Bring back old PvP elite sets

[Robbo-tichondrius]

@Expulse-sargeras

like a few folks have their transmog sets on their resume.

hahaha yeah seriously.

honestly if it increases participation, why not add it back? because 45 year olds who have their mop elite set get mad that other people have it?

make it extremely difficult to obtain, and make it once per season or something

I guess it depends how difficult it is to obtain.

For example, if this is given to r1s, I doubt participation will go up much.

It wouldn’t be, that’s silly. They’d throw it somewhere between 1800 and 2400, then hopefully in 2s or 3s because shuff is popular enough. I’m sure there would be carries/boosts but it’d get a lot of people interested in queuing.

Then limiting it to 1 class token per char or class for the season kind of gates how quickly stuff can be collected.

Hear me out, by earning 1800 rating you earn the full set why not give a single token every season that can be used to purchase the elite pvp set from 1 season. like wise if you hit 2100 token for enchants, 2400 tabards & weapons. there are alot of old sets that are pretty cool and this would add an extra incentive to chase those ratings.

2700 for old elite set, and 3k for old enchant.

Uh, I think that 2700 might benefit from like an extra edgy tabard or something, but 3k is probably too high unless they intentionally restructure stuff because that’s often comparable or greater than r1

And adding another goodie for the top few hundred effectively does nothing for the ladder.

[Doors-illidan]

@Kennie-malganis

that’s often comparable or greater than r1

Kind of the point. This stuff was put out as limited time accomplishments, so to go back on that, you should have to be one of the best players in the world to keep exclusivity AND it solves there being nothing to aspire to between Glad and R1 each season.

OP was wanting it for 1800. If I’m hitting 1800 every season, then everyone will have this stuff.

[Kennie-malganis]

Like I said it’d probably be anywhere from 2100 to 2400

3k for an old 2.1-2.2 enchant is like beyond meme territory

@Kennie-malganis

I’m sure there would be carries/boosts

Oh yeah, boosters would make a ton of gold.

[Kennie-malganis]

@Holycow-uldaman

gold

Haha, yeah.

isnt challenger top 5% of the entire pvp population?

everyone wont have it but they will queue for it, and theres 13? years of content for them to grind and chase.

[Kennie-malganis]

@Yossarrion-frostwolf

Eh, I don’t know, but these types of stats are often kind of useless or misleading, I feel, especially if it’s trying to include unranked or non-pvp players.

Because realistically if you play even somewhat regularly mid or mid-late season then goals really aren’t that rough.

[Doors-illidan]

@Kennie-malganis

is like beyond meme territory

As is re-releasing time-gated rewards. If I can get an xmog I like whenever, why would I bother playing a season that sucks?

Could just as easily farm it in a season where my main spec is S+++ tier, or whatever other circumstances may make doing it easier.

For that matter, where’s my swift zulian tiger, spectral tiger, etc.? Surely PVP rewards aren’t going to be the only things bastardized.

People don’t have that paitence or want rewards now. If that means you sit out a pvp season others won’t because they want to grind their favorite sets for something.

Probably going to be added as twitch drops or prime rewards

Time-gated…?

@Doors-illidan

Tiger shouldn’t have been removed, not unlike naxx 40 stuff, which was later implemented, and spectral tigers are still floating around.

I’ve got one if you’re interested, actually~

@Doors-illidan

When the spectral tiger mount shows up in the Trading Post or becomes a Twitch drop, I’ll know the end of WoW is nigh.

Don’t play coy with me, buster.

[Kennie-malganis]

I just don’t think it means what you think it means.
