Old Cosmetics

Hello! So I come here with a question as someone who has Cosmetics that “0%” of profiles have and want to Ask What blizzard plans to do with other cosmetics.

Example, I have the Field Marshal/ Warlord PVP from Vanilla and the Arcanite Ripper from the Haloween event in Karazhan from BC. Though I do not have the Vanilla Naxx set. These are all obtainable whether through BMAH or I believe 1800 PVP rating in 10V10s.

Since those are OG and available in, some Harder than other ways, Do they plan on
re-opening lets say MOP/WOD Challenge gear to be obtained as well?

As someone who has some of these I feel if some are open, all should be opened again whether now or later vs select few. I do understand not everyone feels this way and I am open to discussion but the only Reason I come asking is, if those people who earned the original stuff got their “Uniqueness” removed, why wouldn’t it be fair to open the other ones as well?

6/8/2021 Edit:

So some of these conversations went, Quite more south than expected. Also I do believe there is some misunderstandings by my post.

I Did mention i’m up for debate to see if my sight on this is wrong but there does look like alot of mixed reasons onto why we shouldn’t and should get said Items to be re-opened/Obtainable. I do See some items being Locked and never seen again. and i’m not necessarily bothered by that. I have an Example of a Company in regards to this post.

BHVR or specifically Dead by Daylight, there was a 4th year anniversary I just so happened to of missed due to a break I took. I understood I missed the cosmetics that were time specific. They currently plan to reopen those items again alongside new cosmetics for a 5th year event. I feel at that point they’ve made the mistake and ruined the uniqueness of those 4th year event players and should now open other locked cosmetics because it’s unfair to those specific people.

Though it’s not technically the same, it’s relatable i’d say that the conversation" said items were time limited and known," then they release a DH who cannot obtain the MOP cloak for Example. I decide to change my main out to DH on release of the class and I am now losing out on items for cosmetic purposes/use because the DH couldn’t Obtain it.

Another thing, I am unsure if they did or did not make a post stating with a fair amount of time, They were removing Vanilla pvp gear from being cosmetically obtainable at first, but this kind of follows suit with CM/MT/ETC I did MT on my DH. and I see no reason they couldn’t make a Scaling drop for the challenge to still be There and reobtainable. I’m ok with them adding Original pvp gear being reobtained but I don’t believe 1800 is necessarily fair in terms of difficulty to be earned again because it wasn’t an easy task to get it originally. I Believe they can reopen cosmetics that were locked behind a Hard gate, and give them a similar difficulty scale. Maybe CM could be redone with Scaling , OR maybe make it obtainable again through completing 20 or 25 level keystones.

These are just ideas ETC, But this post isn’t me trying to BOOHOO give me stuff. it’s more of a reach for new players or old players who may have had life in the way and so forth. Some game companies actually have a great community through them allowing such a welcoming sense with that kind of attitude. I know WoW is it’s own kind of beast for this stuff, obviously. But Blizzard has taken aspects from other games before and maybe this wouldn’t be that bad of an idea. Realistically the people who sit behind their computer and Zerg over the idea of “wah, no’one should EVER be able to get these items again because I want to feel special” in a RPG doesn’t/but does baffle me. Again I invite the idea people can reobtain the pvp gear I earned in wow release, but I do think it should have a harder area to earn it. make the items a comparable difficulty.

You arent getting CM sets/weapons, elite sets/weapons or MT appearances. Shoulda done them when they were current, looks like you were playing so you have no excuse.

Shame on people for not taking all 12 classes through mage tower or challenge mode. Who do they think they are - people with real-life responsibilities? pfft

I wish. I hate limited-time rewards.

The Arcanite Ripper wasn’t a test of skill. You just had to be there. I assume that’s why it’s on the BMAH.

The other stuff was a bit more involved than just showing up.

I don’t. It motivates me to participate.

no
every game has something like this.

if you open up one thing, you’ll have to open up everything.

Then why wasn’t everything opened up when MoP stuff went back up on the store a couple years ago?

What MoP stuff? The mount? Are you really comparing the mount to stuff earned in game?

idk?

when was the last time you saw the scarab event in retail or in the cashshop?

“if you open one thing you have to open everything” - we can agree this is false, yeah?

Yes? No? I guess it depends on the context. The comparison you’re using is horrible.

No it’s not. Someone said if one thing is brought back then everything has to be brought back. I refuted that with an example. You don’t get to pick and choose what qualifies when such a broad statement is being refuted.

Well, if you’re stance is just because the MoP mount was put in the store doesn’t mean they should bring back CM gear then yes I agree with you.

I still think this is a complete off-the-wall comparison but whatevs. Not going to argue about it anymore.

There’s precedence for bringing time-limited stuff back without opening the flood gates. Thus, what that poster said was entirely false.

naxx sets and arcanite rippers and r14 gear werent put into the game with the intent of being time limited and removed. they were removed/put out of circulation because the content was updated and replaced. i totally agree that items from like old scholo could make a return in one form or another. they could easily have made the rank 14 gear (that to this day you can still buy for honor points from the vendors in stormwind and ogrimmar) be moggable, but for whatever reason they decided to put an 1800 rating on it and thats their decision

now things like CM are put into the game as a challenge with the very clear intent of being time limited. you can’t compare OG items to items that were designed to be removed

They will never bring back exact skins or challenges, simply because there is to much people like one responded first at this post. They will rather remove them then listen addicted gamers cry on forums how someone got something they had to work for it.

You are exactly definition of toxic community on forum, with many others who have some opinion like you.
