And yet, I keep running it. I’ve cleared it maybe a dozen times now across my characters. Each time I run it, I feel this emptiness inside, wasting 2+ hours for no reason, when I can be doing literally anything else. I keep telling myself things like “hey, at least I’m getting closer to the 250k achievement” or “I’m still missing one pet I think, maybe it’ll drop this time.”
I think it would’ve taken minimal effort to add more rewards. Just some lazy armor/mount recolors would’ve been sufficient. It really is insulting how little Blizzard cares for players time.

but once you got those rewards wouldn’t you feel empty again?
I wouldn’t feel empty if I’m chasing actual rewards, just like I didn’t feel empty running 5k Island Expeditions.

But when you finally get it won’t it feel more meaningful 
Addiction and obsessive compulsion are things that can be treated, but you have to take the first step.

It’s not an addiction nor an obsession. I play WoW for 2-3 hours a day. Sometimes I don’t feel like running an M+, and I like the TC system of becoming super powerful. I like running it. But it doesn’t feel like a good investment of my free time.

Torghast definitely does feel like there’s some ingredients missing. I also enjoy doing it in a general sense, getting the goofy powers and becoming an unstoppable jump kiter or mawrat blower-upper, etc. But the rewards are so anemic that it feels more like a community-created mod using the WoW engine, or something, than an actual gameplay mode. Why only a reward every other layer of TC? Why so little reason to step in there to begin with?

And you only get the rewards the first time you run in. It was great clearing it the first time, and getting that awesome pet, the title, and of course the mount. Then it becomes useless. Why even expend time developing Tor’ghast if it’s an irrelevant throw-away side game?

I feel you - wasted opportunity. A lot of this expansion doesn’t really make sense, unless the end goal was to alienate your customer base.

I’ve rerun TC post clearing it because it was fun, but I’ve never felt like redoing TC8.
I enjoy being super OP and plowing through everything, and on TC8 there’s an actual risk of failure. It might be sub 25%, but it’s there.
Yeah, I like to clear everything so I can maximize number of anima powers.

The risk of failure is what gives incentive to maximizing power. I wish it ran higher than just layer 8.
oh, twisting corridors. sorry. I was thinking a regular torgahst wing.
yea I can see that taking 2 hours.
but why re-do it? what’s the point? you don’t get anything as far as I’m aware? maybe I’m missing something though
can you clarify? these two statements contradict each other.

There is no point, other than the fact I generally like the idea of it. That’s why I made this thread. I’d like for it to have a point.

That I like running it is why I cleared it so many times for no reward. But it just kills me a little on the inside on each clear. I’d like to continue doing it on occasion. It’s a good feeling putting kids to sleep, brewing some tea, putting on some music, set myself to invisible, then run some solo TC. But I’d like to get something for it.

The only content that was interesting to me was Torghast / TC. Just for something to do. Now I’m not even interested in that anymore. It’s a just a waste of time with zero to show for it.
i’m with you, i think Blizzard trapped themselves into “I cant make rewards be there because not many people can get them and the casuals will whine and cry and smear their eyeliner”. i love music and TC also.
