In game rewards and collections

Community General Discussion

True, they did change their minds on that one.

There were some really good arguments against back and forth between games I read a bit back on the Classic Forums.

Mostly from folks who didn’t want grumpy Retail tourists playing only to gather transmog and things. It would disrupt economies (for BoE transmogs on the AH) and encourage ninja’ing.

That makes a lot of sense to me.
I don’t really want to play Classic. At all. But if I could get things for my main here, I would.
Not happily, I’d resent every single second I had to play another game for something I wanted in this game.
Just like I did when I played Hearthstone for a mount, or other promotions of a similar nature.

As far as loot ninjas go, they are going to do it no matter what. They have existed since Vanilla.

Ya right, lets give everyone that worked hard on their 15years account everything. and make it account-wide between Retail/Classic.

What a great idea to kill the game.

No, You want to play a game that we already beated 15years ago? go for it - good for you.

Not sure I follow you…

All the classic players got what they wanted, no need to add to it or change enjoy folks.

They might change there minds later on for $$$$$$$.

I don’t see Blizzard allowing rewards overlap, but I could image them opening up a paid transfer in the future to move a classic level 60 over to a retail server.

Classic and Retail should be divided by a unbreakable wall. Nothing should cross between the two. Want to collect pets, mounts, and gear in Classic? Then sacrifice your limited bag space for them. Good luck getting 16 slot bags for all your slots.

Push Blizzard to allow the old unobtainables via different methods than crossing over from Classic. This happened with the old Salvage Yard in WoD.

I mean, you’d still be legitimately earning them.

Yeah, because bribing people into doing something they don’t like worked so well, warmode is here to show us…
Irony apart, I don’t think that is a good idea. Blizz said they wouldn’t update classic wow, it would be the true classic experience and nothing more. I would prefer that the developers spend their time working towards the improvement of retail than working on an old game. If someone wants the benefits of modern wow, just play retail. If you want the true classic experience, modern rewards are not part of it.

Yeah, but not from playing Cletail.

It’s the crossover that sets people off. There’s many ways Blizzard could make those old items available in Retail, and even include minute separations between them (ie, the mouseover says “Vintage recipe”, something like that). They just don’t wanna.

Yeah but they fired him, so who knows where they stand now

36

He’s was a community manager… he has no say in what is done, he just provided the info.

Just give up

Seeing as he was just a mouthpiece for the devs (as are all CM’s, it’s part of the job) I doubt the sentiment has changed.

No there shouldn’t. Classic is a different game. What you’re asking for is akin to asking for your pets in Diablo3 to be added to your WoW collection.

Except it’s not. These are two of the most closely related games in the blizzard catalogue.

how could there be an overlap, without collections?
