I never use the forums but this has annoyed me enough to come here and post. For November, Blizz have added in the refer a friend reward mount from many years ago to November’s trading post. I really like the idea of the trading post but adding mounts that are no longer obtainable is NOT something that should be done.
Does this mean every time limited mount in the game is now going to end up in the trading post at some point? If so, what’s the point in us using refer a friend now or buying things like the 6 / 12 month subscription packs? Why not just wait until they eventually end up in the trading post?
I hope I’m not the only one that feels this way. Again, I’m not against the trading post itself, but adding rare/time-limited items removes the point of trying to collect rare things.
I can see your point, but does this mean that we should no longer try to get rare/exclusive mounts? Out of curiosity, for example the current 12 month subscription promotion, do you think those should end up in trading post too? Or AotC reward mounts?
The current one will probably not be included
There are still a lot of mounts that can go in before it. I see a better chance for shop mounts taken from the past.
They sold the cindermane charger on the trading post, which is a mount i owned from recruit a friend.
That month i got to save some tender by already having the mount.
Now they have the zebra on there and i get to buy a mount i dont own.
I win in both situations.
Exclusivity is extremely lame.
All cosmetics no longer obtainable in the game should make their way to the trading post imo.
There is nothing wrong with promotional items being used. They were just that, Promotional Items. Whilst I would prefer they added new items, there is no harm being done here.
Ok, I can kind of see your point. I guess I always thought the point of those promotions was a one time thing to encourage people that don’t want to miss out. Do you think the trading post is going to be limited to using previously used promotional items? Or are earned items going to be added to like achievement rewards/rare drops?
wtf? So people aren’t allowed to feel invested in anything that isn’t a real physical object because “it’s just pixels”? And people’s opinions are invalid because they choose to RP? I feel sorry for you
No no not really, the only people who get upset at items returning are generally Gatekeepers and people who hold a game that could disappear at anytime in such high esteem and worth anything of value.
Being a RPer is not really an issue, AD is icky.
Oh also, don’t feel sorry for me, I kinda find it fun winding up people who get upset over trivial things thats all, it’s just the b*tch in me
I can’t imagine them using previous rewards from the game. Most of the time those rewards were taken out to preserve sense of accomplishment at completing the challenge under set condition.
Where as items used in Promotions are just that… items used in promotions. Unless they said the promotional item would be gone forever, then there is no reason why they can’t re-use it.
Having said that, I would rather they made new things. I’ll also point out, I’m not a fan of the Trading Post and it has made the game less good.
Yes, probably. The point? Well you get to have it then and there not many years later. You could be dead many years later so get things whilst you can enjoy them.
