I have loads and loads of rare stuff from 20 years of playing.
I think all of it should still be available. I love my black and plauged proto, and maybe a tiny bit of joy from knowing they are rare…
But largely people should just be allowed to earn and display what they think is super cool. I just happen to love the proto drake model.
I honestly don’t see a reason why would one care what form other people use besides the “haha, i have something you will never have because I’m playing this game longer than you” bragging. Wich its not ok imo. Besides its not like they would be gifting the thing, people would still have to complete the challenge and do all the side objectives for the additional tints.
Apparently we are getting a Legion remix event at some point late new year, wich would match with the 10th anniversary of Legion. It would be a perfect time to bring back the mage tower skins, not just for druids, but for all classes. In fact, i would be surprised if they made a Legion Remix event and “don’t” add them considering farming for unique appearances for your artifact was one of the main points of legion
They didn’t bring back the challenge mode sets, they aren’t bringing these back. Get over the fact you weren’t playing and/or didn’t get the skins. The self-entitlement is staggering.
Path of least resistance, you can use me as a citation.
the plagued is still available to this day! in fact, i’d say the number of unobtainable items in this game are less than 1% of cosmetics. It’s okay to have a couple rare things that reflect past achievements.
they’re not gonna do that…especially in a remix event… 
you people act like the MULTITUDE of legion artifact appearances still in the game are complete trash or something? what the heck? I’m a veteran player and I love my purple tiger skin…ofc a brand new player is going to appreciate these.
Tip: Don’t waste time trying to get the “best” gear for the tower. It’s all about the mechanics.
Haven’t done it since SL, and talents and what not has changed, but try not to use any orbs (unless necessary) in P1. Saving them for P2 makes it cake as you can use an orb to interrupt everything and go ham, then repeat the process for as many orbs as you have, allowing you to dps a huge chunk of bosses health
Nether horrors: group em up with taunt and moonfires, and wait UNTIL they start casting and hit them with Roar to intterupt them and it locks them out of recasting for long enough for you to easily dps them down
Yawn this reminds me when people used to say that there was absolutely no posible way that Dracthyrs would get other classes; makes no sense lore wise, racials would break the game, they are a race/class combo, not all races need to have multiple classes, DH will get more races, first etc, etc, etc…
Look were we are now. No one can’t say “this won’t ever happen” because at the end Blizz has the last word, whenever players like it or not, and if the new brontosaur mount teached us something is that they will go for whatever option brings them an easy check, and re implementing the tower skins in a limited remix like event its an easy check from the hundred to thousand of people that will sub back for a chance to obtain them.
i mean you think people don’t like “showing off” their rare cosmetics…but that’s exactly why you’re here asking for them - they’re special, one of a kind, and def for showing off or, in some cases flexing…
Asking for cosmetics that a veteran player earned years ago isn’t much of an argument if you ask me…at least not good enough to convince me that it would be fair to hand out some of the few items that actually have an impact on the world anymore.
It comes off as wanting a toy that you don’t have - which is a bit childish in the same way bragging is…
i don’t get why you think someone that earned gladiator 10 years ago just got their mount because they were “playing longer”. You can’t replicate those old challenges - Scarab Lord, MoP challenge modes, Legion Mage tower - the entire culture and game was different back then in some cases (way fewer resources, no youtube/wowhead data mining). These cosmetics just represent a visual of that, but the real fomo is the experience when these things were current. It just won’t ever be the same, even with “scaling”…
I think the fairest thing to do is release a new challenge that puts you at the same starting point - where it’s new/relevant and the content is not min/maxed to death yet. A new reward to go alongside it, that isn’t boring like the stupid delve thing, would be nice…and it shouldn’t be a free trophy, i think they should def test how good you are at modern wow.
Except no one said this…
Hilarious considering it isn’t the same mount. You do realize they’re different, right? You’re literally making mine and Saithis’ point for us.
You can keep ignoring the fact they didn’t do this for the challenge mode sets, but it just makes you look bad and nullifies your point.
And the coup de grâce…
When all else fails, just make up random numbers to support your vapid claim. 
If blizz does Legion Classic, let those who beta test mage tower and complete it get the appearance for retail. PTR toons with appropriate gear. (got my bear form without luffa before the second week of tomb of sarg).
True, but they did change those racials to make it all work. And, like the brontosaur return, they can tweak the 2.0 version to be able to say “we didn’t exactly” bring it back.
I think it’s more likely they’ll do it that way. Reskinning the old gorilla bear frame with some new colors. Which is likely to make the most people happy.
No limited time event, you didn’t play back then, it was a whole year Blizzard said they won’t ever be available again, then tough luck. Otherwise we can just open the Pandora’s box an get all the missed mounts both pve an pvp, titles, challenger sets, PVP sets, etc that aren’t available as well while we at it.
I missed out on the challenger set for druid bad luck I don’t ever get it, move on.
After pandamonium transmog free-for-all and the brutasaur return, pretty sure blizzard is not going to let “well we said we wouldn’t” slow them down. Likely it will be a recolor, but I’d bet money on those forms coming back one way or another.
Gallywix (“Bobby”) is coming back. You know that expansion will be about “giving the customer what they want.”
I’ll take you up on that bet! cuz I highly doubt it.
I think we’ll see MORE unobtainable cosmetics being added in the future, and less recolors/handouts!
As someone who is 36/36 Mage tower skins, give them away for free on login for all I care. My enjoyment was toppling all the challenges when it was current. I’ve collected many things in this game that are no longer obtainable and honestly I couldn’t give 2 farts in the wind if they all became available in the next 30 seconds with zero effort.
Fel werBear is a recolor that has already come back… (twice)
So they explained that the reason they added the Werebear back was because the model itself was completely unique to druid, and they agreed it wasn’t fair to have that alone be exclusive.
So they added the werebear models to the game.
That’s also the reason they never added the re-color of the sparkle cat, or any of the other MT appearances.
Source: The Devs when they added it back.
Also - Remix is more or less a participation trophy thing…they likely won’t add old challenge mode/mt to the game - that will most likely be on a classic MoP or Legion server.
I’ll actually agree that we could see the recolors again someday, just probably not the identical challenges with the same rewards…
and god please not on a vendor
What irks me is when people say oh but it was easy near the end of the expac, yeah as a minority mythic raider it maybe, but with lfr gear it wasn’t easy specifically the bear tanking an healing challenges (not to forget you had rng legendary gear to try an get ie. luffas), also rng easily messed you up in some of those challenges no matter how perfect you did. You had to buy alot of consumables and repair bills started to add up as well. I even remember some mythic raiders complaining on forums back then they couldn’t do it.
People who say it is easy or was given away are one of two people. Either mythic raiders that just brute forced it down ignoring some mechanics, or people who never even did it trying to find a excuse for it to come back saying well it was basically given away like a trading post item not really hard, etc, etc.
It’s just a form of entitlement, I see this person have shiny an I want. Like anyone, I see stuff I missed and someone else has it an say “wow cool gratz” an move on that person did the achievement in that certain expac regardless how small or big perceived I didn’t get it back then an that’s all there is too it end of storey.
If it was soooo easy back then why isn’t there a plethora of people running around looking like a disco ball cat or warebear, especially tanking challenge weapons exception being prot pally it wasn’t hard that I agree with or even the affliction lock mage challenge tower was pretty easy. But bear tank ffs was not a roll in the park for me anyways in legion with lfr gear.
Also so many people had their items removed cause they had it piloted so much for being easy if people were paying real money for it to get done by others.
Recolour have no issue with that means people who got it can participate an try the challenge again an also get new tint, why should we be left out, we all pay the same sub.
Very much agree. Bear Legion-Tower was never a roll in the park. Because so much of it was mechanics based (timing interrupts, not being bounced off the platform, managing adds and balls) the “you just out-geared it” claim isn’t reasonable.
I get your frustration. I think folks would be less frustrated by being “left out” and more likely to make silly claims like “well you had it easy” if new forms kept coming out. I mean there are limited time mounts and transmogs no one complains about, because they can admire them but have their own hill to climb with current content.
The druid forms were different because they untapped a huge pent up desire to have new forms and then immediately put the genie back in the bottle.
If druids saw new forms as often as other classes got new tier sets, no one would be calling for these forms to come back. And if Bliz brings new forms (or recolors of the Letion Tower forms) forward I’m pretty sure the demand will lessen.
