I agree with the recolors, but I also see where Kennie is coming from with all sets.
The question is where does this fit in to the rating structure? Most people who PVP don’t even get 1800 in any given season, so I doubt placing new elite sets over 1800 would breathe new air into the ladders.
A lot of people hit 2100 and stop because they either believe they can’t go higher or don’t feel like sweating tabard/glad.
I think the recolors would probably be 2k like they were in legion being a lot of the recolors would be of elites that had a rating req of 2k-2.2k.
Ok so it’ll be a reward for people who already consistently pvp and zero incentive for new players to get into it. Got it.
How low do you want them?
We already went from 2200-2000-1800 you want them lower? That wouldn’t help at all.
Are you wanting to give the recolors out at like 1600 cause that’s ridiculous.
I mean, it kinda goes hand in hand with Kennie’s suggestion of making all sets available.
But I think 1800 should be a token for a previous set and 2200 should be the current season’s set.
So devalue the old elites to make the new elites more worth? That makes… no sense lol.
Next you’ll say add a token for old gladiator mounts at 2400 then current gladiator mount at 2700.
People would literally just wait till next season to get last season’s elites at 400 rating under.
That logic is flawed.
1800 for current elite
2000 for recolored elite
2100 for illusion
2400 for tabard
2400 + 50 wins for gladiator
2400 + 100 wins for legend
.1% of ladder for rank 1 rss and 3s.
So nope, every other sets have come back in one way or another. Limited time set doesn’t mean it can’t come back, it means there’s limited times to earn it.
Honestly, I’m not even sure it devalues the set. Every so often when I see an old Cata arena video of someone playing in the 2700s, I often see mistakes that people don’t even make at the 1800s anymore.
The point is to make the set more prestigious during the season its in. Maybe don’t add old elite sets for purchase until the next expac or the one after that, give it some time to really sink in for people.
But the purpose of making the elite set token 1800 would be so there’s a more versatile reward at a lower rating. Almost everyone who plays this game has some sort of old set they want to get whereas not everyone is ever pleased with the current season’s set. When someone feels that way and they know they won’t get 2100 for the enchant, they just decide not to even bother. The bottom end of the PVP ladder isn’t dependant on the top of the ladder being healthy with action. The top end of the PVP ladder is dependant on the bottom end being healthy with action.

I still can’t tell if you’re just a troll or fried.
You trying to tell Gomachi how to play warrior a couple days ago now literally disputing an image from the actual game is laughable.
How about this. A different idea. Make tokens (redeemable for 1 piece of gear, not the whole set) just have a chance to be a random reward from winning an arena match above 1800 and the drop rate gets higher as you go up in rating.
This way people will actually keep playing instead of just hitting a number and being done.
Or just recolor them and make brand new sets?
New sets or old sets makes no difference to what I just suggested.
Tokens drop over 1800 for 1 piece of gear. Drop rate goes up as your rating goes up. Keeps people playing, keeps ladder active.
If they add recolors and had ‘earn x,y pieces till full set as rating goalpost were hit’ I think it would be a good idea, yeah.
Random RNG tokens, not so much that would be too frustrating.
Maybe a seasonal mount style progress bar that fills up relatively quickly for a token each time? Kinda like how we get 1237278359265 vicious saddles?
Oh I guess you can’t see it doesn’t say that it won’t be earnable later?
“Only” is a pretty firm word, Arf.
That doesn’t mean Blizzard can’t change their minds later but, it means exactly what it means. Blizzard’s current intent is for the sets to only be earnable in the season in question.
Yeah you’re a troll.
Get lost.
Could see this working, yeah.
Maybe hit Rival I or II to unlock bar then any wins progress it (character specific obviously).
Making a claim that stuff that was only earnable at one point in time shouldn’t come back except for the fact that Naxx and many other pets that you couldn’t get anymore came back.
They never said they were ‘time
-exclusive’ they just disappeared.
Go back to EU or wherever you came from man, you’re obnoxious.
You’re looking for ‘wins’ where there are none.
Just like you did to Gomachi the other day, you’re a joke.
If I recall correctly, they did make a post before BC (?) launched originally that if anyone wanted Naxx gear, they should get it soon because the portals to naxxramas were closing permanently.
But as I said, Blizzard initially has clear intents and they can change their mind on that.
