You’re right.
Sadly, Blizzard still believes that mage tower appearances are ‘prestigious’ and won’t listen when 90% of the people that got them only managed to because they overgeared the content.
Although in saying that, I do not believe that they should be added to Legion Remix because of how Remix modes function. There should be ‘some’ challenge to getting them, which is why I support them being added back to retail instead.
