if your buying something to hold onto just cause you think itâs gonna make you rich someday, might i reccomend buying stocks, or art? 
i mean, surely theyâll be worth more than a set of code in a video game one dayâŚ

So could TCG mounts/pets, i purchased literally every single TCG mount and pet from the AH with gold i earned in game before tokens were even a thing. People can feel however they like about these Twitch drops, but i wish everyone would stop pretending like all original TCG owners are credit card wielding whales because it just isnât true.

I agree. They should look into Bitcoin.
After all, pixels in an aging game and crypto both appeal to people who like to invest in imaginary crap.

Hey! Iâm still collecting 20% interest on a coin that certainly wonât go the way of Luna.
OP this would have happened if the TCG was still being produced and they reprinted the card.
TCG items dropping in value because theyâre rerelease isnât a new thing.

the physical card is still rare. The in game items you have likely came from hackers duping them in the past. Those are not rare. And if you really went and spent thousands of dollars buying 3 of the same bit of cardboard thats a you issue

Thatâs why you have to collect stuff that they state is never coming back and is actually limited time like mage tower stuff in legion, the wow movie promo items, the motorcycle mount on horde etcâŚthereâs often legal mumbo jumbo that prevents them from ever returning no matter how much some people here beg for them too.
I hear these things called NFTs are pretty hot. You should buy a bunch of those to offset your losses on the cub.

Oh no! Anyways.
You had years to sell and flex your stuff. Itâs fine donât be a baby, and with tcg you donât even really do anything in game for them.

Threads like this make no sense. Thus far nothing that has been put up on the shop or Trading post have been items that you would actually earn in-game. Every single cosmetic in both these systems has been nothing but marketing gimmicks from past years or recolours and therefore have no âsense of accomplishmentâ tied to them.
If you were trying to make gold from any of these items, you accept the fact that you were just trying to mess with Blizzâs marketing department and therefore are legitimate targets for getting burnt.

FOMO is one of the worst things in a game.
new player comes in
damn thats a cool armor set, how do i get it
oh, go back in time and do challenge mode for it!
Yep, screw that.
Let people get their stuff.
I have the renowned explorer set, and a bunch of mage tower stuff and i couldnât care less if the rest of the playerbase acquires it, i legit feel bad for the renowned explorer being gone, like what the hell?, one of the few âcasualâ sets that look good canât be acquired anymore.

But now I can get the cat. I deserve to have fun. No?
I swear people told me they wouldnât go this far with trading post stuff, well guess what? You were absolutely wrong to think they werenât.

Hoarding for years? I did the mistake of buying them with hard earned gold recently because I enjoy collecting rare things, again Iâm the fool obviously. Now the issue is I donât really want to farm or see any effort collecting rare things because they simply loose their value.

They should have offered Spectral Cub, which was never available in the NA game.

I wanted to collect rare things, thatâs all. If I had known these would not stay rare Iâd of never even touched them. Now the issue becomes if nothing stays rare, what is the point in collecting them or seeing effort getting them or farming them? Impossible to get items I can understand why they would reapear in the game in some form, but this one is far from an imposible to get item.

Considering many players will not pick it up while itâs available, that many players are not playing right now, and many more will join after, I suspect it will remain relatively uncommon.
On top of this, the trading post version cannot be caged and sold.
It remains a rare item. There is still value in the TCG version.
But I think it is better to bring these items back in some capacity, rather than having them propel a secondhand market for a defunct TCG that I donât think anyone can even remember how to play.
