I hate limited time content and I hate YOU Blizzard

Gameplay Transmogrification
1

For 10 years, 10 F**** YEARS I’ve been waiting, and wishing, and complaining that I didn’t have a proper Shado-Pan set. As soon as I get promoted and have to step away to focus on real life, there’s a timed MOP event with the sets and by the time I’m back it is over.

I cannot farm it, I cannot buy it at the AH, I cannot give Blizzard MORE MONEY for the Shado-Pan transmogs that I’ve been waiting for a DECADE

I hate you so much Blizzard, WHY DO THIS?!

And there is nothing I can do, there is nobody I can talk to, to make a request or offer to pay for it

“But it might come back in the future”

I’m not gonna live forever! I’ve waited for 10 years already!

Limited time content is garbage and I’ll probably cancel my subscription and step away. Why? Because I’m feeling hatred while I’m in the game. I log in, remember this and get upset. Good job

I’m sorry that happened to you and it is making you feel really bad.

While it may sound cross, or rude…Maybe taking time away from the game for awhile will be a good thing for you. There is so much in the game that is un-obtainable. it’s something we have to live with, and will happen.

If some arbitrary armor set gets you this upset, maybe stepping away will help you. They have talked about bringing back MoP remix at some point…When? idk.

Or, use this energy to start working towards things that you can get now in game.

So while i can sympathize with you, i don’t believe this is the right mentality towards the game.

Did you understand that I just got back? Been away for like a year and then when I get back, they did this crap of limited time. Your comment makes no sense with the context given

I’m sorry you missed MoP Remix. Hopefully they’ll bring some of the rewards back as part of the trading post or something else. Telling Blizzard you hate them as a company for introducing time-limited items is not a healthy way to approach gaming.

You do realize it will come back right? They said they will be bringing it back already, likely during content droughts or something along those lines. It probably didn’t need to be a limited time event, same with plunderstorm, but the way they seem to want to utilize them is to give players something to do when there is no current content (like end of expansion drought maybe if they dont do season 4s anymore).

Seems fine, also mop remix lasted a pretty long time and it was very very easy to get the sets since leveling was so fast, its a bit surprising 20-30 mins a day or a few days a week wasn’t available but either way just wait for it to come back, will probably happen before next expansion even.

You’re bugging :flushed:, do you know how LONG Remix was offered for? Plunderstorm? This Anniversary event? If it was that serious, idk you should’ve bought a Dell laptop dude…:man_facepalming:t5: :man_shrugging:t5: :rofl:

I’m sure they will offer stuff thru the Trading Post and the shop. Next time keep that WoW addiction up :upside_down_face:, thats what you get for being a quitter…:wink: :rofl: Totally joking​:v:t5:

The AH mount is the worst thing they have ever added into the game. And the only reason people bought it is because FOMO and the fact is has an AH and mailbox on it.

A truly profound but unspoken issue is how lazy and incomplete the integration of the Wardrobe system had been between MoP and WoD.
In PvP Season 15 (Prideful Gladiator), you can check my achievements for Marshal (2200 RBG rating), Prideful Conquest (27,000 CP) and Prideful Combatant (100 RBG wins).

I HAD – the Bloody Dancing Steel / Glorious Tyranny Elite PvP Weapon Enchant
and pieces of the Prideful Gladiator’s Dragonhide Elite PvP Armor Set (Druid).

AND YET.
TO THIS DAY (it’s been over a decade now)
I cannot reclaim them. I’ve tried numerous times over the years – tickets with screenshots and video links where my character could be seen with the enchant from other players screens, even a phonecall, in-game suggestions, forum posts and advocacy. Nothing has ever helped.

This problem had been PARTIALLY remidied,
while ACTIVELY disrespecting and harming eligible players in the process –
In Legion p.7.1.5 Glorious Tyranny was retroactively obtainable as an Illusion with the then battlegroup-fluid Duelist and Hero achievements. This NOT ONLY neglected many players like myself who had met the original requirements… but EVEN gave the appearances to some players who WEREN’T originally eligible (just one example, S14 NA Duelist was lower than 2200 last I re-checked the other year).

I have managed to find peace and consolation in the obtaining of other, newer rewards – primarily the Shadow Flame PvP illusion, which I love very much and frankly think is better looking on most weapons (since Glorious Tyranny was visually nerfed in Legion as well).

This example just goes to show how, specifically for MoP, and especially for PvP – the vast and sudden system changes have irrevocably altered and taken away from the game’s reward structure. I think it’s fairly self-evident, that this trend of game changes alongside the impersonality and reduction in live Dev-GM-Player communication over the years (since WoD… a trend emerges?) has significantly hindered the feel and reward in the MMO world we call a second home.

At least, with new things to get, and arguably with re-introductions and re-skins (which I dislike precisely for their harm to the MMO aspects of the game’s reward structure)… there’s some light at the end of the tunnel. A hope that one can re-fill the holes in their collection and sense of achievement with new things. Nevertheless, the feeling of betrayal and neglect remains and indeed, ‘stings’ whenever you see somebody with the reward you USED to have a decade go as OP had alluded to. That is not great for the health of the game and its players’ incentivization.
