I comprehend that revisiting the idea of reinstating limited artifact appearances might spark some lively discussions. However, since their removal, there have been significant shifts. What were once main characters are now alternate ones, and vice versa. Many reworks implemented. Fresh players have entered the scene, while seasoned players have made their return. It would be intriguing to have the opportunity to pursue these appearances once more through a certain approach. One prime example that fans often favor is the inclusion of werebear aesthetics. This holds particular significance for druids, considering their existing constraints when it comes to visual variety.
I agree with you OP, but a lot of the pro fomo community would rather kill the game themselves so that no one can play it before they would let someone have some a cosmetic they earned years ago.
Sure, most of the mage tower things weren’t even challenges since you could just do them at the end of the xpac and just kinda brute force it
Removing content from a game is dumb. Everything should be available once introduced. Nobody gives a crap.
Yeah, you’d walk in with a juiced artifact and just blow it up in like a minute or two.

I ended up using my xpac level boost thing on a druid, just incase I ever played one for the bear/cat forms
Ended up getting them both with the argus catch up gear in like under 5 attempts each, and then never used either forms cuz I dont like druids still lmao
I got ghost of the pride mother and werebear form and I do not care if they return mage tower skins, can’t imagine loving pixels so much to the point people would feel the need to gatekeep fake online stuff lol.
Theres only 2 things I don’t care about being removed
The achievements themselves since well, nobody is really gunna care about fots/legacy things
And titles, cuz a line of words is significantly less noticeable and less work than entire armor sets/weapons/druidforms/mounts/etc
I earned the appearances and I have no problems with them returning. I do not think stuff should be removed at all. If someone gets their sense of worth from pixels their opinion on this subject will always be unreasonable and unreasonable people cannot be and should not be reasoned with.
It is content that should and should be enjoyed. The MoP cloak quest, challange modes, WoD ring quest, the septer quests, pvp mounts and armor.
I think there is a line. AoTC mounts I don’t think will reappear in the game in their current form.
But was the MT really a challenge at the end of Legion? No
Blizzard on the whole are making changes that have indicated they aren’t a big fan of FOMO anymore and players can farm Visions/Torghast to their hearts content until they have those mogs/mounts.
With that said I don’t really think we need to have the MT skins (and let’s be real I doubt anyone is losing sleep over any class except Druid here).
Counter proposition; they add a new glow-cat weapon item on the Trader’s post that isn’t a color that currently exists. What say you?
I don’t think they have reintroduced anything advertised as limited time challenge content. Not elite PvP sets, challenge weapons (from WoD or Legion), MoP class sets, or mythic plus mounts.
I love the mage tower appearances that I got since most people don’t seem to have them. If they had any intention of bringing them back, they would have done it when they released mage tower timewalking.
It’s time for Warlock Tower, Paladin Tower, Warrior Tower, Priest Tower. New challenges and new looks and new experiences.
Mage tower skins will never return. As it should be
Get. Over. It.
I like this low key “its wrong for others to get their sense of worth from pixels, but i totally get mine and thats why I need this returned” mentality.
Wasn’t that post from someone who has them?
Kinda makes more sense given that context.
Yes, more new cool stuff instead of bringing back old things. (And that’s coming from someone who didn’t play legion)
Firstly, I’d like to state for the record that I do think Artifact Appearances from the Mage Tower for instance as the OP is referencing, should be earnable again.
HOWEVER, you trying to gaslight and attack someone who disagrees with you, is beyond disgusting and trashy. Just because someone has a different opinion, doesn’t mean they worship pixels, or that they don’t have real or meaningful things in thier actual life.
Yes, you are.
Personally I think they should make a 5th color of every Mage Tower apperance and attach that the Mage Tower. Similar to the Fel-Werebear. That way people can at least have a similar model, but it’s a unique color.
And the only one I’ve “lost sleep over” really is the Marksman Hunter bow, lmao.
Complete L take.
“I have something so you cannot have it.”
Sorry you get your sense of self worth from pixels and if someone else has the same pixels it somehow makes you less human? Honestly I cannot begin to wrap my head around it.
And before you ask yes I got the appearance. I do not care if someone else has it or gets it tomorrow if bliz lets them.
I use to use the werebear form because I was proud I put in the work and got that challenge done. It took me 100ish pulls as a bear main on the second week of the mage tower without luffas.
I just watched my healer friend get the skin with only night of playing guardian. The mage tower has been nerfed so significantly to the point where its a joke. It use to take new/unskilled tanks 300-500+ pulls to get the skin. Now people get it in <50 pulls who have never played bear before. I don’t even use the skin anymore cause its meaningless. It use to be a way to showcase you had some proficiency with the spec. Now its just another thing that everyone has and isn’t cool or unique.
It isn’t about gatekeeping people from having the same stuff. Its about putting in the time and having the rewards mean something. This “I need everything handed to me” mentality is so weird.
Everyone just wants free stuff and once they get it, they want the next thing for no effort. Look at all the Fel Drakes given out, destroying the rarity / accomplishments for those who farmed in game for it. No one even rides it anymore because its a meaningless mount, just a number with no value.
