Turtle mount is bis dude! Complete kudos for that!
While at core it is about “lording it over people” it’s a light version of it. It’s about differentiating yourself. Getting the Turtle mount is a massive time investment potentially and not many people get it. You can gloat a bit about that and that doesn’t make you a better person - but it’s not about being a better person, it’s for fun.
If you’re seeking validation in life through video game achievements you’re doing life wrong.
What p3 meta 
Those who want Scarab Lord title or mount to be obtainable in wotlk obviously doesn’t understand what it represents. Lots of people said they wanted it back in classic vanilla but gave up barely trying because they knew how insane it was. Only those who played back, be it becoming a Scarab Lord or helping friends or guildies to get it then knew how crazy those times was, it was honestly one of best fun periods of classic vanilla. Being a Scarab Lord really represents the memories of your guild, friends, working with other guilds to take down dragons across your server, with the opposing faction who gets which bug spots. It was an amazing epic time where the entire server worked together. All I’m trying to share is having that title and mount represents all those amazing times back then. Nothing like most of any of the achievements now. It is definitely not a typical title or mount to show off or validation like most achievements now. It actually represents so much history of your server. Sadly those fun times don’t last and are almost forgotten. If you did not play classic vanilla, you would have missed out a lot of the past of what made your server today. Will leave you with a cool article back then https://www.wowhead.com/classic/news/90-scarab-lords-on-the-flamegor-ru-server-317770
It represents the most degenerate phase of Classic. Didn’t read the rest.
That’s partly true, but he’s also very right. My memories of Classic in the AQ event on a smaller server (Heartseeker) are of my entire guild camping every spawn in one of the hives, fighting for tags. We spent a couple of weeks doing that for two people to get mounts, it was very organized on the entire server overall. We watched movies together in Discord, named each of the rooms in the hive after something silly that happened there and made a map with those names to help coordinate the spawn camping. We went a little crazy by the end of it but it’s also somehow one of my favorite memories of Classic. The non-classic, end game heavy player base definitely turned it into a lot of degenerate behavior as you said but it also represents everything special and unique that he said.
Savage bruh
This was literally the ONLY raid this happened in you complete wow noob.
Right, that’s all fine. I want to do it now, in Wrath.
It’s hilarious watching all the special snowflakes get upset over this.
“But the rarity of my mount! I won’t feel special anymore!” Lmao. Imagine feeling “special” over a virtual item in a video game. It’s fine to be happy with something you got in the game, but being obsessed over a virtual item and not wanting others to have it is not healthy.
Kinda hope they make the Spectral Tiger a 6 month offer or maybe even a Twitch drop in both retail and classic, just so I can continue laughing at all of the special snowflakes.
I like this change but please Ilvl lock the achievements at least like “Herald of the Titans” for Algalon. You guys have the capability of doing that. Allows you to keep the achievement in the game so everyone can get it eventually at their pace + does not diminish its value at all.
Is not a meta mount achievement, it only gives a title. None of the other glory meta achievements ever had an ilvl restriction.
Where do you think you are? What game do you think you’re playing? What’s with this pathetic high horse attempt.
lmao just go and get it. its not hard at all. you need to execute simple mechanics and rotation. its classic dude. that being said i absolutely disagree with this change and i think its demoralizing and makes the game unrewarding as a whole.
Any chance you will add Ahead of the Curve achievements for Naxx like you are for Ulduar? (Maybe Cutting Edge Naxx is to get Immortal/Undying before Ulduar).
Lfm immortal run, whisper ahead of the curve ulduar achievement. Also have a gs of 5100+ else no inv.
I find it interesting coming from other games where special items are commodities. if this was cutting into sales…I’d see it. this stuff is bind on char really.
they sell em lol. one of my eve corp ceo’s long ago ran a fansite too. CCP went to many fansites with an event offer.
we will give you this really rare battleship. the catch.
You will board it at a set range to jita. this means you had to chug it along no on grid warping. Really slow to put it in plain english. 1 simple rule to keep this ship. actually make it to jita to dock it.
basically, lots of people showed up to blow up these ships. since this is just how eve goes.
My ceo got his ship to the station in one piece. An achievement there really.
and then…sold it when market was really good for some damn good money, in game ofc.
why…the ship while rare was not a good daily driver. for the cost since rare…it be a massive loss when, not if, blown up. Boring tech details was it was basically a reskinned scorpion. eve players will be going ah, yeah, that makes sense now.
It be like hording brown skin horse #25678 (since alliance like horses lol).
I feel a better solution here would be to have a 226 ilvl cap on these achievements, similar to how the “Herald of the Titans” achievement works in Ulduar.
That would keep the achievements available without diminishing their prestige.
VICTORY!!!
10-chars
Now put the BC stuff back in too, that was also a mistake.
That’s crazy. My guild couldn’t clear anything outside of P1 content and SSC while current during TBC, but we have all the meta achievements. Maybe Wrath players are just really really bad?
Oh most players are really bad or are casuals and just show up and push buttons without any research or proofreading their build or gear. And that from classic day 1.
The amount of players with darkmoon card greatness with the wrong stat, fury warriors using polearma, DPS casters using +healing gear etc are huge.
And we have a lot of retail babies that just tackle the game as if it was retail .
