I defeated the mage tower tonight. My thoughts

Well said.

I am not surprised that I couldnā€™t do the mage tower, I am pretty bad in the first place and I gave up after two wipes because I wasnā€™t having fun.

Keep evaluating because about 70% of the player base is seriously pissed off at Blizzard right now. Even after 3 weeks it is still a massive mountain to climb. Further nerfs or adjustments are needed. Also anyone who completed with the unscaled powers/exploits should lose their completion status. If they are as good as they claim, it should be a cake walk to face the same challenge the rest of us are dealing with.
Guardian druid challenge is seriously not fun. I havenā€™t even gotten to any other challenges because if I donā€™t get guardian then the rest donā€™t matter. I have almost 200 wipes into this and all it brings me is rage at how awful the 0 margin for error is. All the git gud people can screw off. Blizz needs to retain player base, and this MT is not going to do that. If you blue poster want your jobs to still be around changes are need. Not because you be fired for not listening to the players, but because the money is going to dry up and Blizz will be out of business.

I think itā€™s more that happy/content people donā€™t come to the forums to say how much they like something, which gives this false perception that everything is being received poorly.

The few people who do are drowned out by individuals who arenā€™t content, and thatā€™s really unforrtunate.

It was really cool of them to bring back the mage tower, and Iā€™m hoping theyā€™ll do the same with the challenge modes of both mists of pandaria and warlords of draenor.

Then lets see stats. I donā€™t think people are completing the highly complained about challenges at a high rate. Iā€™m not seeing Felbears out in the world and only a few Tome Mounts. Blizzard can see how many people are completing it, and they can see how many people are complaining about it, giving up and not attempting it, and flat out not logging in anymore.

Really? Just about every druid Iā€™ve seen has it.

Iā€™m sure there are lots in classic - go away troll

Thatā€™d be cool, actually! Maybe theyā€™ll make an infographic that shows the success rate of various challenges, how many attempts on average it took, etc.

Have they ever released an ā€œinfographicā€ relating to any game content in a remotely similar way or is this some subtle (yet obvious) bitterness trying to make a point?

I agree with this. I was able to solo this during Legion, 1st shot and I cannot complete it now. I am a casual player. Something is off. It is definitely a bit harder than when this was released in Legion.

This is a timewalking event, meaning this is a previous expansion. It should be easier.

Yes itā€™s a timewalking event, but it was advertised as a CHALLENGE.

it still should not be any different from the original MT. this was a dumb move on blizzā€™s part because they could not be creative enough to make a new interesting challenge, period. you all fell prey to think this will serve you any purpose. it does nothing for you but to wear items others already had previously.

People who read that didnā€™t have any reason to think there was going to be a last minute switch to an untested version that would be much harder. They have every reason to be upset, even if it bothers your sensitive feefees thinking that casuals who pay real money to this game should neither expect nor get anything in exchange.

You drove away a lot of players from the game. Gratz! People donā€™t like to be taken.

The least thing they shouldā€™ve allowed was Artifact Weapons and Legion Leggos. Iā€™ve said this in other MT forum posts. Itā€™s how we defeated the MT the first timeā€¦ using borrowed power. Iā€™m fine with not allowing tier sets, but why not let us use the weapons that we grinded our butts off throughout the entire expansion. It makes no sense at all.

The artifact weapon is allowed.

In fact, itā€™s BiS for Bears to use Claws of Ursoc, because that gives you double weapon enchants.

Oh wait, you wanted them to reenable the passives on the weapon didnā€™t you.

Gee, I wonder why.
