Tier 3 confirmed, Thank you blizzard

To not be returning :slight_smile:

Time to put my amazing set back on, thanks ion for keeping it rare and nice for the dedicated playerbase.

Now all we need is confirmation of brutosaur NEVER returning aswell, so the handful few stop asking for it.

And before people ask why then devalue tcg, Because blizzard doesn’t profit from it anymore, only third party websites making thousands from tcg loot, so obviously blizzard has to protect their own product.

I’m having hard time understanding how you’re perceiving yourself as such a dedicated gem, because you own T3 and the longboi. Both were esentially p2w, and both can be obtained by the biggest noobs wow has, by just buying enough tokens / gold.

I would totally get it if you would gatekeep gladiator mounts, CM rewards etc., which are you know, an actual proof of skill, rather than T3 pieces and the longboi, which can be purchased with a few €.

That’s not even a conversation, as a multiple gladiator mount owner and 3x rank 1 titles, i would not even entertain the fact of them ever returning to the game.

Yup rolex and lambo are pay to win so they are not valuable, that’s not a good logic to have.

Swiper glad their “investment” is safe! Read all about it.

I don’t even pay my gametime with real money, it’s all the gold i make, which it has been quite painful with the token prices recently.

Gladly, making gold as easy as ever in this game and even a few hours weekly can net you millions if you know what you are doing.

Unless we read a different post it wasn’t strictly implied that they won’t ever add them or anything in the future they’d just want to make a more appropriate way to earn them than just vendor buy them.
Hypothetically speaking, if this were to be a thing in the game, we would take a much more judicious approach to availability of these crafts as to opposed to something like ZG. It should take significant investment and dedication as well as a bit of a gold sink to get all of this together so that ideally people feel like they have more control over chasing the appearances that they want from some legacy content.

Also I believe we talk about the same brutosaur mount that was announced mid expansion that it would disappear at the end of BFA so wow tokens sky rocketed for people to get it before it was gone?

It’s even easier since token price is so high. I just get my grampa’s debit card and buy gold cap for only a few hundo.

“Few hours”? More like a few minutes!

Sure. That would totally put an end to it.

cough

Yeah, datamining reveals some interesting things. It’s something we’ve been exploring through the profession system broadly looking at no longer obtainable appearances. Old ones from ZG are ones we’ve touched on in the past. Enterprising adventurers and explorers who poke around in 10.1.5 looking at some of the related old content may find some interesting things there. When it comes to Tier 3, we’re also very mindful of the fact of there are players out there who have spent millions of gold on the Black Market Auction House cobbling those sets together over years. There’s also folks who have these as their most prized possession from having raided vanilla Naxx forever ago. Hypothetically speaking, if this were to be a thing in the game, we would take a much more judicious approach to availability of these crafts as to opposed to something like ZG. It should take significant investment and dedication as well as a bit of a gold sink to get all of this together so that ideally people feel like they have more control over chasing the appearances that they want from some legacy content. But someone who already got it all from the Black Market Auction House isn’t looking at this and saying 'well that sucks and I feel like my investment has been devalued by this change’.

What Ion is saying it that if they decide to do it, they will make it expensive so that the BMAHers wont moan as loudly.

This is no confirmation of denial, just lawyer speak for them to not be bound by any commitments for yes or no.

Do not be like the Pineapple maniacs (the best part is the reaction of the rich guy he heard that the working class could afford pineapples now)

He quite clearly doesn’t say never coming back.

He just says they will take significant time and investment to obtain if they do come back.

So like they are on BMAH now, you can be bidding millions of gold for them. You would expect to pay the same sort of amount, and a lengthy farm to get them.

Yeh, those guys are never going to shut up.

Maybe next time read the article you are linking to, because Ion did not say Tier 3 won’t be returning.
“Hypothetically speaking, if this were to be a thing in the game, we would take a much more judicious approach to availability of these crafts as to opposed to something like ZG.

Nowhere does it say “They are not coming back”, what it does say is that IF they were to return it would be a massive grind.

all i can say is good! now we only need cm and magetower, bruto for other people and i can live in peace.
all new players hear is sorry they removed it from the game. i was once a new players and also got that answer for t3, cm, magetower stuff. glad i swipped my card fast enough for bruto back in the day which is pretty sad tbh. but 5 mil in 2 months was impossible for new players

You talk as if this is the majority of items, rather than a few items here and there.

New players have to be digging pretty hard through some resources to be finding old T3, CM and Mage Tower stuff. To the point where they probably arnt really new anymore.

Should probably just be playing the game.

I must say that WoW had been lacking so far in the department of long term goals/grinds that are not a weekly RNG low drop rate pilgrimage. Perhaps they can come up with something interesting here.

Should be baseline for all returning content tbh. Grinding or overcoming skill checks is basically the WoW formula.

Yeh, but creating new and unique grinds is much better than using on and low quality assets.

There was a thread on r/wow the other day moaning about how long it takes to get Shadowlands cosmetics. Well there is your long term goal/grind. They exist, we just do them are the game moves on.

just wait for subs to take another nosedive due to Ions decisions and all that will be attached to your prime gaming rewards :stuck_out_tongue:

people are delusional to belive that it will never be added :0

Oh I am fully aware it’s gonna be a thing eventually no matter what some certain individuals think.
Would prefer though to be something to farm it instead of being an amazon prime/twitch drop.

Oh I had forgotten about those because I was trying to bury every memory of SL.
I will come back to them when the SL raids are soloable.

We can only pray that the people who made the 10.1 armor models will keep introducing new sets.
Just the green sets and weapons from 10.1 look better than some raid gear from the previous 2 expansions.
