I’m so glad this is the company’s stance. Game would be full of people just farming for the stuff that was taken out of retail for their retail account, no one wants that. And if you think you do, you shouldn’t. ![:wink:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/wink.png?v=6" ":wink:")
No, I want there to be a cross over, if I farm my butt off for the winterspring frost saber in classic, I want to show it off in retail.

naw, you can get it in retail still and they altered it.
pretty sure they removed that mount
Nope, you can get the winter spring frost saber in retail, and it’s easier… it’s just time gated behind dailies. They even made a horde equivalent in Ungoro I think it’s called venom hide raptor or something.

My mistake, but the main point is this, If I worked for it, I should have it. I should be able to show it off.
I am totally against blizzard linking retail and classic… having said that I think the fact blizzard has outright removed items from the game… like anthema/benediction, while turning other items into gold sinks like tier 3… is completely abhorrent design. You are removing content from your game to appease such a small portion of people… most of whom got their tier 3, and other rare items in TBC… AFTER vanilla… it just goes to show you how poor blizzards decision making is on some things.
You will have it-- in Classic.

I mean there is a set of boots that goes with a leather set that can only be obtained by a quest from desolace but the quest no longer exists but the rest of the chain does. Long story short, those boots are no longer available because the quest was removed.
That said I don’t think you should be able to get items on modern wow you earned in classic.
no duh sherlock.
But you are missing the point of what people are saying, if I put my damn time in classic, I will want to show it off, there will be players playing BOTH retail and classic, and guess what, there will be those playing one over the other. As a player that is going to be playing both, I want to get the stuff I obtained, appearances, or mounts, should be crossed over to retail. I am not asking for transmog in classic, still think it’s a cool feature for an rpg element.
Yes but if you allow people to collect items in classic they will be stealing items from people who actually want to use them in classic so they can transmog them in retail… this dynamic did not exist in vanilla and it would be gameplay altering/breaking. Retail players would literally be segregated.

And? you’re acting like ninja looting wasn’t a thing in classic wow when it was.
There would be collection/transmog guilds filled with retail players only playing so they could collect things in retail.
You’re acting like that means we should add more.

Jusr because ninja looting existed does not mean it should be encouraged or increased.
By your logic people steal from others so you should keep your house unlocked and put a sign out front saying so.

OH NOES! Yet there’s mafia guilds that would farm specific regents and recipes also. Seriously, get a grip, you’re arguing a mute point.

Ninjas still sell or use what they steal from people. That item is being used in classic for someone playing classic, that item is being sold and used by someone, that gold is transferred between players in classic. If you allow transmog collection those people will be actively working against the health of the community in multiple ways.

I don’t care if there are monopolies IN vanilla… you are missing the point… the games aren’t connected… allowing collections would be connecting them.
