dude im joking, the money goes to the bean counter… not to the balance/QA or content dev. This whole mount fiasco is farcical.
The real event is the cash shop tying to extract 90 dollars from you; its likely the only part of this patch that got any testing.
its crazy with the amount of professional poop eaters that completely glaze over every point you’ve made.
Like the content is not fun, not respectful of my time, and its pretty much all fomo based, last 20 years i just logged in, went to a small optional event OR just got mail for logging in during that time frame and got the item(s).
But instead we get Crap content that takes weeks to complete and were on a timer to complete it, then pay $90 for a mount that has a mailbox and AH on it for the anniversary event with the most bug filled patch i’ve ever seen… a small indie company with 4 devs and some weirdo that blocks people for anti furry content on the companies twitter would do a much better job.
Thank you.
It’s hard to tell!
And this game targets stupid consumers, so people read what you or me say and go “hmpf, maybe I should get that thing…”
3-4 week estimated to start earning the tokens to buy the sets and mounts.
They’re aiming to bleed dry.
LMAO.
TWW isn’t really fitting for a 20th anniversary expac, the event should have really pulled weight to make up for this.

If you are dps sitting in the que for TW dungeons is going to be 2.5 hours by itself, not even counting the time to run the dungeon. I suppose tank/heals will be faster there.
8 mins for a delve? Even class/specs that can burn through a delve with no problem for me it is more like 25 minutes. Slower specs it can be up to 45. Though I would grant that running delves is something I (most players?) would be doing anyway.
So you are looking at more like 5 hours. 1 coin per hour.

I agree but at the same time, tww weeklies give coins, raids give coins, so if you just do the minimum you should get some coins, the problem is it takes too long and you kinda lose the hype.
One t2 + baby blizzard bear is enough for me.
OW2 developers apparently did not get this memo 
They seem to have a knack for shooting themselves in the foot every time they take one step forward.
Perhaps that was their goal. I’m pretty sure they disapproved of the typical collector gameplay loop.
But it’s also true that many of these players are still addicted. Until they aren’t any longer. I doubt they’ll switch to pushing high keys or mythic raiding.
When I started 10 years ago, I got an in-game friend who had quit the game previously because of her OCD. She had just started a new account and was working on getting all the old reps again. At that point it was realistic. I myself continued to grind reps until reaching 100. But she burned out, and as far as I know never came back.
For me, getting mounts was interesting because of all the different ways to get them. While I liked transmog, getting Loremaster means you have loads of it. I was always a “Will I really ever use this? Do I really like it enough to bother with?” sort of collector, and don’t like a lot of the new, fussy transmog anyway.
Activision Blizzard had a different plan that didn’t involve investing in the future of their products if it interfered with short-term gain.
Are there really that many people that love transmog sets that they’re willing to spend that many hours grinding them? You can only wear one at a time …
I got my mount and I’m out. Even with just that, I question my sanity, since I can only use one mount at a time, and it probably won’t be Coldflame.
I mean, I’m glad there are people out there who like collecting transmogs, even if they will never use them. Whatever toots your flute.
But I think maybe it’s a miscalculation on the devs’ part to center an entire event like this around that subset of the playerbase shrug.
That’s ok, I can just go about things pretending the event doesn’t exist, and kudos to anyone who enjoys it. It’s all good.
Yes. Well I’ll get at least 6 maybe 7 of them. LOL at the hunter one (sorry hunters).
I’ll 100% use the DK, warlock, and druid ones. Maybe the paladin one too.
For a twenty year celebration event, this is pathetic. I haven’t bothered returning since completing the achieve for mount. So much fun, listening to stories and playing dress up while waiting to have a mount off…
I wish the tokens were easier to get and something actually drove people to do the bosses. Nobody seems to make groups for them.
I want to love this event but I admit I am playing Metaphor and just logging in every now and then to do what feels like a checklist of chores.
It’s pretty boring and bad , yes. I suppose BRD isn’t that bad.
I had a silly time on my first visit. It was a lot of “Oh I remember them! Oh I remember that.” But even then I knew it was really just shallow because once you get past that part… there is nothing here worth caring about honestly. And it saddens me because it was supposed to be a celebration of the path that got us here… combining the time gating with the release of the dino on the shop, all it feels like is a reminder of everything that’s gone wrong instead.
We should be able to get massive amounts of tokens to get every one of those sets in our own time, not when the game decides we can over weeks and weeks. Let me farm, let me have a fun time with Raids or… whatever actually gives the darn tokens. I just don’t understand how this was conceptualized in this way.
Feel like the world bosses should drop a token when killed, yeah people would realm hop but who cares you still have to kill 60 of them… maybe give a bonus for the first per day I dunno. Even that feels more like artificial time gating.
It just feels wrong!

Which is why I don’t get why they’d want to push collectors away. That makes no sense from a business sense. Now maybe they have some mis-guided “Oh you wanna collect? Here’s MOAR STUFF for you to collect!” but yet they’re missing the point that collectors want to occasionally feel like they have 99% of everything there is for a short while before more gets added… which is now basically impossible unless you make WoW your entire life.
Everybody has their limit and when you break that… the person is gone. And probably never coming back, because every waking hour you don’t play WoW you get further behind if collecting is your goal.
Oh, and store mounts. Nobody wants to spend $500 a year on mounts and other items.
Yeah, I used to collect casually, but I gave up on it. Shadowlands was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I used to max out all reps and get a decent chunk of mounts and pets, and even some mogs, even during BfA which I didn’t particularly care for.
Then SL came out, they expected you to do 4 different characters for 4 factions’ rep, the anima grind was horrible, and I said F- this in early SL and came back for a little Korthia for that Timeless Isle nostalgia, and then peaced out again until DF launch, but saw that its leveling was atrociously slow too and RL stuff happened, and went “meh…” pecked at it a few times but ultimately didn’t come back until the TWW Prepatch and even now I just kinda casually peck at the game.
My collecting days are over, my days of maxing the reps are over, I only peck at the game when I’m bored, I don’t even level all of my alts to max level during an expansion anymore like I used to.
I don’t even go for Loremaster anymore. I had all the Loremaster achievements for every expansion up until BfA when I started feeling a complete disconnect from the story because I just didn’t like the story, then Shadowlands came out and well, as I said, I just peaced out around then.
Now, I am starting a character that I intend to lock at 69 with Chromie Time on and peck at the entire game so maybe I’ll end up with Loremaster with BfA and maybe even SL, but I ain’t grinding SL renowns. Frick that crap. Maybe if I get REALLY bored with current content, maybe.
You make great points- I only tank or heal dungeons so I was ignorant to the queue times (which is why I only tank or heal dungeons 
)
I honestly don’t know much about delves, I only did my first ones this week to get a measely 2 coins- a friend kinda showed me how they go and I stopped to smell the roses a bit so I was just guessing there.
Delves aren’t for me, that’s for sure.
Know what content is for me? M+ dungeons, so why don’t coins drop there? Makes no sense other than being intentionally frustrating.
So yea, not sure what that guy’s MO is saying he got 35 coins in less than 2 hrs.
Another blizzard employee coming to the forums to gaslight us? “c’mon guys, it’s not that bad” to convince us to engage with all this crap fluff in TWW we typically wouldn’t?
Sounds about right.

The Weeklies (not the event weeklies, but the TWW ones) give 10 coins each and there are 3 of them (the Heroic weekly does not give the coins).
It takes <2h to do the weeklies: 6 world quests, 3 delves, and getting 100 titan shards (which is done in the delves, too).
I did this very thing with my Earthen Paladin this morning. Started out barely 72, did those aforementioned quests, and then Chromie’s Codex, and then 5 Timewalking Dungeons. Was 76 in about 3-4 hours (the TW dungeons took the longest because of the 5-10min waits for them as DPS).
Oh, I did the raid too. wish I had waited because apparently you don’t get keys Pre-80. Meh. Oh well. No big deal.
Spent another 2-ish hours and bumped her up to almost 80, got the last bit by killing rares to update her armor (and did the weekly Lamplighter WQ).
total time from 72 to 80 was like 6h and I didn’t even get the extra 10% buff for half of it.
