This is why i used to farm the orgrimmar mount with plate only.
Sure i got fewer kills, but the kills i got were a guaranteed match with the shoulders incase they did drop.

Quite honestly, Iâve farmed them so intensively for years, Iâd be crying real tears of joy if I saw them them drop on any toon.
Itâs a sacred item. Donât vendor them.

Youâre right I shouldâve used one of my plate alts and people who received them on plate characters are purely just better at the game and if anyone else received them then thatâs NOT what our savior Blizzard intended and they should be expected to waste even more time!
Why defend it? I stated clearly I donât want to wear the item on a leather character but I would definitely like to be able to add the extremely rare cosmetic to my collection. Besides that, have you seen the transmogs recently? Korthia and Zereth Mortis have a bunch of plate orientated cosmetics useable on all characters that I unlocked on my monk and the store has ROBES and SPRITE DARTER PYJAMAS that I can pay $25 for that I can wear on my warrior and youâre STILL defending the archaic design?
Are you for real?
Yeah it is for sure. I shouldâve expected the worst and if I had just taken the 30 seconds to switch to my warrior I wouldâve not received the drop and not been in this situation. Why defend flawed logic in a game that has gone beyond ruining the immersion already?
I purely see your ideology as, âThe more combined human hours wasted overall, the more pleased you are that people spent their human life hours because of something being created artificially as a time wasteâ. We are all wasting our time as it is, why ask Blizzard to waste more of it?
Do you go on Netflix and watch a series hoping you get to watch episode 20 that has a 0.3% view chance? And keep grinding every night to try land on the lucky episode 20 roll to finish watching your series?
Same here. Though I donât see much point in the restrictions considering you can dress up like a naked goober or a plate mage anyway, I really donât care about these being plate restricted. Just let us unlock them like every other cosmetc.
I.E THE POLEARMS FROM ARGUS THAT ARE POLEARMS BUT ALSO LABELED AS COSMETIC, SO BLIIZZARD CAN DO THIS.
No, this is another layer of requirements that people here want to be lifted. The person in question killed the boss and was lucky enough to drop the Tusks, and just happened to be not a plate-wearer. Whom would it hurt if we were able to add items to the collection for our alts to rock? Like mounts are account-wide anyway

Of course players want it lifted.
Players always want it to be easier.
If the community had its way you would have every mount in the game simply from signing in, but that wouldnt make much sense now would it?
Its pretty clear cut that you need to earn plate transmog. Nothing to make a forum post about let alone complain about.

Who is asking for that, you say? Can you quote someone actually doing so?
How is obtaining it on a plate wearer any more difficult than any other class? How is that difficult in your eyes? How is that good design in the current age of gaming weâre in where people care a lot about these things?
Actually explain why me getting this on the wrong armour type is worthy of being punished? How was it EASY because I got it on my monk rather than my warrior, paladin or DK?

And rightfully so, cosmetic items are account-wide, and transmogs fall into that category. If you drop a mount on one toon, all of your toons who have the appropriate riding skill get to ride it. The same should be with transmog: if you drop a piece of plate, every plate wearer on your account should be able to mog it. Blizz could restrict trading for legacy items for all I care to prevent whatever big evil about collectibles you guys can imagine from happening.
Yes, and rightfully so. Itâs cosmetic items from legacy content, itâs not supposed to be hard or challenging to get those.
What does it even have to do with this conversation? Throwing in these god-knows-how-old takes doesnât make you right automatically. This one for instance doesnât even belong in a topic like this. Weâre not saying that itâs hard to get transmog, weâre saying that if you drop an item we should have it in our collection NO MATTER WHAT CLASS IT HAPPENED TO DROP TO because in the end, it was US, the PLAYER on this account, who got it.
Excuse me, earn? Itâs mindless one-shotting of the decade-old bosses, itâs not even remotely close to âearningâ. And yeah, whatâs the difference between me killing the boss on the lvl 70 paladin and me killing this exact same boss on the lvl 70 priest?
We should voice our opinions so the change eventually happens, like what Blizz did with the Balance of Power questline. But Iâm sure your take on this kind of request back when ppl asked for BoP to be account-wide would sound like âIts pretty clear cut that you need to grind for this achievement on every single toon separately. Nothing to make a forum post about let alone complain aboutâ. Smh, donât you have better stuff to do than defending the arbitrary restrictions for playerâs cosmetics?

I have to agree with that simply because tusks are an iconic piece in the game and with rich lore background. Low drop rate is fine. For this and any other item with equal lore gravity.
Not asking for it to be useable on anything but plate. Asking for it to be added to the collection, like the argus spear. If you canât use a polearm, you can still add it to your cosmetics.

Its not.
But if billy can take his 20 alts of various armor wearers it becomes substantially easier.
Then why is the drop chance 0.3%?
Still takes time and energy, doesnt matter how mundane the task is.
You still âearn a livingâ even if your job is easy.
Difference between those two, the polearm was a personal drop that was granted to you on a kill. and never part of the regular loottable. The tusks however are simply a very rare drop.
I agree with this. If its from an old raid, anything, regardless of armor type, should be obtained. Any BoP item should.

It works like that because someone at Blizzard designed it this way.
It didnât just appear from thin air, it was literally coded into the game like this before cosmetics existed and has been left there due to laziness.
In an online service we pay for, things should be updated with the times.
Going by that logic, ALL grey and white items shouldnât be useable because they werenât like that when they were released. My soul trader gear should not be usable as itâs white-tier items and thatâs not how it worked on release.
So if one person decided they only wanted to play plate classes and had 20 alts, thatâs fine, but someone with 20 alts of different armour types makes a difference? I donât get your defense of this logic. I have over 30 alts, 1/4 of which are plate. I donât feel I deserved it any better using my plate characters than I did my leather.
On top of that, Iâve wasted an insane amount of time to get these alts. I donât know what earth you live on but wasting time does not make something more valuable or harder to get. It makes it bad design and a waste of time. Getting 99 woodcutting on RuneScape isnât hard, it just takes time. That is the same scenario.

Correct.
Yes, if they chose to level 20 of the same armor type, they will have a greater chance of earing the transmog for that armor type if they choose.
If you feel youâre wasting time maybe its time for a break.
It does make it harder to get, and in essence more valuable.
There is a big difference between spending your time and having your time artificially wasted. I appreciate what youâre getting at, but in the 2023 gaming world we donât extreme time wastes.
I am ok farming a mount with 1/100 drop rate, Iâve already got most of them. I havenât considered it time wasting. Even things like The Insane title are a long grind but at least a guaranteed reward. Farming the Sha of Anger before the drop rate on the other hand felt like a unfair time waste, much like these shoulders. Boosting the drop rate was something that should have been done far before them accidentally breaking it.
By making things artificially extremely rare on top of time gating on top of it being a paid service is a mix of terrible design in the current generation of gaming where we donât want to just be locked out of things for no fair reason.
Not to mention someone who ALREADY HAS the item in question and just wants to be able to use it. And I have eased off playing and only log on for raids for sure because I agree with the, âIf you feel youâre wasting your time, itâs time to take a breakâ sentiment.
Seeing some of this in DF so sure, donât see the problem. Trick is to get Blizz devs to actually revisit old content ofc.

With the amount of players engaging in legacy content in some way or another they should definitely do it. I also love how nice and casual DF is, and I actually run out of stuff to do, which is very good, so them improving some legacy stuff that I may or may not do would be awesome
