As someone who’s earned all the appearances I wanted from the Mage Tower when it was current, I support this.
The pride I have in my Mage Tower skins doesn’t come from the fact that no one else can get them. It comes from the fact that I overcame a challenging encounter after weeks of gearing, research and addon optimization. And quite honestly it saddens me that no one else will ever get to experience that challenge through anything other than YouTube now.
At the very least I’d like to see a Timewalking ‘Challenge Queue’ pop up similar to a holiday boss when timewalking for the pertinent expansion comes around. It would give newer players a chance to experience what they couldn’t be there for when it was live and give players who were there an opportunity to share their experience with the nooblets.
Besides, FOMO tactics are just uncalled for. If you’re so bad at making a game that you need FOMO to keep people playing you should feel bad, and I hope your soup is cold.
