Bring back old PvP elite sets

Maybe they could do mini-ladders during Timewalking weeks. Get X rating that week and you can buy an old set.

Queueing into the same team back to back at like 2k in 2s several months into the season because the content and gameplay is so enjoyable and popular.

There’s always both. They already don’t care about the small handful of people with old stuff because it’s too minute of an audience to really benefit from in any meaningful way.

I’ll believe this 100% once I see corrupted ashbringer back in the game. At that point, you know all bets are off.

This also should’ve been brought back considering most of the only people who have it now aren’t the original account owners.

Man that would be sick.

It was a weird place to draw the line.

All adding the older elites will do is increase participation for a season or two then it’ll die again.

We saw an example of this with BfA when gladiator went to 2400 instead of %.

People went and got the achieve then never felt the need to play again.

So grats I guess we devalue old sets for participation for a season or two.

Not worth.

Better off adding rotational elite recolors.

What they pick and choose to bring back is dumb. Likewise to the TCG Andies out there that spent several thousand dollars on mounts if those became twitch drops that would be great.

You can only earn one elite set per season.

Boom.

I mean BFA was a pit of despair that nobody wanted to play, also it’s not like the pre-bfa arena reward structure wasn’t without its flaws.

We’ll see. I think it is back in the game and we just haven’t cracked the code yet. I bought the plagued grains from the Secrets of Naxxramas thing and the flavor text says it was postmarked for Light’s Hope chapel. But when you take it to light’s hope and try to use it, you get an error message.

Not a normal error message either.

A special one.

Some packages are better left undelivered. :dracthyr_nervous_animated:

I’m still investigating.

Or you can add 1 elite recolor per season.

Boom.

But the lore! It wouldn’t make sense if corrupted Ashbringer was still in the game. /s

Not mutually exclusive.

1800 for set now is one reward, 2100-2400 wins in 2s/3s for an old set is another.

All bets are off, since this entire patch is called Fractures in Time and is based on people messing up the timelines. Blizzard created a lore-friendly reason to do whatever they want.

Yeah but if they readded spectral tiger or magic rooster or the TCG tabards would you still be making jokes? ;V

After the release of the fel drake and blazing hippogryph it’s only a matter of time.

If people wanted it they should have thought about that before their parents didn’t have them early enough to do naxx in vanilla. Or had better internet/PCs as a broke college kid to play on.

I personally vendored a lot of my t3 in tbc because I never saw transmogs becoming a thing lol

Why do you need both?

Adding elite recolors would be a literal win-win.

You’d get the model with a rating requirement so it feels like you earned it while not stepping on others toes that earned the older elites.

People were up in arms about the account wide thing that happened (iirc) and they still made the change, it’s probably only a matter of time before something like this happens
