Take the FOMO part out of that and it still works.
if I can pull myself together to finally grind my head against the wall that is a full mask run whenever I feel like I need a distraction from the voices in my head I can do so, not so much if it is FOMO.
I’ve played this game for over 20 years now, I have rewards from quests that don’t even exist anymore, I never use them, I never think about them, I never flex with them outside the 3 minutes every 3rd year or so I accidently find it in my bank or bag.
Let rewards remain obtainable, scale the content to match current power or force characters down to its intended power and keep it going, its not anymore work than a new “mythic intended” difficutlty with the AOTC mounts still obtainable from that version only.

You want me to give you the name of the oldest game on the planet. Are you that thick. We’ve had this game for 1500 years.

I do not get why you are so passive aggersive with my answer just stating a view that the mount was giving away

You can read about it there
In the end, these “prestigious” rewards will probably be forgotten instead of celebrated but hey, that’s just how I see it.
According to some, simply asking Blizzard to give these items new purpose/meaning is somehow going to “kill the game”

But next season you outgear that content, thus the fomo achiev will be gone or it has no value at all.
I did Stormwind 8 masks this weekend and finished my Through the Looking Glass achiev. Did it feel good? Yes, indeed, and without the fomo background it is all meaningless. You can do it whenever you want in the future, but the achiev and title was for those accepting the challenge.

It’s also different now because the community that celebrated that mount isn’t the one playing today. A good example is Scarab Lord. What was seen as an incredible achievement 20 years ago is now just a relic. No one really cares, and even back then most players weren’t involved in getting it.

Or you tie them to an already existing pinnacle grinds like Mythic+ or raiding to give players a reason to push all season ,the cm stuff would fit perfectly into mplus rewards

I would give an honest nod to a real scarab lord, not because it is unobtainable but because the grind behind it is so maddening it demands at least some acknowledgement.

both these games just accept huge $$$$ REAL MONEY transactions for it. I’m okay with blizzard selling fomo items for thousands of $ so accomplishment still feels like accomplishment at this point because you got it for free at least… lmao
You said easy, you can get everything easily without FOMO and without paying if you want to feel accomplished, don’t move the goal.

Cough, moves goalpost, cough. Even though Blizzard does the exact same thing for everything thanks to the WoW Token.

i was part of that group helping people get the mount and so were some of my friends and yes we are still playing please stop assuming and tbh legion was not that long ago compared to scarab lord.
You can not compare a realm wide lord V ATOC mount it is frankly absurd.
I never said you weren’t. I didn’t assume anything. Maybe stop putting words in my mouth and actually address my point. Kind of ironic coming from someone who called someone else passive aggressive. Maybe you’re just getting back what you put in.
how do I move goal? My statement is that fomo is needed to keep people interested in playing game, otherwise every reward would have 0 value, you gave examples of games that arent even around for year and charge huge irl money for rewards if someone wants them, laughable
you were saying?
Iam for all things coming back btw so no idea why you are so angsty about it all maybe chill a little.

Nowhere in the statement does it say the people back then stopped playing. It simply says the community is different. Thanks for trying to gaslight me. Truth is, no one likes you because you’re miserable to talk to and even worse to engage with.
maybe word things better please
No skin off my nose , i am not here to be liked and ty for personal attack reported.
grow up … You are example of toxic community in wow, low experience, low engagement, just want everything for free and calling names on everyone
this dude literally said nothing negative to you and your respondings say a lot
Most raids don’t rely on FOMO you can earn the rewards years later. Yet people are still raiding. How do you explain that? On the flip side, a lack of meaningful rewards does make people stop playing. I hit 2500–3000 in M+ and suddenly there’s nothing left to work toward.
Insert meaningful rewards here
we dont need mental warfare as an incentive to play the game simply good rewards
