“You are the epitome of what went wrong with this game in the first place, and the reason why this project needs to exist in the first place.
Don’t even mention the word xmog please. That’s the devils work.”
Your conjecture is noted. It is wrong, but noted.
“To explain the answer to this suggestion for you however, we don’t
want to encourage tourists from retail only playing classic for xmog appearances. As their playstyle, attitude does not meld with classic players and chance of ninja behaviour is greatly increased, etc.”
I have Rhok’delar on my original hunter that I got during Vanilla. I would hate if people were just rolling hunters on Classic just to get it so they could have it on Modern WoW. (And no, the Legion Mage Tower hidden bow appearance is not the original Rhok’delar appearance. I only bring this up because there are people who think that. I’ve met them before.)
If you want the stuff that’s no longer available in Current to be available again, start asking Blizzard for ways to have it happen. Rare drops from Timewalking Dungeons, both gear and patterns and the mats for them; quest chains from the Bronze Dragonflight (since it seems like dragons are going to be a Thing again in the next expac). Or from Archeaology.
WoD had Salvage Yard crates that sometimes had those items. I don’t see Blizzard doing that again, but who knows?
I would. I mean, I plan on playing Classic, and I dislike BfA (So much so that this is the first time in 10 years I don’t have an active subscription), but with that in mind, If I could collect Tier 3 armours, original mounts, and lost weapons for my retail toons (If I ever go back), then I would totally be raiding Naxx for that sword. I’d pick classes based on the items I wanted to loot, instead of the ones I’d have fun playing.
Hell, it’s not hard to imagine guilds selling xmog runs later down the line for that very thing. Pay your 10 million gold, level a toon to 60, get carried through with gear being funneled to you.
I swear… why do people seem to not know that T3 is available in modern wow. Just go to the Black Market Auction House. It’s a 10k starting bid for each piece… stop trying to get an xmog cross-over for things you can get in modern wow… and in general.
Sure. They pop up on the BMAH. Randomly. And just because they start out at 10k gold doesn’t mean they they cost 10k gold. Don’t be daft. On my main server I’ve got about 3 million gold. Not dumping that for half a tier set.
And FYI, I’ve never been in favour of classic server looting being added to the transmog list. So please don’t make presumptions. I simply stated that if it were enabled there would be people who would be very dedicated to playing classic for that reason alone.
Not in favor of it, but totally would be doing it if allowed.
Anyway… My point was, that you can still get T3 on Modern WoW. If you don’t want to pay the cost that’s not my problem. Just stating that people who want xmog cross-over from Classic to Modern WoW for T3, still have access to T3.
Anything else I can understand. There are a pair of boots from a quest in Desolace that you can’t get anymore because the quest chain just ends right before that quest and there are literally no other way to get those boots (Hurray Cata changes gag). There are other models of the same boots but that quest is the only version of them in red.
As much as I would love them for xmog if modern wow ever becomes not terrible again, I’m not willing to let xmog cross over because it would take away the specialness of some of the items you just can’t get anymore like Rhok’delar and Benediction.
Again. Stop being daft. I will say it again since you seem to need help with comprehension. I’m not in favour of this being an option. But if Blizzard were to implement it. I, along with many others, would take advantage.
As far as some special snowflakes getting sad because they don’t have exclusive access to an item mog, I really couldn’t care. Having doesn’t make you better. Doesn’t mean you’re more dedicated. Just means you got lucky.
Literally what I said and quoted. Not seeing where my comprehension is failing.
No, what it means is I played at a time other people didn’t and earned a reward that is no longer available to be earned and letting people get access to it in a place where it is no longer available makes that reward less valuable.
Why not petition Blizzard to restore Classic content in retail instead if you really want to transmog it that badly? (It’s already a bad idea starting a new character in Crapaclysm, then going to TBC, then Wrath, then back to Crapaclysm…)
That’s the way. Cover your ears and keep on pestering us with your childish dribble.
You’re exactly the reason why people here are getting fed up.
You made your bad suggestion (one made for the 10,000th time on these forums)
You were told and explained why it’s a big fat no, yet you carry on like a pork chop as if you somehow know better than the entire community…
The problem with this is that it changes the way people look at the game, It changes the way people play the game, and it changes the economy of the game.
If people can get Transmog from Classic ported over to retail, then they will play Classic specifically for the purpose of obtaining those items, and nothing else. It messes with the way people gear their characters, since looking cool becomes more important than performance. (In many cases, you had to choose form or function in vanilla.)
This also leads to players treating Classic as more of a mini-game extension of retail than a standalone game.
The economy issue here is also enormous. If you can offer someone on Classic gold to obtain items for your live character’s transmog, that raises the sale value of those items on the auction house drastically. You’d see people selling blue & green BOEs for thousands of gold, and dungeon runs would be a nightmare where people throw gold at each other to pass on no-longer-in-game dungeon blues.
On the face, it seems innocuous enough. In reality though this idea messes with Classic a lot.
