They’re just collectables. Makes getting things in Classic more fun.

Hell no, i don’t think we should feel compelled to play classic in order to flesh out our retail collections.

Count towards what? Achievements? Actual mog and mounts?
Either way it’s a hard sale that you’re trying to pitch.

That would be pretty cool to transmog Benediction/Anathema/Atiesh/Corrupted Ashbringer/Tier 3 in Retail WoW. (yea yea, I know you can technically still obtain T3 in the BMAH but still…)
I think too many people will complain though because that takes the “specialness” away.
Like imagine if they brought back MoP CM gear, WoD CM weapons, and all the Elite PvP sets from previous seasons. Just would make things less cool because certain items in WoW are time-sensitive. IDK… hard sell dude.

People always whine. This idea would increase the classic population a lot though.
It should also encourage Blizz to update these classic models in retail to encourage people to collect them. I e the warpstalked mount.
They should just make them all available in retail again.
There’s no reason to restrict appearances, especially since most people don’t actually use them. I can’t remember the last time I saw anyone roaming around using the challenge mode armor from MoP, or any of the elite PvP sets from previous seasons or expansions. Hell, even the mounts and titles aren’t really used by folks these days.
Most people just go with whatever looks flashiest, and that’s more often than not the new hotness from a raid or store purchase.

begrudgingly. building a community around players that don’t want to be there is a bad idea.

“I don’t see it, so everyone should have a limited time challenge mode appearance!”
This is probably the worst argument for trying to put limited time challenge mode appearances back in the game that I’ve ever heard.

It’s also a legitimate one.
The entire point of limited time items is so that there’s a feeling of ‘prestige’ about having it. You can wear that set, that few other people have, and people will know that YOU did that content, that you slogged through (or at the very least got carried) and earned it.
But hardly anyone actually does that. Just like with the hundreds of mounts that we have, and the thousands of other transmog appearances that can be collected, the vast majority of the people that ‘earned’ those appearances don’t actually use them. They just sit in the collection, to be pulled out every now and then, maybe, but more than likely not at all.
And if the entire point of restricting the sets is so that people who earned it have the ‘prestige’ of being able to show them off and they just don’t, then why restrict it? What’s the point? There is none. It’s like the transmog argument that Blizzard put out, how they don’t want warriors being able to transmog cloth, or rogues being able to transmog mail or plate because they want the silhouettes for players to be identifiable to other players, but then they go and create a bunch of transmog sets on their store that look like cloth or mail etc that any class can use and whoops, the entire reason for that argument is now null and void.
The game is not better off with FOMO cosmetics. If anything it hurts new players or returning players who come back to the game and can’t access a good looking set appearance or mount because they weren’t around when it was current.
Other MMOs do not have this problem. Because they know it’s not worth doing in their game.

It would make more people more willing to play classic if toys, mounts, tabards, and achievement did come into play. Kind of hard to really strive to play when nothing matters in classic… Oh well retail is ten times more boring so it is probably better just to quit and play ff14…

Nah. We don’t need tanks milking the retailers for even more money.
the 20g I have seen in lfg some nights, doesn’t need to be higher.
that 20g is to show up for the retail folks. it isn’t a carry…its to be there. Be nice to your retail tanks. they work for free. no gold, no HR (hard reserve).
I think it’s fine as long a they make anything unobtainable in retail not transfer over. I think people who collected now-unobtainable stuff back then should be able to continue to be the only ones who own those items. I played back in Vanilla, and didn’t collect anything that is now unobtainable, but I still think people who did should get to feel like they have something special.

No. It isn’t.
No. It doesn’t. It’s just a poor excuse for people to act entitled. Life is full of limited time. People need to grow up.

Where are you looking for these people? Because if you turn on warmode and go stand outside orgrimmar on tich or outside stormwind on sargeras the majority of people out there will be wearing or using one of the above
You won’t see them in most casual content though for sure, because its usually not that type of player that has those things

then don’t.
keeping fun things away from others just because you don’t want to do it is lame.
I earned my junk on my classic character, why not let me use it on my retail toon?

Because that’s called ‘being entitled’ apparently.

Because you earned it in a separate game. Advocate for them to add back in the questlines for the Vanilla stuff that was removed. But people shouldn’t have to play a separate game to get what didn’t need completely removed. Those weren’t challenge modes.
No. What’s being entitled is you wanting Blizz to give everyone limited time challenge modes, because “I don’t see them!” There’s a difference.
But I’m not going down this rabbit hole of arguments again.
