I have a suggestion. I have MANY friends and family members that play (or have played) WoW. It is a unanimous consensus that having basically any transmog gear time gated is not good. To help put that into perspective, 31 individuals (including myself) people in agreeance. Their breadth of play varies substantially. My friends Robert, Tyler, Tyler, David, and Steven are hardcore PvP players (formerly), my friend James, his girlfriend Jess, Sondra (my ex), hardcore PvE raiders (formerly), all the way down to my Aunt Mary, my cousin Jerry, his wife Katheren, (and many others) whom play casually socializing and questing. Each and every person agrees that having transmog gear time gated is NOT good for the games sub numbers.
The solution that I see for this, which is very easy to implement, is implementing a token system that works like vicious saddles. Any time in a particular season if a player were to reach the required rating for PvP elite gear unlock give them a token instead that they can then use to purchase whatever pvp set they would like. It keeps it where there is still skill required to obtain the PvP set, so people won’t be upset that “anyone can get it” and it will allow people who were unable to play at the time to be able to get the things that they missed out on.
For instance there were several raids that I was able to take part in when they were current and I got full sets, it was REALLY difficult to do that at the time. Yet, the armors that I obtained for doing high end Raid content is not gated and people can go get any of the sets they want and solo it to get them. I really hope that this is something that will be done. I know it’s probably silly that I want this set that bad, but to me it’s probably the most awesome thing that has ever been made in the game period.
I hope that this does not turn into a bashing from toxic people that troll these forums occasionally. If you think that the game is benefitted in all ways by having a transmog set time gated and NEVER available again to players when the games sub numbers have literally never been lower - you might as well not even retort to this post as we will reach an immediate impasse. The blizzard developers clearly need to do something different, and the idea that I am posting is something that is a quick and easy thing to make old content something that can be new content to new players. Also, if you are unable to see things from my perspective or unwilling to try to see it from my perspective don’t bother either please and thank you. I do see it from the other side of things - it makes people feel awesome that they have something that other people don’t, this is strictly for elitest mind set individuals and all the work that went into the mogs that the devs made are not being put to use, it is a waste of time and therefore money (time is money friend). Allow old content to be new content again and you will start to see people re-subbing to get the things that they want. I feel very strongly about this - WoW is an amazing game, allow people to experience all of it and you will get great results!
Also, give me a vampire race damn it! (San’Layn preferred) lol
Thank you all for your consideration.
