It’s funny. Everyone was so excited for mage tower even my friend who quit back in December wanted to come back. But then we found out this “mage tower” isn’t actually giving any artifact appearances lol.
At that point, why even bother? I have never seen interest in a returning feature die so fast. Seriously, why would Blizzard do this?
IDK I’m still excited, never got to try it out so it might be a cool thing to do.
Actually, I think I did try this out, and I got one-shot because I was super casual in gear that wouldn’t let me get into LFR. And then I said no thanks! But now it will be cool to try it. I’d like to beat one of the challenges if possible, and I don’t care about the rewards because I look exactly how I want to look already.
It’s almost like it’s been a month since it was announced and people can’t really get hype for something that has no release date yet.
It has nothing to do with artifact appearances.
The people here demanded mage tower back and they gave it back as time walking
They firmly stated they will never bring back mage tower artifact skins and they kept their foot down by giving alternative rewards for it
Take it or don’t do mage tower
Made the bed? Lie in it
This is nonsense, no offense.
your thread is nonsense for thinking they would change their minds about their stance of mage tower skins
they firmly said they won’t come back after Legion was over and they stuck to it.
This thread is nonsense.
so what? you think blizzard hasn’t gone back on their “firm” stances before?
Your thread is nonsense, no offense.
You make it sound like this was something that was kept from us, but they revealed the rewards in the exact same announcement as the mage tower’s return. Even WoWhead, which had datamined the sets weeks in advance, was saying that these would likely be the mage tower’s new rewards.
mage tower challenge itself yea it should come back cause it was a unique fight
the mage tower artifact appearances?
they said no and they mean NO
now take their no and be done with it
Wow, guy, easy. Whatever issue I personally find unsatisfactory is the reason wow is dying, OK? Stick to the script
that doesn’t really answer my question though. blizzard has firmly established plenty of things before. do you think this would be a first for them to backpedal on?
they will not backpedal on mage tower artifact skins and they never will
be grateful you get new reskins of a tier in replacement and be done with it
besides now that this exist, mage tower skins are most likely NEVER EVER will come back and I’m glad they won’t for sure
you don’t really have to take my word for it though. you can just look at what a ghost town the game is and the general feedback from wow communities.
looks like their firm stances this expansion have resulted in disaster 
You know when blizzard steps back from that stance it will be amusing to see the whiplash you have as you defend that stepback.
honestly, this post seems more like you trying to convince yourself of what you’re saying rather than anything else!
And this is because of the mage tower, though?
This seems like an untenable argument. Every dev team has to have some lines in the sand. Blizz frequently makes wrong decisions, sure, but you seem to be implying that every major request from the community needs to be catered to in order to avoid “disaster.”
There’s absolutely no way to make everyone happy in WoW. Sure, the community is generally pretty unified on issues like conduit energy and covenant swapping, but the mage tower is perhaps one of the most contentious issues WoW has ever seen; right up there with high elf inclusion.
Re-adding the cosmetic rewards just makes collectors who do time-exclusive content upset, which in turn makes them less likely to do such content in the future.
Seriously. Make your own “should mage tower weapons come back?” thread and I guarantee you’ll get a civil war with responses split right down the middle.
idk about all that, but this expansion is their biggest disaster yet!
except I and everyone else knows that they stand their ground on mage tower skins
however you can wait till Legion classic rolls around and you can enjoy your mage tower skin then
infact if you’re so into limited time things you can get your 2nd chance right now in classic, you’re wasting time bickering here when you can get corrupted ashbringer or anyof those limited time items before the inevitable wotlk classic and beyond
