So, hot take; I’m not into the Anniversary servers. To me, if you’re going to play Classic, I’d rather play the original, warts and all.
Having said that, I’m honestly kind of bummed that I’ve never had an opportunity to pursue the Scarab Lord mount, and I didn’t even realize that Season of Mastery was going to get a tabard until long after it had ended.
For my part, I’ve always struggled getting into Classic, largely because I always felt I was “too late”. Even if the eventual conclusion is that after Naxx, the server merges back into existing servers, but I would love to have that fresh start to be able to work towards again.
Also… this might be sacrilege, but it might be cool if the quest items for the AQ Gates quest were raid-wide. It still looks to be a fairly massive investment of time, but kind of a bummer for a one-time-ever opportunity to be entirely reliant on RNG, or being Master Looter.
Scarab Lord isn’t exactly “hard” to get. You just need to invest time, join a fairly serious guild, be a reliable member, and mention you goals for scarab lord early.
Make yourself the most helpful person in a guild you will be on the shortlist to farm scarab lord for.
If you dont plan to invest the time to farm 8+ hours a day for scarab lord for yourself and other guild members, then you simply do not deserve scarab lord.
This is obviously easier for the unemployed but many of us got it in 2019 classic with full time jobs and families. You just dont sleep for a month and tank your health XD
But if you SERIOUSLY want to put the time in, it is easily doable, but this is a guild focused achievement. You need to find a team that has the same goals as you and be willing to help each other achieve it.
If they made it “raid wide”, it wouldnt be a cool achievement.
These things are directly in conflict, finding a big group of other players willing to sacrifice their time ( lots of it ) for you to achieve a completely aesthetic achievement is not easy lol.
LOL yeah maybe the right term is it is “very doable”, but yeah if you plan to spend your days doing anything other than scarab farming, then probably not gonna be on the list to get it
Not so hot, rather lukewarm and re-heated. No it should not be a thing. Unique things should stay unique - one of the reasons I’m against account wide anything.
Which is a contradiction which is what I was trying to point out. With tongue firmly planted in cheek, saying “its doable if you sell your soul” means its more captain obvious than startling revelation.
I mean, yeah sure, if I make some sacrifices I can cram in a few 40-50 hour AV weekends so I can easily get R14 but that doesn’t make 50 hours of AV in a 72 hour window multiple times something “easy” to pull off. That’s not a surprise to most people here.
