Because it’s fomo, it’s just there to make money, there’s no logical purpose for it and it just makes newer players feel bad and want to play less

Someone has most likely mentioned you can still get something like an alternate skin whenever legion timewalking is up.
I personally don’t care if it ever comes back. I did it in legion on enhancement, and the enhancement doomhammer skin for mage tower back then is garbage and I never use.

IDC about the mage tower appearances. At least not the weapons. I didn’t play most of legion and joined in right at the tail end, so I had no desire to bother- I was aiming to get path finder.
I do have the current mage tower sets on all my max level characters as well as the book (it’s amazing). I actually think it’s better now, as you can’t out gear it and you do need to have skill to complete them. It’s not impossible- anyone who can do mechanics and pay attention for 5-20 minutes can handle it, but it’s still a bit of a challenge.
Personally I want more challenges like it, with other cool and unique appearances that- so long as someone can complete the challenge- stay.
As for old challenges with sets you can’t get, as someone with a MoP challenge mode set, and the OG AotC mount, and the “Black Harvest” warlock title- all things you can’t get anymore, my achievement isn’t diminished by someone else getting those things.
It wouldn’t bother me, but I do like having exclusive rewards as well. Yeah it kinda stinks for people not playing- but that’s the point. It’s a reward to players who were there at the time and could complete the challenge.
That’s okay. I’d argue it’s good and cool and makes those challenges more incentivizing. It’d be different it was a limited time thing that you had to buy or spend real money on (and no a sub doesn’t count as this is a subscription based game). It’s not however, sit’s something anyone currently playing the game can earn, if you didn’t in that times, better luck next time.
Here is my issue with this. Why is it people only care about making the Mage towers obtainable? Why should the things I worked on become free for all when things like Challenge mode gear, armor tint for mythic clear/titles no longer available for certain hard modes/world first are not?
Look, you want my mage tower skins, sure as soon as the above mentioned get to be obtainable again.

Why not just let the exclusivity be the challenge itself? If someone is bad and doesn’t want to improve, they’re not going to get the thing, no matter how much time passes (unless they pay for a pilot, which of course can land them in some hot water).

People make plenty of post about the challenge mode sets being on the trading post or something which is ridiculous to me. But yeah, like I said, I won’t throw a fit if things I earned suddenly became available, but them being exclusive rewards to those who did the challenge at the time is 100% fine. It’s great even.
That’s what they did with the new mage tower sets. It’s a challenge, and you can only get it from the challenge. There’s no time limit on when. That’s fine.
But it’s also fine to have seasonal challenges, that are for that season and moment in time. Sometimes people get t hem, sometimes people pay for them, and some people miss out. That’s how it goes. The mage artifact weapon skins were for that moment in time. They’re not coming back, and I don’t think they should.

Then they should get good and get the things to look cool while they’re available instead of complaining about it later. Wanna look cool? Get good at the game.

Aren’t the alternative skins set appearances but not weapons?
Personally, as much as I want certain Mage Tower appearances, I’m 100% okay with having to work for it. If they made something even harder than the original Mage Tower when it first came out, heck if they made it scale to your item level so you could never out-gear, I would be okay with that. For me it’s not about it being handed out, it’s about it being available to get in some way.

The nice thing with the balance of power Mogs are now usable on every character associated with the account. If you got the achievement on one toon you have them all now. As long as you cleared the other objectives to unlock the different color schemes.
I mean, nothing about these appearances was hard to get by the end of legion, people shouldn’t be punished for just not playing at a time.

A deadline was made. It exists. It does not stop existing because you do not want it to. A deadline is not punishing people. A deadline is a deadline. Time sensitive means time sensitive. You are not being punished because you did not participate in something. You are the result of your lack of participation.

You’re just fighting goalposts that are being moved. First it’ll be “you weren’t there,” then it’ll be “you’re not good enough at the game,” and they’ll just cycle back and forth. Good luck.

It’s absolutely fine if he wants to make the argument nothing was skillful at the end of Legion. He can have that opinion all he likes. The fact is a deadline was imposed, stated, and maintained. And it shouldn’t just be removed because he wants it to, just like deadlines function in life at all.

I also have all 36 and I disagree.

Nah they should stay gone. Seasonal rewards are good for the game. It’s a handshake between Blizzard and the players: we stayed subbed, no matter how crappy the xpac is, they give us a seasonal exclusive reward.
I recommend not missing the next one.
