OMG why are Shadowflame crests now vendor trash?

Sorry that I am ignorant if I am but…

Did we know this was coming? I was ‘hording’ my crests to see what was coming, and now they are garbage?

I would have at least spent them all if I knew that was going to happen?

Oh wow – so now I have to conduct research to know my currencies are going to become trash…?

Should have been an in-game prompt for this.

ughhh

Exactly correct, you grasp the argument well.

Yea a lot of the currencies rot in the same tier they’re intended for. I give feedback on this like let us trade this stuff and Flightstones for rep/renown, prof satchels, whatever. I typically get flamed for this opinion while bootsuckers defend these bad dev choices. Not enough players with standards to improve the game :man_shrugging:t4:

Why wouldn’t they be vendor trash with a new patch/tier?

Typical blood elf behavior of lacking empathy!

I care OP! You were wronged…or something. :grin:

Yes they told us long before the patch that they were gonna be vendor trash and that we’d get new currency. This allows everyone to be on the same level starting out the new season.

If you’re new or haven’t played in a long time then I can see how it may be unexpected. But they’ve been doing exactly this for years now.

Crests are seasonal though, most were expecting them to be trash when season 3 starts. Not a week prior.

They always do this every off-season. Literally 1 week away.

Yea but this was a “new system” and Blizzard wasn’t up front with the communicating about whether items would still be upgradable in the interim week.

The upgrade NPCs only deal with 10.2 items. This in particular wasn’t in the patch notes.

Yes but we are no longer in Season 2 where that gear was relevant and upgradable. Season 3 technically started the minute 10.2 dropped.

I wish they had done this next week when the new season/raid launches.

I was needing 3 more drake quests from vault to unlock full heroic appearnce on one last character.

Actually, no research needed. Currencies going obsolete happens every expansion.

You are not a victim.

You can probably unlock it during the Fated raids during Season 4.

I had no idea I was suppose to read those notes until you said this. Thanks for the heads up, I guess. I’ve just seen so many different: you must research ___ (fill in the blank) in order to play the game. It’s kind of daunting sometimes. Though it makes sense. Kind of like the directions on how to play any game, tabletop, cards, or any kind really.
