What you won’t see the “don’t bring it back” crowd do is refute the fact about the Achv system. Or the other arguments that destroy their claims. They just want to bury their head in the sand, hold onto their toys, and cling to their wrong points of view.
We’ve already seen the return of some EXCEPTIONALLY rare items in the last 6 months (TCG items, the old D3 promo horse, etc) and did people QUIT?
ROFL OF COURSE NOT!!! This is the most absurd claim thrown around in this argument. No one is QUITTING because their xmog is chosen by 3 more people. lol
1> If you REALLY have to prove “you’re special” and/or “you were THERE!”, the Achv system already does that.
2> If you REALLY have to “show off” that you got that thing X number of years ago, that thing that no one else can have anymore … then be definition you’re not using/never going to use anything current. You’re encouraging stagnation in the game. Lack of design. Lack of creativity. Lack of CONTENT. Why make new? You already have the thing you’ll wear forever… because you’re just … SO … SPECIAL!!!
And as I always say: it’s ok to have goals, reach those goals, and have a time to show off what you did! This is a GOOD thing!
But after 5 years?? Move on. If that 5 year old thing is something that a new player really wants to enjoy, let them. If you can’t find something NEW to chase, to set a NEW goal, and keep striving for better things… then the game has FAILED. You or the Developers are being given a reason to just DO NOTHING. And that’s not good for the game.
After 5 years, bring it all back. Don’t just throw it on the BMAH. But do something to get it back in the game in a meaningful manner.
