Then it no longer becomes rare and craved for and its desire will die.

I donât think the desire will die, but, the entire premise of Mage Tower and their appearances were entirely on a timed exclusivity. People are trying to get it back, and I donât like that. Again, I donât care about how much peopleâs feelings are hurt, if they missed out then they missed out. That isnât my problem, nor Blizzardâs problem, regardless of the reasoning for players missing out.
They can do something similar to the Mage Tower instead, and have it be for this expansion, just like MT for Legion, and then those that want that can do that instead. That would be alright, but no, the promise of exclusivity and all of that is not to be diminished because of feelings.

Iâm a goldsmith and I can tell you that diamonds arenât rare at all. It is the cartel marketing exclusivity that has made them that way and folks have fallen for it hook, line, and sinker.
Kind of like what Blizzard has done with âexclusiveâ appearances that they can decide to bring back at any time.
You missed the entire point of it, regardless of whether it was accurate. If everyone has it, itâs not rare, nor is it desired, is what theyâre saying.
When itâs things like MT, yeah itâs quite exclusive. That was the premise to them making it in the first place.
This is why mage tower should never return in its old form.
Ask for a new one with recolors or something.
Whatâs next? Getting the old challenge dungeon appearances? How about previous season glad sets?
If they cave and do this, it will have a snowball effect.

So I can do the quest to get the âHand of Adalâ title, or the opening of AQ and aquire the Black Qiraji Mount?
No! There will always be content removed from games. Iâm sad for the stuff I missed; I was pregnant and had morning sickness when the Black Temple content was current, and couldnât play without being sick⌠so I missed out.
Thatâs how it is in games.
Iâm sorry for people who miss out, or who werenât playing, likewise Iâm sorry for myself and the stuff Iâve missed, but thereâll be new exclusive, limited time stuff to earn.

And my point is that everyone in this thread is yelling at clouds because Blizzard could decide tomorrow that they need more $ and put them all on the cash shop.
And anyone who thinks differently is a sucker.

Have they ever done this? I canât recall a single time.
Thatâs exactly my point, once again. If we just let everyone have âDiamondsâ then they are no longer valuable, they no longer have any prestige, and it devalues all the time the people who worked their butts off to get them because they KNEW they were going away, put in.

Youâre correct, they could, but they wonât. They know Mage Tower is a very heated topic and this is most def something they will more than likely not do.
Exclusivity does not care about feelings.
No, because it opens up the gates for even Bilzzcon goodies that are sold as a that blizzcon thing, to them being open and brought back too. I donât recall them letting anyone have blizzcon stuff from 1 year 3 years down the line or any other time besides that blizzcon.

This is my biggest issue with it. Some people leveled characters and geared them JUST TO GET THESE APPEARANCES.

More of â they didnât earn it, but by golly they are entitled to it bc well they pay 15$ a month â letâs say they do bring back the mage towerâŚ. 95% of the people complaining itâs gone wouldnât be able to complete it anyways, then comes the nerf mage tower now!!! Posts!!! When I see someone in a mage tower mog im like oh damn this guy did that?? And I get pumped to play with them⌠this smells like a KSM achievement being bought and reflecting in there poopy play whist in my key bruh⌠no thanks

They did it with the MOP collector edition stuff. But they stated it âmayâ come back.
So what was put into the cash shop from the collectors edition?
Bringing the content back upscaled, just as hard as it was, is something I definitely agree with.
The âexclusiveâ collector edition mount and pet I believe. They took it away and then said it may come back in the future, but didnât promise anything.
So they put it in the shop and then removed it? Was it because of player backlash or something?
Yeah, and I still hate that they did that. I paid good money for the collectors edition, and now anybody can just buy my Quillian whenever.

Ok, but with that logic, how does me going and running BWL and collecting all the T2 transmog in like 20 minutes while watching netflix not devalue the months people spent struggling to clear that content? Same with any raid?
Did people not work their butt off to get those gear pieces back in the day? Now everyone runs old raids to get transmog items from raids they didnât complete on those toons at an insanely trivial difficulty.
I donât think the devalued time argument holds water. The exclusivity one is the best one Iâve seen.
It was available for digital purchase back then in 2012-2014.
It already had no value cause digital goods have no supply limit.
