significant progress in S3 tier sets with available gear and a bit of luck.
I fail to see how your vision of what is moral or not is somehow superior to even suggest the idea that people should get special treatment for “boosting a group”. As if… You got a lot of ego to think that 1 individual can carry a whole raid, even it its a LFR raid.
But the items are available to the high ilvl characters through other means. Just put World Content gear through the Catalyst at a later date.
Thats actually better because it means you don’t need to run LFR or content below your level to collect the items. Thats saves your time and lets you do other things.
Blizzard are respecting players time… for once. And the players don’t like it!
Good for you.
But Why should they be able to get those Mogs that fast? That’s the question you should be asking.
It’s Season 3, you have the entire season to earn the Season 3 mogs. You don’t need to do it in 4 days.
Again, the problem with the game is that appearances are become too easy to get to the point where it’s nearly free.
Tier appearances have never been this easy to collect, there is not need to make it even faster.
You just said it earlier: Working for it.
That’s how you obtain the elite pvp set.
The LFR set is just a waiting game for charges if you don’t need them to upgrade gear, no work yet it takes longer to obtain than the elite pvp set, which requires you to be better at the game than LFR-level content. If you put work into it, you should be able to obtain it as fast as the elite set.
Because you did the content. You went, did arenas, reached 1800. Good for you.
I was doing 22s and 21s the first week of the patch too. And got my free tier set after 8 days of launch on reset day.
Now, if you want mogs, go and do the content. Farm gear, make alts… ect… as you did for PvP. And if you are REALLY good at it, like you are in PvP, then you will get your mogs way ahead of anyone else.

Apparently you didn’t put much work into it at all.
For a player like me who has no interest in PVP, getting the Elite set would be a challenge and something to work towards. Something I don’t really have time to do right now.
But we’re not talking about the Elite PVP set. We’re talking about LFR sets. And the way you collect LFR sets is by collecting Veteran Gear and putting it through the Catalyst at a later date.
So for the time being you can flex your Elite gear, whilst very few people have it. And later in the patch you can flex your LFR appearance with your Season 3 Hero glow to continue to show your achievements… you do have the Season 3 hero appearances right?.. probably not.
Exactly. Play the game, get the appearances.
Which makes no sense that it’s harder to acquire than the elite set, considering how easy it is to do LFR-level content.
Apparently you can’t read either.
But as both I and Uda have pointed out. You just need to play the game, collect the pieces and spend your catalyst charges over a period of time and you’ll have the appearance.
It’s time-gated. There isn’t a problem with that. Get over yourself.
Because not all content has to be about skill. Sometimes it has to do about grind.
I have the “Insane in the Membrane” achevement. Old school one, with all the deleted reps that used to be a requirement.
Is there ANY skilled involved in that? Absolutely not. But few people have it.
LFR mogs are the same. Just grindy.

If you’re gonna try to be smug: Yes, I do.
I’ll have to take your word for that.
The grind. One of the things I love about this game is the grind. No matter how simple or complicated it becomes. It’s what keeps me coming back. I love it!
stop assuming stuff about me lol. i never said that. a hc geared player doing lfr is boosting. they do something they don’t need and there’s a way to reward their time. nothing about ego here lol.
personal loot should be the default way & give tmogs as rewards to people above a certain ilvl, i fail to see how that’s a problem
I think in the specific circumstances where you’ve collected the higher level mog and are now ineligible to roll on LFR items as a result I think it is reasonable to allow the Catalyst be used to unlock a mog. This isn’t for actual tier piece as they already have the higher version.
The other option I wouldn’t oppose is that if you unlock a Mythic Tier Piece it automatically unlocks the lower mogs. But I think there is more gameplay in letting the Catalyst work for free when it’s purely for mogs.
Doesn’t work for weapons, doesn’t work for off pieces from another classes tier set. Only works for your own tier set and in the case of an item that has a shared model with a raid off piece, getting the tier version doesn’t let other specs on that armour type wear it.
If you want a priest to wear the mage helm model, you have to loot the off piece from larodar. If you want the priest shoulders on a warlock, gotta loot them from gnarlroot etc.
All catalyst solves is tier and there’s way more models in there than that.
OK. Fair. But then the whole mog collection process needs to be overhauled because legacy content is even worse and more grindy than current content.
And because current content = gear for power. ( Its not my opinion, its Blizzards policy to give priority to player power in the first months of current content. ) then what needs to be changes is legacy content.
Not LFR content or catalyst.
Yes you did:
Right there. The confusion might be what “boosting” or “carrying” means. It means: CARRYING the raid on your shoulders. In other words, everyone else dies and those individuals on their own kill the boss. Thats what a carry is.
Far from this. A person from HC does more than a person with out yes. But he cannot solo the boss alone. Therefore, he gets gear with the same chance as everyone else.
