Allow Anyone To Buy Previous Expansion's Elite PvP Sets

It cheapens it.

Playing any class in 2007 is entirely different than in 2026. Hell, playing a warrior in Cata was a slog and awful in arena, so any warrior who earned an elite set / weapon / title in cata should be able to wear it as a badge of honour and distinction. That effort and dedication should not be cheapened by someone who came in when it was easier and wishes to claim the same badge of honour for half the time and effort.

people who got these mogs EARNED them so giving everyone access to these makes those accomplishments and hard work completely worthless. i can’t say i agree with that.

No one is asking for anything without the time/skill/dedication/effort.

“The idea that pve players should get what pvp only players can get by pvping is a travesty”
What an odd thing to say.

That’s literally what they are saying.

No one is claiming this.

This isn’t what’s being said.

I always thought locking them to seasons was kinda stupid.

No it doesnt.
You have your leaderboard.
You have your FOS/achievement date.
You have your Title.
You have your mount.
You have the knowledge of the time and place you did it.

If you’re going to cry because someone else has a cosmetic, that’s a you problem.

Sure. Playing a class before and after prepatch was wildly different too. Didnt stop people from bulldozing mythic the second it dropped and basically given free mythic mounts.

I can’t even knock it, my guild was the same way. We were struggling to get past the 2nd platform hump on Dimensius, the second the prepatch dropped, we were skipping entire phases and killed it the night prepatch dropped.

Does it cheapen everyone elses Dimensius kills?
No. They have their parse. Their FoS (because we didnt get CE because they removed it knowing the difficulty was going to plummet) and their leaderboards.

If the same tier isn’t cheapened, something obtained 16 years ago sure isn’t.

No one having it cheapens it.
The warrior that did it in cataclysm still did it in cataclysm.
They have their achievement date.
They have their title (if they hit glad)
They have their mount.
They have had 16 years of lording it over people (if they didnt babyrage quit in mists)

That’s enough. Btw, just out of curiosity, do you even know of any warrior that is still playing and wearing the bland cataclysmic gladiator set? which..from playing a dk in 2010, 2200 rbg rating was not very difficult to get. The hardest part of it was the roster boss above 1700 which, thankfully, solo queue blitz solved.

Cant have constant babyragers yelling slurs at their teammates after one game goes a bit downhill and the group disbanding when you’re solo queing. I mean even today I had someone try to type slurs when they didnt realize we were the winning team (because they were too busy typing all game instead of playing) and we still won by a chill 400~ points. when they realized they won all they could do was type “oh” and leave. This was in 2700 mmr btw.

Nothing is cheapened. It was attained 16 years ago. They got it, and had it, for 16 years. I doubt many people wore it though. You picked a god awful looking set to use as an example.

Also, win trading and buying mmr has always existed for pvp. There were even entire ventrilos dedicated to it before discord became popular, and now discord servers have an entire pvp section for everything up to glad where you can literally pay someone to get you gladiator. This isnt a new thing. It’s always existed, for all the content.

Just now you can buy wow tokens instead of 3rd party gold or heavy HEAVY farming/boosting in other content, to get it.

Agreed, especially when barely anything else was.

Sounds like youre crying because you cant have someone elses cosmetic

I havent cleared it as of this moment.
I cleared all of TWW. Midnight will most likely be cleared. Never say definitely though. I’m 99% sure we will clear Crown and L’ura, but there is always that 1% that we don’t.

Do you understand how the passage of time works? Do you even do anything in this game?

Relative.

No. I gave you 22 quotes spread over 25 years.
You chose to regurgitate one quote back at me verbatim, wildly misinterpreting said quote, and then whined about store gotcha.

Is this real life? Am I being punked right now? Go look at the post again. I didn’t just give you one quote. You did. You didnt give me the first quote, you straight up skipped the first 4 years of quotes and only badly interpreted the end of year 2004 post from Caydiem.

What’s “stated in the rules” is the stipulations for how you get, and maintain, trust levels.

You literally have to repeatedly visit for 50 days out of 100.
Reply to 10 threads
View 500 topics
Read 20,0000 posts
Receive at least 20 likes, and give 30 likes over 100 days

then the two ones you seem fixated on
5 spam/offensive flags which have to be confirmed to actually be spam/offensive and not flagged just because someone doesnt like an opinion and they have to be unique, meaning just because you dont like that im calling out your ineptitude and general trolling, you cant just false report me once, let alone 5 times. It has to be 5 different people (or at the very least, 5 unique unconnected accounts) and the reports have to be legitimate, so you cant just be like “I dont like your opinion” and have you and 4 friends report the post as spam or offensive when it isnt actually spam or offensive. Get the point?
and
Must have no suspensions., either ingame or the forums of any blizzard game.

Since I have 0 suspensions..you do the math. If you dont do ALL of the above stipulations, you dont get to keep level 3.

It’s the same reason I’ve had, and lost it, like 5 times over the past few months, as there is a week or two where there just isn’t enough new topics to read and reply to (since 2 out of my 4 shifts are 12 hour shifts and its a security desk job, its VERY easy to just straight up power through every topic in the new category.

Just to get 3 in the first place it takes 2 months of near daily if not daily visiting.
I dont always do that, so I lose the trust level.

So you get broken links. Not like you’d actually utilize the resources given to you anyway, since all you did with my citation was regurgitate one quote out of 26 years of 22 quotes from almost every higher up at blizzard, with a wildly inaccurate interpertation, and then “Checkmate” meme me like you did something.

So you havent cleared mythic yet. Got it

So you again prove you dont know what you talk about. Again, got it.

I understand that you claim something is easy, but havent cleared it yet.

I choose multiple quotes that proved you wrong. Embarrassing you for the…27th time now?

I quoted multiple quotes from that entire page.

So now youre just straight up denying reality because of the multiple embarrassments you have suffered. Again, got it.

Notice it doesn’t say "lose trust level 3 by?

Bingo.

You got suspended. You we caught. Get over it

Hey look, i’m linking stuff below trust level 3!

I don’t know about anyone, but you should get the option to buy a past season’s glad if you’re at gladiator rank in the current season.

I didn’t get suspended kekw.

Im gonna hold your hand when I say this:
You have to keep the activity up to maintain the rank.

Do you really need me to break it down for you?

This is quote from Caydiem.

This isn’t even a quote, it’s an interpretation by the wiki writer of a quote from Jeff Kaplan that, again, is something I already gave you

This was all you posted. You then edited it to include my other quote from Tom Chilton in 2009, that you then whined I didnt have a source for, and you didnt even get the whole quote, likely because you needed to edit it quickly.

You then made the WILDLY incorrect interpretation that what both Caydiem and Chilton were talking about is a store that literally did not exist ingame before 2010 (as services beyond what already existed in vanilla did not exist yet)

This was said during the time where the npc Alexander Lifebringer still existed in the files, and who sold a prefilled Guildhouse for 100G that replaced the spell they had in the alpha.

If they wanted to do it because of the store, it wouldn’t have taken them until 2010 to even start selling ingame cosmetics, and it wouldnt have taken them 22 YEARS to sell decor with midnight housing. They would have absolutely found a way.

So. 1 quote, quickly edited to 2 (because unless you are trolling or just don’t know, you CAN edit a post in a certain amount of seconds after you post it and the edit wont actually show up as edited though someone looking at your post in real time will see the new text get added), both of them regurgitated quotes that I already gave you but wildly misinterpreted.

Ill show you that you can edit it without the pencil in the corner by editing it here several seconds after posting it. Ill even bold it in a 2nd edit

This basically boils down to, you didnt even bother to read the post I put up, despite me asking you twice, then whined about citations for a couple of posts, before I finally had to link it to you again, just for you to repost the quotes I already gave you back to me and badly misunderstand the ones you did bother to send, just so you can continue to meme in here.

To be clear, the post I asked you several times to read was posted at the beginning of this month on April 5th.

You’re only just now reading the link I sent you almost 2 weeks ago, and acting like you did something.

This is why I originally ignored you. So, it’s clear out of everyone here that there isn’t much going on up there with you. So we’ll leave it at that.

Id be down for that, too.

The all of 2 people who maybe possibly got gladiator on an account they dont own back in 2009 would be in their feelings about it, though.

heres another edit for you so you can see me do it twice. Maybe even a third time.

Just so you cant say im lying about being able to edit without the pencil in the corner popping up, I just made 4 edits to 2 posts before it registered. Meaning you can, and did, do it too. Ohp. Took too long with that edit, but not with this one.

3 edits, one pencil, other post, 3 edits, no pencil.

I literally already gave them to you
What did they “prove wrong” The original topic was on them doing it at all. Or do you not remember the original question posed because you cant keep track of conversations much less read them.

Also, stop editing, makes you look bad when you have to go back in after the fact.

Hint, this was the topic, things blizzard said would never happen, and then doing them years later, sometimes even decades (like classic wow, the only way a portion of these people are even posting is because of them going back on something they said they would never do). Also made by someone who did not know what they were talking about.

And like I said, theyre literally doing another thing by adding 3400 in 12.0.5. Its a matter of time for pvp.

Sorry, you were busted.

Yes, this quote

Housing is a huge feature with a lot of dedicated time needed. While we definitely want to do housing, and it is something 'on the list', it's not a 'soon after release' feature. It's more of an 'on the horizon' feature

On 7 January 2006, [Jeff Kaplan](https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/Jeff_Kaplan) wrote

Stop embarressing yourself.

So I included a quote from the citation you yourself listed. Now youre complaining that I used the info you provided?

LOL

This is one of those features where if we ever decided to do it, the benefit would have to outweigh other content we could be working on

Are you denying that by them launching housing with a monetization system, as in profit, was not a major reason it was added?

They literally did it for monetization. The system launched with its own in game store system a few weeks after.

Are you really this delusional?

I’m reading it right now.

Yes, I did so something. Multiple somethings. I continue to make you look foolish in front of the entire forums.

You’ve stated this about 12 times now, but here you still are LOL

:clown_face:

You are

Everything you’ve said. Housing has always been something they’ve wanted to do. Multiple quotes linked, using the info you yourself provided. They just needed the right push to finally get it done. That push was profit.

You literally do that yourself every post

you where saying?

That’s not free lmao

They’re asking for the same thing we all are, to not be given “Hyuk ya JuSt HaD tO bE ThErE :nerd_face:” Response while they revel in the rest of the game being open to them and allow us to do the same thing for these sets that we do for all the others. Earned by doing pvp content.

Whether you personally think the pvp content is enough for something multiple seasons passed is irrelevant.

its basically free. marks of honor is for free. it should require 3000 rating

Sorry for those who dont have it, W blizz for gatekeeping. I hope you all enjoy watching everyone walk around with something you missed out on. I love the compliments for my efforts, All elite dk sets/enchant illusions that exist. I will be dammed if you all got it easier, Hitting 2400 today can be done with your eyes closed running solo pvp rated content. I was 12-13 years old shot calling Rated bgs with a bunch of grown men on skype. Go through the struggle and be rewarded. Game is way to easy today to earn old stuff that was beyond hard. Classes are 100x pruned from where they were. You dont presence/stance dance anymore. Less macros, less addons, less clutter. So no, Keep old content out of reach. Game is easy enjoy the easy content or stay fighting scripts and earning AoTC. Thank you i am ready for my dislikes from the community that wont see this ever being a thing <3 for every 1 is from someone who doesn’t have anything from back in the day :sparkles:

No one compliment you for it man, thats delusion on the highest levels

If anything classic proved game was far more easy before, people were just bad with less information.

Ykes, what a sad man

Im glad you replied ima have a field day with you. If you think im not getting compliments over items people either have not seen ingame or ask where i got it from you are bugged out. If you missed out it is what it is? You didnt go through the struggle and if you say there wasn’t a struggle then why dont you have it? a job perhaps? didnt play wow until fornite became mainstream? its nobodies fault but you. I missed out on a BUNCH of classic stuff im not here amongst prolly 400+ forum post whining over why items cant just be thrown into the game when the game itself is Not-the-same. I was there in the mitchjones/reckful days when we had Battle groups. You all dont even know what a arena team is… Can we stop with the “Give us this at lower value” Game is literally not is the same bracket of difficulty. I rest my case.

holy yapper batman, nobody cares about you man, you do not get compliments, i bet you wanted to though
