75% of Players Complete MT Challenges

If they:

  1. Watch a YouTube guide
  2. Purchase the correct consumables
  3. Farm some old gear appropriate for their challenge
  4. Itemize correctly
  5. Use weakauras/DBM timers with airhorn alarms
  6. Try the challenge at least 25 times

Yes this statistic is made up, but it’s probably more accurate than that 3% one being tossed about. Seriously stop complaining and put in the effort to get what you want. Chances are you will be successful.

Don’t mistake this as me agreeing with how this was implemented either. I have my issues with some of this stuff, but if there’s something you want from the MT challenges don’t sit around hoping Blizzard nerfs it so you can stroll in and get your reward. Put in some hard work and go take it.

Cope.

The MT was implemented poorly. It’s not worth the frustration over reskins. The reward doesn’t match the amount of effort required.

If it brought back the old legion appearances, then that might be another thing.

So failing 100+ times for a artifact skin is?

Yeah considering it was a unique model and not just a reskin that is in some cases worse than the mythic ToS sets that already exist.

The funny thing is, people with the sets don’t prove themselves to be “good players”. I’ve killed a lot of people in the sets in PVP that think they’re hard. It’s not really a demonstration of player skill in general, it’s a demonstration of your ability to withstand frustration and how much gold you have to throw away, and player skill in that particular fight. It doesn’t translate outside of that.

Only about 10% of people who are struck by lightning are killed, leaving 90% with various degrees of disability.

Yeah, I’ve barely tried it because it’s actually just annoying and not really worth the effort invested.

Nice to see you around here Exalter!

This may be the first thing we finally agree on, ahahhaha!

People generally have two choices:

Have natural skill or put in the work. Both are respectable, in my opinion.

When the original mage tower launched people spent gold and resources to try to complete said challenge

It used to be where prior to 7.3 you only had like 2 chances to complete it and you had to wait till next time mage tower came around

And it used to cost resources to even get inside the challenge

Both are similar “frustrations” you need to take off the rose tinted goggles

Yeah cause acquiring 200 nethershards was such a phenomenal task. Go talk wind somewhere else.

Damn, you got the whole tiktok squad laughing.

If only I could also get a reskin of a mythic set that already exists in the game that I would just mog out of within a week. That’s definitely worth the time invested.

I’ve already done several of the old challenges, and I did them in WQ gear, not in Antorus gear, not even RF gear. I put in the effort back then because I wanted the unique bear and the unique flails. And I don’t even really use those weapons or even play druid now. Those ‘achievements’ mean nothing to me.

This challenge is not properly tuned. Just because it’s possible because some people do it, doesn’t mean it’s worth doing. Hard=/=worthwhile.

Why not? Farming old gear is very helpful for casuals because old gear is extremely accessible. It also makes “dead” content relevant again for a new audience.

Why shouldn’t addons help you in the challenges? Once again, this is very helpful for casual players who maybe aren’t used to tracking multiple mechanics at the same time.

Yes, it’s what a lot of them should be doing.

I thought that they’d love to finally have their main source of content (farming old raids) to be useful!

when they scale down content it should be done correctly with set stats

When a AAA game producer make content that requires timers and such, it should be built in to a GOOD ui

ROFLMAO, thank you. I remember now why I wasn’t working on MT. I got as far as being tired of configuring new add-ons, but I do remember messing around with DBM long enough to find soundtracks it had in it.

And I don’t recall having the patience to make 25 attempts at anything in this game.

25 of every shipyard mission to get Captain title maybe… 3 heirloom rings, battle pets, a weird mount, and xmog gear…

someone put some mage tower missions in the mission table! Behold all my artifact followers!

you were only capable of farming so much nethershards to begin with

you also needed nethershards to make this for your then legion legendaries

since some legendaries that were crafted were BiS for some specs

casuals needed dauntless gear to even attempt mage tower cause being fresh 110 was not viable to even do mage tower

and then you needed this to give you help in mage tower during 7.2s time

so how about you go talk wind elsewhere

Both sides of the argument bicker like children. Cant you guys just disagree civilly?

So you’d prefer if they had a template or something for mage tower?

“Good ui” is subjective. I run barely any addons, the default UI is fine enough for me. You think they should add airhorns to the base UI?
