Well, the people like you who agree with this have won. But it’s also driving people away. FFXIV doesn’t do alot of things as well as WoW, but what it DOES do is facilitate an atmosphere where you don’t feel stressed about what you HAVE to do when you log in. Sure, they have Seasonal Stuff, but all of it comes back around again, and the stuff that doesn’t they eventually throw in the shop.
Let’s be honest here: WoW is appealing to people with a completionist mindset, maybe bordering on OCD tendencies. But it also seems to purposefully MOCK those same players with some actions. To this day, I will NEVER understand the arbitrary decision to remove the Pandaria and Draenor Legendary quest lines (and that’s before getting into the fact that it legitimately RUINS the story of both expansions in-game). The choice to put exactly ONE Rank 3 Legion Crafting recipe for each of Blacksmithing, Tailoring and Leatherworking behind a frickin’ Rated BG Win. It legit feels sometimes they are just mocking people who like to check off lists, but don’t necessarily want to do it on someone else’s timeline.
Don’t just stop at Mage Tower, bring everything back. If you want “prestige” then you have achievement dates. Nothing in this game should be unobtainable.
Blizzard could put my challenge mode set on the BMAH, wouldn’t affect me at all.
I actually hold the opinion that it was much more of an achievement and “prestigious” to have been someone who obtained a full set of nax t3 during vanilla than obtaining mop challenge modes (which I did on three classes and it took about a day for each of them).
If you’re so sure, then why are you creating threads about it?
Yeah, those are (imo) the most beautiful mounts ever, specially the violet one. They’re just… something else. Whoever designed those mounts really cared about what they were doing.
Completing Mythic raids is more “prestigious” than any of this nonsense you’re quibbling about. Players are still able to complete old Mythic raids solo.
Again, if players can obtain old Mythic gear, which is harder than your dumb mage tower and CM gear, then why act like it’s a big deal if mage tower gear and CM gear is still obtainable?
