Honestly, I understand the feeling of wanting the old challenge mode sets, weapons, and MT artifact appearances to come back, I would love for those to be obtainable again especially since it’s been about 5 years since Legion MT ended and about 7 years since WoD Challenge mode ended, MoP being even further back at 9 years. Now although I know that blizzard has made statements saying they want FOMO as FOMO, I still have the hope that they bring them back, but for the love of god its been 3 expansions with no challenge modes or equivalents being introduced for BFA, SL, or so far DF. Because I’m one of the people who didn’t play that seriously back then and played casually after school during the time of these expansions. Now I get some people on these kinds of forums make the argument of “well should’ve played back when the content was relevant, they said the sets would be removed” but I mean come on the moment I can play more and they just stop releasing challenge mode completely seems ridiculous… At least give me some other challenge mode cosmetic to grind for that looks cool AF.
You can still get the mage tower sets which is nice. I would prefer if they just made new challenge mode sets for players to unlock but you know… that would require some development to create and who knows if the dev team would be up for it.
I don’t think the old challenge mode appearances should be made available 1:1 as they were, but I do think it would be nice to make them available with a recolor. Like the Amani War Bear being unavailable but the recolored Amani Battle Bear still being available.
That way, it doesn’t take away from the players who completed the challenges at the time, but would also allow players who missed the opportunity to have a chance at collecting them. People were made aware at the time of challenge modes that the appearances would only be available for a limited time so I think distinguishing the people who pushed for the sets/made the cut off for those challenges vs. those who didn’t is still valid.
