No gatekeeping douche can take the memories away and those memories are a huge part of playing a mmorpeger over the years. I will remember that I was poor as a mouse coming into BfA and I had to farm up 5mil gold starting fron 30k. I will remember being so excited about the flail I told Trade Chat about how dangly it was when I finally got it. I will remember my friends and guildies because I was chatting with them about it. I will always remember how hard I was clenching my buttcheeks on that last tanking stage. I will always remember having to figure out how Feral Druid works to do the Imp Mother. But part of the limited things’ charm is that I will always remember getting it. And I’m sure there will be people that tell me I just bought it with Legion or WoD mission table gold, just like Pandiu is trying to lessen my Mage Tower achievement by claiming that I somehow didn’t do it right. Not only is it unique, not only does it have a great QoL feature tied to it, but it’s also going to be that badge of honor that shouts ‘I was there, I made 5 million in Battle of Deflation, I know my stuff’. Finding The Thing to work towards is a huge part of playing mmorpegers that’s made all the more awesome by things eventually becoming unobtainable.įor me, The Thing right now is the Brutosaur. Instead of just sitting there stewing in how sucky it is, figure out what’s The Thing that you can get right niw that people will wish they have two years from now. But sometimes that’s exactly what makes it special. It sucks if you can’t have a special thing.
It sucks I can’t have the shield and the charger. So yeah, it sucks you can’t have the appearance. Every expansion has something that you could only get then and there and it is made all the more fun and unique by virtue of its limited quality. That’s kind of the point of a long running mmorpeger, over time you amass fun, unique stuff. But i have other cool, limited stuff to call my own. In some way, having the Mage Tower stuff makes me care a bit less about the shield and the charger. If everyone could have it, that would reduce how much I prize them and rob me of part of the emotional connection I have with it. It says ‘I was there, I’ve been playing for at least this long, I know my stuff’. It’s a badge of honor and accomplishment. I won’t lie to you, part of why it’s so satisfying is knowing that it is now unobtainable. And it’s extremely satisfying to have that dangly flail and that werebear form. It sucks I can’t get them because I wasn’t playing back then.īut I have all the Druid and Paladin Mage Tower stuff.
Well, I’d like to have WoW movie tie-in shield transmog. I’m here with Benediction/Anathema unlocked on my priests and I’m quite happy for that to stay unobtainable 8) but thats for purely selfish reasons xdĪlso I see noone brings up the WOD CM weapon transmogs, guess they are just not popular! The polearm is pretty cool though! but in reality the mage tower skins and CM sets were so easily available and the time limitation known i still would not agree with it, but I wouldnt complain about it either. I think if blizzard ever adds anything back it could be on the BMAH.
(Though adding wow token probably voided this sink eventually as more players took up farming gold >_>). Tier 3 was added to the BMAH for ppl to compete for with gold and resulted in a good gold sink. Tier 3 also became unobtainable, however at the time it is unlikely they had started the idea of transmog. It isnt as though CM sets and mage tower skins are the only things players have missed out on. There was plenty of oppotunity for those who took a break to come back towards the end of the time limitation to benefit from all the gear catch up that made it easy and you would have also had other content to enjoy.įor new players, they didnt start to play because of those skins most likely. Now in BFA i play other classes/specs I didn’t before and I don’t have them for some of those specs.īack in MOP i only unlocked druid, priest and paladin i think for CM sets and I regret not doing monk and shaman.īut I don’t think that it would be ok to being back time limited (that was announced by blizzard) rewards just to get them.įor players who could have done it back then, its a shame but its tough luck they didnt either manage it or didnt try. Back in legion I didnt bother with doing them all, I did the ones I liked the look of on classes I played.
