I’ll have to go with a no on this. I’d rather they add a new limited time mage tower type of content for people to obtain new cosmetics from.

What a good post
The mage tower challenges were wildly different depending on class, spec, and available legendaries. And the Imp Mother one could be cheesed with various buffs and potions that worked on the Broken Isles.
I’m not saying they were all easy, but some of them were significantly easier than others, and the easiest ones were on par with 1-2 mask visions.
I really appreciate the additional feedback here. I hope I’m not stepping on your toes. I looked through a lot of requests and most felt whiny. I appreciate the counter a lot. Your observation that the cons is limited is obviously shared by a few I replied to already in the thread. I came back to the game for Warlock green fire thinking it was limited and it wasn’t. I personally am not bothered by that but I understand why the more difficult Mage Tower Challenges would have a different feeling!
Again, thanks so much for providing ACTUAL feedback and criticism.
A lot of the appearances are some of the best cosmetics ever put in the game. People who are asking for them to come back don’t care about the “prestige” of them.

This especially. GL with the Affliction Warlock one without a certain legendary ring.

Just to be a smart 
I’m going to point out that this “super invested” WoW player was gone for 9 years.

I apologize for the way this came off. I meant to mean that in the time I’ve come back, I’ve gotten 4 cloaks to 15. Leveled a ton of toons to 120. Invested a TON of time between last patch and this patch. It does sound a bit silly looking at it though haha
Absolutely it was, I did it myself on DH x 2, Prot War, BDK, Guardian Druid and BrewMaster. I am telling you it felt great at the time and was certainly a moment of victory… in much the same way as doing solo 5 mask/5 chest of org/sw is a great moment of victory the first time you do it (and imo is a much harder challenge).
My point is, the rewards in wow should be spread around and available to be earned by all players overtime (not just given out but earned). Wow is a community game, I want as many challenges and rewards available in game as possible. Given how finite development time is we may not see those type of rewards again (especially druid forms).

It sounds like you’re all primed to get the exclusives for BfA, which is cool.
Sorry you missed the previous expansion rewards though.
I have to agree. My biggest shock after completing Kruul on my 917 prot Pally (after about 50 failures and careful study) was walking into Imp Mother on my 910 Elemental Shaman with 0 research just to try it out, and I completed it. It was amazingly simple with Kruul as my only other reference. I thought they would all be that hard.

A very well written proposal, but I will have to politely disagree. I think the best solution would to continue making limited edition things such as these so that new players have the opportunity to participate and have a vanity item or appearance for themselves. The entire purpose of them being vanity is that they are unique and no longer obtainable. I understand your reason for wanting them and respect you proposing a compromise though.

Not unless they bring back everything else they took out that people want. Pandaria Capes, Hand of Adel, Champion of the Naruu ect.
We’re talking about a very small handful of rewards, that basically serve as “thank you” from Blizzard for subscribing and supporting the game during that period. It’s fine that they remain exclusive. You still have probably 99% of the game still available to everyone.

Or the Mage ones without Prydaz shield. It was so helpful that I can’t even.

For classes other than Druid I can agree, as its only a weapon model. Specifically for druid though, customisation appearances are not available. Your default race model remains unchanged except for artefact xmog.
That is actually changing in SL though, I do believe Druids get the option to customize their animal forms. Real customization options like when you make a character.
I don’t believe Blizzard would do what you suggest.
However, I think the principle of the Mage Tower/appearance system is a good one and I see no reason why something similar couldn’t be implemented. As another commenter said, why not have a similar challenge in SL with alternate appearances for each class - something fab and relevant to the expansion perhaps. There are some great artists out there producing beautiful work - they could have an artist challenge to create unique looks for each class and spec, and offer those as rewards for an appropriately difficult challenge scenario.
Still got more than a dozen good druid forms to choose from.
